Hi Guys,
I'm going to the local airshow this weekend and want to go as light as possible. My long lens are the 70-200L F4 IS, or the older 70-300 IS. Which one would you take? I like both, and would take the 70-200 because of speed, but I worry about the 1500 ft. buffer for the military planes. Will that 100mm difference be worth leaving the 200 at home? I'll also have my 17-55 for the closer shots which is also a heavy lens. The way show center is set up, I'll be shooting into the suny side by the time the T-birds fly, so I'll have to overexpose the sky a bit to get those white aircraft. :confused:
Thanks for any help in advance :D Spook
