While out in my yard today photographing my wifes car (nothing else to do)with my 75-200mm astron 4.5 macro, this plane happened to come along,as I live close to a Airport there is a lot of small Air-craft flying about,but this is the first time I have seen any of this sort.
This lens looks a bit soft to me what is you oppinion.thanking you

I believe this is a 'Grumman F4 Wildcat' Flew mainly from carriers.

Great shot.

And the second shot is a toyota but I cant tell which model

Actually, they do look a little soft, there are any number of reason for the aircraft but assuming the car was stationary very few reasons for that.

I'd get the camera on a tripod and do some tests, try auto focus and then try it manually, the car badge should be a good subject for this, compare the results agianst other lenses too.

Thank you for that information paul glad you like it,as for the lens I forgot to say it had a 2x on it, I have been told it might jam on the K7 so I put the 2x on just in case,
Yes the Toyota was stationary cheaper to run and get a better shot that way ,
Tried about five shots on it and that was the best, when looking through the lens slightly out of focus it looks spotty (very fine spots not dust it is regularly spaced)
thank you for the reply
