I'm planning to use 70-200 for the airshows too, coupled with a 1.7x or 2x teleconverter. In broad daylight should be okay even if I'm getting f/5.6...

imo. 70-300 VRii probably will be a better choice.
The lens is lighter and all the time when the aircraft is flying, you will be pointing the camera up at it. Depending on where you stand. You will want to have a choice of shooting wide enough for smoke trails and long enough for nice close up. Like you said, it is broad day light. fstop and shutterspeed wouldn't be a concern. The main concern is getting ready and anticipating the shots for the best composition.

ZCA kEVIN,,, U left out of the BMW list... sad.... very sad now...

Bro, I'm so sorry :embrass:
Eh how come you weren't in my original list?? :dunno:
I didn't remove you. Simply added OGL, pasay, chilicrab.

Today will be at Starhub Centre for class, whole day. Probably no Internet access :cry:, though I'll bring my laptop.

Perhaps during lunch break

Macro fitting har... :think: You can try reverse mount the 300mm f/4...

this is fierce.. lol~ :sweat:

Raynox 250 is this piece of glass that you can attach in front of your lens. Allows for much bigger magnification, but reduces working distance considerably. Must check if its compatible with your lens though, as on certain lenses it may have severe vignetting. Exp, on the 18-105 kit lens unless you zoom in all the way, vignetting is very obvious.



I would think so, have only tried on my kit lens and 50mm though.



yeah it is, it reduces the minimum focusing distance so that you can go closer to the subject.



There are close up filters, but those seem quite expensive. During 1 of my macro outings, 1 of the guy said he paid almost 200 bucks for it.
Alternative methods are reverse mounting your lens, but for reverse mount, the smaller the focal length, the bigger the magnification, so 300 f/4 is outta the question :bsmilie:
If you are really into macro, nth beats a dedicated macro lens haha

thanks for all your responds to my queries.. helped alot.. cos am not sure if wanna go into macro.. just wanna try out first before committing to it.. when jumping into macro.. i believe i need more than just a dedicated macro lens.. :devil:

 

[pasay]

I agree with your point. But the reason why I've chosen 70-200 isn't strictly for shooting aircraft, though that's just one of the shooting options I've in mind. I need a good low-light zoom because I'll be needing it indoors and night shoots as well. Getting the 70-300 isn't going to cut it, plus low-lights I'll suffer. It's supposed to be my do-it-all wonder lens... If I get the 70-300, you're going to make me gian the 70-200 when low-light need arises... lolz

you can get it from Funan . . . get a Hoya, recommended . . . and a 77mm will be advisable.

(i have one in my bag but not Hoya)

ZCA, BMW outing, what time u guys meeting ar...??

Bro, just to double check, you have registered already right?

Have you tried it yet? I've been wondering if I should get the 100mm slot in type... but peeps say you have to expose the sensor for a prolonged period of time... :sweat: which might result in sensor fry.... The advice by most is to get a IR-converted DSLR..a cheapo second hand D70...
