Thomas,
The 300/4.5 is a fine air show lens. If you can't pack a tripod, try a
monopod. It will really make a difference. Chris Barker gets a commision
on all Camcanes (tm) sold to List members, BTW. ;-)
If there are any performances by propeller-driven aircraft, try some slow
exposures (1/125) while panning to get more natural-looking (to the eye)
propeller blurs. Shoot some fast, too, to be sure of getting some sharp
airframe images. Jets are easy - just bang away at 1/1000 or 1/2000.
Should be great fun. We're not allowed to go to Paris ;-) but I'll be at
Duxford next month.

Guys,
This week, the Paris Air Show is happening at Le Bourget Airport near
Paris. It is usually an amazing mixture of current, past and future
