Nikon D300,today the old man was kind enough to let me loose with his Sigma 50-500mm (he also has a D300)

I had the 10-20mm with me hoping to get some interior shots but the weather was closing in,so the lads fueled up and buggered off home fairly lively

Umm, I don't understand. Is it something to do with how the Sigma lens interacts with the Nikon? Not to detract from the shots, which are lovely (I especially love the heat haze in the downdraft from the Sikorsky in the second shot, it's awesome) I know that if I had a 1500 euro camera with the same again worth of a lens stuck to the front of it, I'd damned well be expecting decent shots at least most of the time!

They are crystal clear, well worthy of Airliners.net

I have said it before and il say it again the S-92 is one ugly looking bird, S-16N is a beauty.
