One photographer employed at the photo agency I work at does almost
all of his action and also the portraits with his 4/600. For an
impression of his work, look at www.tylerlarkin.de (in English). For
further formula 1 pics of him, you may also have a look at our
agency�s website: www.asa-online.net (only available in German yet;
skip the flash plugin, it takes too long to load imho).
Cheers,
Marco
