Very nicely captured, John. I have used a 135 for this, and it may be a
better choice than the 200. I had a hard time tracking them with the
200. I was hoping the larger image would be worth the trouble.

Here is a colourful ride :

Taken at Royal Roads Military College, Victoria, BC in the summer of 1994
Taken with a bug-eyes 135 / 2.8 on an M5.
Each rider baled out at high altitude, did some twists, turns and tumbles on
the way down, got co-ordinated as seen. Six feet hit the ground at exactly the
same moment all within a ten foot square piece of parade ground.Quite amazing.

On a nice, sunny Saturday afternoon, there are a lot of things going on
at the airport. Despite what the EXIF data may say, these were shot
with a 200 mm Pentax Takumar, set up to see how it would work from a
distance on my monopod.
After hauling two loads of jumpers to jump altitude, normally around
14,000 ft, the Twin Otter was ready for some fuel. The Saturday crew
responded, using the Jet-A truck.

I had difficulty keeping the jumpers in the frame, but got reasonable
detail. They move faster than one thinks when watching from a distance.

The foreshortening caused by the long lens makes them appear a lot
closer together than they were in reality.
