Hello Bob,
I am going to RIAT this Sunday, I was wandering if you can give me some advice on what settings to use to shoot fast jets? I am guessing maybe using A mode, F6-8 and ISO 800 to 1600? It will be my first time using an slr at an airshow.
Thanks

Once I receive my 300mm prime do you think I should sell it or keep the zoom as a backup lens? baring in mind i already have a sigma 150mm 2.8 prime coupled to a 1.4tc.

MY WISH LIST:
Nikon 70-200 2.8 to replace the 70-300
ultra Wide angle f2.8 nikon lens
400mm prime
180mm sigma macro lens.
SB910
Nikon D7200
Can any one tell me how to grow money on trees?

180mm shots look sharper than my 150mm. The main issue is it costs a lot lot lot more.
Didnt realise sigma had a 70-200. I will get it if it is just as good. At the top of my list is a new body D7200. Got the 300mm f4 today, really really struggled in low light (7PM) with the tc. Took a few photos of blackbirds, sparrows and goldfinches nothing worth sharing.

1600-3200 see example https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-N...o/DSC_0015.JPG didnt bring any support as it was just supposed a short trip, had to head home for dinner. exif data incorrectly showing f4, should be 5.6 . Max auto iso set to 1600, 1/60s was far too slow for 440mm handheld shot. I guess I will miss having VR. Will be going down to bushy park on Saturday then Riat on Sunday.
Are you using the sigma 70-200 to shoot fast jets?
edit 2:
Just done some quick research on the sigma, very nearly as sharp and lacks weather sealing but its about £600 cheaper. Hopefully it will in bag by the end of this year. Currently priced at £627 from the same place I bought my 300mm versus £1220 for the nikon
