Not quite retro nor classic, but I had a chance to scope out Rally NZ on the weekend. Cheaped out this year and didn’t go to any of the paying stages – but the Domain super special stage was a good enough approximation, albeit rather dark…
this Olympus E-30 continues to impress with its ability to perform reasonably well even in crap low light conditions. And don’t get me started on the merits of the “trashy” 40-150mm kit lens that came with my old E-500. (I like it, actually)

otherwise there’s a selection of photos for quick perusal after the jump!

The only oldschool car present...
the dish is a bit much tbh
The rally will be back in 2012, or so sources claim.
Is it fair to pay if its on a public road, do you think?
