Just got my lens sorted for the RIAT airshow, EF 300 f/2.8 IS with 2x and 1.4x converters via lensesforhire.co.uk (Stuart R. is extremely helpfull btw).

I chickened out on the 500, even though it would probably have been better for the reach on a FF... I just don't fancy walking around with it at RIAT, the weight isn't too bad but maybe a bit much for all day and the length probably more of an issue with crowds.

Anyway, I've got 300/420/600 covered, plus my 24-70 and 70-200. Should be fun:)

EOS 6D, 135L, 24-105L, Mamiya RZ67pro2 and lenses :cool:

Gah. I'd love to go to an airshow.

We have the golden oldies over this weekend. All 6 of our parents meeting for the first time.

I think I might need to leave the house...

RIAT does look really tempting and renting a larger lens. *tempted*

I think Muscleflex is going, Wazza might go but I don't think he's confirmed it yet....

I can only imagine that it's going to be an awsome day out, I hope more POTN'ers will go... would be cool to meet up at an event like that. I have my ticket already for either sat or sun. and can be a taxi for up to 3 others if it's easier.

I'm going on the Sunday :) I would hire a longer lens from Stuart, but I only get back from a weeks holiday in Norway with my family on the Saturday, so have no chance to pick one up from him :( Bummer, would have liked to hire a 100-400 .... Don't suppose any of you guys could hire one on my behalf could you?

Cheers,


David :)

Sunday sounds good, could roadtrip or taxi with others. I could make a trip to Maidenhead the day before and pick one up for you.

Not 100% sure if I am going out yet.

That would be awesome if you could mate :) :) I think I might then keep the 100-400 for a week as I'm planning to go to Farnborough the next weekend too! :D

Let me know your plans closer to the time and I could drop Stuart a line to explain the situation :)

Cheers!

Hey so are people planning to go on the Sunday? I'm tempted as I'll have the 300mm with me. I wouldn't mind doing the lift sharing if people are offering - can split the fuel.

Various gear
...and most importantly my left eye!

You could mail Stuart and request to pick up the lens on the way to Fairford, he offered that to me (even when I said at 5am!) but I'll be picking my lens up on the Friday now.

I have an open ticket for sat or sun. car and fuel sharing is the way to go;) like I said somewhere else, I have a focus and can hold 3 others.... I live in Bexleyheath... a short way from Warren.

Wokingham, Berkshire - so quite a way from you.

Well, 32 mins drive apparently.

PM me if you'd like to borrow it over the weekend.
