jj, the first is obvious, but what is the second one? I'm somewhat ashamed to say that I don't recognize that.
It's a Marcos, although I'm not sure which model as they all look pretty similar and owners tweak the bodies all the time! So probably a Mantula Spyder, but don't quote me on that!
Not a common sight, the Marcos. I was struggling to remember what it was. Saw one on the road a few years ago - surprising pretty. Fast too, less surprisingly.

I'll contribute a couple taken with my 1D2n and magic drain pipe at f/5. I'm new to shooting at stuff that moves. Next time I'll mind my shutter speeds better for a little more sharpness. Two years ago I tried shots like this with my 5D and the same lens and same dog. I didn't really get any keepers with the 5D, but the 5D is still a keeper. So is the dog, Cleo.--Eric.
