Not the best quality of shot but I thought you guys might be interested to see what I caught (purely by chance) flying over the airspace over EGNT.

Wow, nice! It's a shame you need a camera to sometimes identify aircraft that are flying so high, but when you catch things like this, it's worth having one with you!

I use a Canon EOS10d. That shot was taken with a Canon 300m F4 L IS plus two 1.4x converters attached which basically make it a 840mm f6.7 (not taking digital conversion into account) . The shot has been cropped a bit but nothing too extreme.

Very nice! Love that composition!

Sensor crop would make it 1,344mm then... Very nice.

Now get a 600mm lens, like a 600mm f4 L IS USM, to go with that setup and you could have 2,688mm at f8 Grin

You could count the rivets with that but you'd need around $7,200 USD for that (I'm not sure what a 600mm L will cost in the UK).

You gotta love super telephoto lenses eh F3Hadlow?

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

You certainly have

I have only been using one for a month or so but already I can see why they are the best. Glad you liked the shot as much as I enjoyed taking it Grin
