I'll try it out again in full sun when I get the opportunity, but I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. My usual lens for aircraft is the 80-200 f2.8, but I occasionally need a bit more reach over 200mm for smaller aircraft - but not often enough to justify a 80-400 or 200-500.You do get what you pay for and this is without question a cheap lens - though you do get the bonus of surprisingly sharp images.It's not a 70-200 f2.8 or a 70-200 f4, and isn't meant to be an alternative to those lenses. For me it's an inexpensive way to get between 200mm and 300mm once in a while.</blockquote>
