Lovely set there, if you don't mind me asking what camera and lens?

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated. There's another 200+ shots from this show on my site now!

Lovely set there, if you don't mind me asking what camera and lens?

It was a Canon 1DX and a Canon EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x.

I hired the lens for the show, but have to admit I was so impressed I purchased one over the winter. I loved the flexibility & image quality but the trade off is its weight, its tough to hand hold all day. Tried a Wimberley head at the Abingdon show last week but struggled with panning and reverted to hand holding yesterday at Shuttleworth. I've made the decision I will now be selling my 300mm f/2.8 IS and 1.4x & 2x teleconverters which have been my airshow setup for the last decade. Will be sad to see them go, but I can't justify keeping them.

Great set of photos! I live 10 miles from Duxford and have never been to an Airshow . Missed the one yesterday, hopefully they'll be some photos on here as it was good weather for it.
