Last air show I shot at I had a 70- 210mm Zoom and carried a vivitar 2x
macro focusing extender, just in case. For a number of shots that
combination wasn't long enough.I kept wishing I'd brought my 300mm,
(and it still wouldn't have been long enough). On the other hand you
will also find yourself wishing for a wider lens say 35mm maybe even a
28 or 24mm as well.

I'm sure my ME Super will be perfect for this job (even with it's

Btw: what do you think about Takumar 200mm f/5.6?
I think the split-screen is bad enough with a long lens; if you also
do stop-down metering it could be very difficult.
I doubt 200 will be long enough, but I haven't done airshows, so...
