[QUOTE="Hiway, post: 371349, member: 20344"] I have had good results at air shows with a Sigma 50-500 with OS on a D7000. Since it is an FX lens the reach at the long end is very impressive. When zoomed out it will still allow wide enough shots to take pictures of the static display aircraft. For the concert it is too much. If you have to use it at both events maybe a 70-200 2.8 with a 2x converter for the air show. An FX lens on your D7000 will give you something like a 105-600 zoom range by swapping in and out the converter because of the DX crop factor. I see you want to bring a tripod to the air show. I don't think that would ever work for me. The movement is too fast and I think it would be very hard to track with the camera on a tripod. My Sigma gets heavy but it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
