Yes, it's been edited. I think it needs some NR.

RE: New Lens For Aviation Photography

Hi Vik,

Good point. I'm leaning towards the 80-400mm, as that really suits my focal range.

Any thoughts? Maybe some third party lenses to consider?

Thanks,

New Lens For Aviation Photography

Hi All!

I'm currently using a Nikon 70-300mm VR (the new version). It's a decent lens, but anything past 200mm is soft. I'm considering upgrading to an 80-400mm or 70-200f4. Which one should I go for?

Thanks,

Calvin

RE: Len90: Pre/Post Screening All In One

Hi Len, I'd say that your "soft" sections in the image are around the nose and right hand winglet. Maybe your shutter speed was too slow? The right winglet looks like it's suffering from a very mild case of motion blur <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/smilies/win...
