My tips;
Get rid of the 2.0 converter and use max 1.4 :idea:
ISO @ 100
Underexpose at least one stop
Choose F/ 5.6 with these kind of photos
Switch IS on 2
Use something ( I use the roof from my van ) to lean on to hold your lens steady, aim / pan at the airplane at the same speed.
Shoot 20 shots from one plane and select the sharpest picture.

Hola NustR,

Using F/5.6 will not work when the is works on F6.7 at 400mm. And I do not think this lens operates whit IS. I agree to get rid of the 2x converter, but I do not think a 1,4x is a lot better whit this Voightlander... It's not the Canon 100-400 IS, but that one is not to good with the 1,4x either.


Grtz,

Marcel

In that case, get rid of all converters and crop in photoshop :mrgreen:
Even with the bloody sharp and good 500mm you loose a lot of quality with converters
I really thought it was the Canon mondaymornig zoom lens :drinking: :mrgreen:

Hi Nusty,

Next time i will use your tips as you mentioned above.
For the Air Berlin photo and the Beluga i used the fence in my garden but with the 2,0 extender.
Next time i won't use this anymore only the 400mm.
The United was the sharpest one, i made 12 pictures from the N120UA.
The Singapore T7 was hand made no fence or tripod.

Thanks for you tips.

Grt,
Michel

The C5 and the C-17's are awesome, I see them every day. Finally they're captured good! Because I'm not getting close with 270mm..
Are these guys heading for Germany, or are they on a more Middle-eastern route? Or is their destination unknown?

Regards,
Jeffrey.
