Aha! A meaty thread! (grinning wide like Worf dreaming of battle) Well, I haven't shot stills at an airshow before, so I was wondering what to bring. However, having said that, because there will be a gathering of PDMLers, I was gonna sorta bring everything. That way, folk who've never seen or used what I have could get a chance to play. I'm still hopeful that John Dickins will provide some lenses (at least) and that's reminded me that I must get in touch again and pin him down. For an airshow though, I would have thought it's mostly telephoto work? I suppose a wide angle would be useful on some of the static displays. And IMO fill-in flash would be essential in a cockpit with a sunny day outside (ha!) and so I'll birng the modified AF280T for some pubic scrutiny. Actually thinking about it, I'm getting some good ideas of what I'd like to shoot. Bearing in mind this airshow will feature planes of WWII vintage, the largest bird there is likely to be a Lancaster? It would be nice to catch a row of formated Spits in the distance turning, sunlight glinting of the canopies... Anyway, my list will be: LX+drive MX+winder Leica CL + 40 f/2 A*85 1.4 Tok 17 3.5 Tok 28-70 2.8 Sig 70-200 2.8 Tok 300 2.8 Tok 500 f/8 mirror (which will be for sale - price TBA with 10pc discount at show!) AF280T (modified for fill-in) Superia 200 Delta 400 + 100 Polarising filters LowePro pack Monopod Oh yeah, nearly forgot: a working pre-production 6MP full frame Pentax DSLR... ;-) Cotty _______________________________________________________ Personal email traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacAds traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out the UK Macintosh ads http://www.macads.co.uk - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
