I stand corrected on the k10 John Thanks. That was 4 camera's back for me I remember now I kept forgetting to switch it on at the best of times.

I've just read Tony Shaps article on shooting at a airshow and I can't agree with most of it.
In the first place he recomends setting the shutter speed to 1/4000sec to freeze the propellor, many a good photo has been spoilt by having the props static on a aircraft in flight, anyway how often can you use 1/4000sec in the uk.
He then goes on to say the best view of an aircraft is head on, check out the aviation sites not many are head on. An 18-200mm lens maybe all right on the side of the runway when they are landing, but here on the west coast the air shows are over water and you need a lens longer than 200mm.
Finally after reading many articles on useing SR when panning I think the jury is still out on that one. Myself I don't use sr at air shows
and some of my best shots of aircraft were taken with the K10 which as you know is without SR.

I didn't take much notice of the people.
