A dream car exhibition opened beginning of this month, today I decided to visit that and take some shoot for my wife new site (she designed mflenses.com) I brought to there a bunch of manual lenses

Nikkor-S 1.4/50
Nikkor P.C Auto 2.5/105
Vivitar 2.8/24mm
Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 2.8/200mm
Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 1.5/75mm

and two camera Nikon-D50 and Olympus E-1. I didn't know that how is the lighting there and I have no idea how can make photos from cars. I worried about the distance this is the reason why I planned to use CZJ Sonnar f2.8/200 lens.

I found pretty nice lighting and very polite stuff so I could go close to the cars much as I would. I put first CZJ Biotar 75mm f/1.5 to Olympus E-1 and Nikkor-S 50 f/1.4 to Nikon D-50. Nikon D50 performed very well, with any lenses. I can't used Olympus-E1 same effectively than Nikon D50 I found on the back LCD picture quality is low, but when I got home, on big display I saw nice pictures taken by E-1. So finally I used mostly Nikkor-S 1.4/50mm and Nikkor-105mm lenses.

Here some selected captures:

My guess was a poor one anyway. The aquamarine blue car looks like a
1956 Olds 88 and I'm now puzzled by what the gold car is...oh well, long
time ago. Wink

BTW, how to put things in quote boxes here?

That's what I thought I did and then edited out my comments, keeping
the part of the forumer's message by using "quote" before and "/quote" afterwards,
but it didn't work. It seems to work just fine now, thanks.
(I left off the brackets to the above to demonstrate.)
EDIT: I left off the quotation mark to the person's name which fudged the
whole thing up, sorry to fog up your glasses, Orio! Embarassed

No need, Attila. Smile I'm not that much of a car enthusiast, either. It was
just a little nostalgia, is all. Thanks for the offer,

Bill
