A rather dismal afternoon with terrible light a lot of the time alternating with showers. The reds were on last and had to abort after the low level part of their display. A lot of the planes performed well offshore and I found myself using either the 70-200 with 2XTC which often wasn't enough or the 300/2.8 with 2XTC. This was the new 2TCIII which isnt supposed to degrade the image significantly but I'm not too sure about that. For you buffs out there would I have been better using the cropped D300 for extra reach as I used the D700 full frame which effectively shortened everything. I dont know which is the better option but I kept the D300 in the bag, possibly wrongly. Kev if you're out there, my 300 with 2TCIII wasnt on a par with yours but mind you, to get the shutter speed for jets, I had to crank the ISO up to 1000 and thought the D700 would have suffered less noise than the D300. Comments appreciated. A selection pics enclosed. merv
