[QUOTE="J-see, post: 423167, member: 31330"] I'm having the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 and when comparing numbers, she does slightly better than the Nikon, especially wide open and costs a whole lot less. And on top you got a decent warranty. I'm only shooting her a couple of days but directly noticed it's a very fast lens to focus which makes it a joy but if 200mm is long enough for airshows I couldn't say. I know for birding she's too short. Oh, just read you said renting. ;) Then it matters less. They're fast to focus and mine is very sharp on my D750 (even at 100%) but you need a whole lot of subject to fill the frame. It'll depend how close you can shoot. Last time I was on an airshow I was wearing short pants. [/QUOTE]
