[QUOTE="EdgyPhoto, post: 7711, member: 2820"] I picked up an older Cosina 100-500 manual focus monster and love it for the miscellaneous tinkering. It's an old school tank. Got it for just under $100 with shipping so if it's anything in that range, I'd say definitely go for it. Many older lenses (cept maybe the really older AIS and the like) will still mount on today's Nikon bodies, you just have to manually focus obviously and also manually meter. For air shows, though, I really think a 120-600 is too much lens. I've shot several air shows using either my 70-200 or 70-300 (on a DX format D200 mind you) and the 70-300 has plenty of reach and sometimes actually not enough width for some aerial shots. Partly depends on where you locate yourself, and whether you're shooting DX or FX format. EricB [/QUOTE]
