Mammoth fisheye lens from the 1970s sells for £100,000

It's getting rarer these days to find the kind of specialist shops that have so much stock from years gone by that they're more like a mini-museum than a retail outlet. Grays of Westminster is just such an emporium. Exclusively dealing in products spanning the whole history of the Nikon Corporation, the award-winning central London curiosity shop managed to generate a huge online buzz this week by announcing the sale of an exceptionally rare monster of a wide-angle Nikkor lens for an equally gargantuan price of £100,000 (US$162,312)...

Pirelli notes from Assen

Giorgio Barbier, Racing Director Pirelli Moto, sums up the third round of the 2012 WSBK Championship held at the TT Assen circuit in the Netherlands, from the point of view of the championship’s official one-make tyre supplier.

“The Assen round was the scene of great excitement, providing very spectacular races for all WSBK enthusiasts with the contribution of extremely fickle weather conditions. In fact, rain showers alternated with sunshine, making tyre selection strategies fundamental. For Superbike, slick tyres were used for the first 13 laps of race 1 and almost all the riders opted for the SC1 (R300) solution on the rear, introduced for the first time this year during the Imola round as a development of the standard SC1, but more suitable for use in lower temperatures. After the race was red flagged due to rain, for the remaining 9 laps of race 1, on the other hand, the riders all used rain tyres.

Race 2, declared as a wet race even though it wasn’t raining at the start, played some nasty tricks on a few riders, including Carlos Checa (Althea Racing) who, convinced that rain was on the way, decided to start with two rain tyres and was then forced to come into the pits to change tyres, mounting two slick solutions, but losing time and any possibility of another podium. This was certainly a weekend rich with satisfaction for Sylvain Guintoli and the Effenbert Liberty Racing team as well as for Jonathan Rea (Honda World Superbike Team) who nailed the right solutions for both races.

My compliments also to Lorenzo Lanzi who surprised everyone in his debut Supersport race by taking the top step of the podium.” Giorgio Barbier, Racing Director, Pirelli Moto
