[QUOTE="Shy Talk, post: 628993, member: 18388"] Well, Trev. It looks like it's ok optically, so I guess you are just going to have to learn how to use it. Using a 70-300 is just not the same as your new lens. Are you using back button focus? I find it essential for moving aircraft. Must say though, that I agree about your Gripen shot. Looks crummy. There's kinda a limit to what you can do though sometimes, my lens does well normally, but I shot at Miramar a while ago and my shots were all crap. It was just too hot! Theres days when you can shoot nicely at 300, but struggle at 600. Cant think what else to suggest other than to practice using your new lens. btw, if I remember right, Cosford is one of these shows where the light is wrong. That wouldn't have helped shooting that jet. It looks backlit. [/QUOTE]
