Aviation Photography Focal Lengths

[hyakuhei]

Hi All,

I have a Canon 300 F/4L arriving in the post tomorrow. (Thanks SportySnaps)

I'm hoping to use it for aviation photography around the machLoop and at airshows.

I'm looking at getting either a 1.4TC or a 2.0TC

I can't really afford the Canon MkII extenders so I was thinking about the Kenko Pro 3000 series - any thoughts or recommendations ?

Rob the 300mm will be fine for the loop, I never use more than 300mm there, some of my best pics are with a 150mm prime from CadWest.

Stick with the 1.4X TC, you lose AF and quality above that, with the F4 lens.

My avatar pic, is a un-cropped shot @ 150mm @CadWest

I've got the Kenko 1.4 Pro 3000 DG and it seems to work well on my 300 F4 (Nikon)
