    RIAT (Fairford airshow) - What lens?

    If you're on a full frame sensor, then i'd say a 400mm or 500mm telephoto would be your best bet. It also depends where you stand... the nearer you get to the VIP/grandstand tents, the closer things will be... if you're out towards the ends of the runway... you'll be struggling even with the...
