Longest lens you can get/afford. For propellor-driven aeroplanes, use 1/125 second and adjust aperture. Use up to +2 exposure compensation, depending on the sky. Monopod is useful, unless you luck into a 600/4, in which case a Sachtler tripod with fluid head is useful to have around. http://www.cottysnaps.com/snaps/pdml/index.html It's a good learning curve to get your head around. mike ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/
