Hmmm, I was reading about taking pictures from planes and most recommended a
300mm lens.. crab the plane to get the wing up out of the way for photos, but you don't have much left rudder available. Plan on no more than half an hour of shooting before your left leg gives out. I would avoid using lens larger than about 100mm unless you have one of those gyroscopically stabilized units. Real good idea! I would recommend using a good camera strap, just in case. |

While the focal length is desireable, it's difficult to hold a lens that large steady in something like a 150. If you opt for the longer lenses, I would also opt for 400 ASA film and use a fast shutter speed.
