[QUOTE="trev864, post: 625175, member: 43555"] I recently bought the contemporary version of the Sigma 150 - 600 lens to use for airshows on my D7100 I have done a lot of airshow photography previously using my Nikon 70 - 300 with excellent results. I used the lens yesterday at an airshow for the first time and was very disappointed with the results. I shot handheld and on a monopod and the majority of my shots were blurred and out of focus, I used the same settings as normal on my camera (continuous autofocus, dynamic focus mode). Whether using a slower shutter speed e.g. 1/250 (to blur propellers) or a high shutter speed e.g. 1/1250, I struggled to get sharp shots. Could anyone advise please on the best lens settings for airshow photography. For both handheld use and use on a monopod? I suspect it's me! [/QUOTE]
