New camera! Lens questions...

Thanks for the inputs. I currently have:

Minolta 35-105 f3.5-4.5
ProSpec 28-70 f3.5-4.5
ProSpec 75-300 f4.5-5.6

He's now given them to me officially, which takes some pressure off
replacing them and returning them to him.

So looks like a 70-200 something in a quality lens would probably be the
first one to buy, and that's helpful.

Generally, looking at airshow type shots, both static displays and
flybys. Here at the Grass Valley airport, one cannot get too close to
the runway along which most flybys occur, but one can get fairly close
to the taxiway. And in the static displays, close enough to touch for
the most part.

I do understand the cost/quality issue. It's not that I am a cheap
tightwad, but probably not going to be buying $1000 lenses anytime soon
unless I find a screaming deal on a CZ 16-35... I'm moving to Australia
next year and struggling to come up with the $20k it'll take to move my
machine shop and pay immigration fees. But stuff like this is cheaper to
buy and have shipped here, so want to get a good basic kit together
before I move.
