Last weekend I went to an airshow and decided to shoot it lightweight this year. Normally, I would go with a D700 a 500mm F4P lens that I would shoot handheld. I was going to shoot with the Q and a Nikon 80-200 F2.8D but ended up going for even less weight by using a plastic Nikon 80-200 F/4-5.6 lens. Using a well dialed in red dot sight I just put the lens on infinity and turned off the rear LCD to just use the sight.
And just to keep things more interesting I was on a boat....
Here is the airfield shot using an iPhone 4s to give a sense of magnification.
Same thing but from the Q with the Nikon at 200mm. This is the full image, not a crop.
With the prop planes the non-global electronic shutter ended up resulting is some odd distortions. I couldn't shoot with slower shutter speeds (to blur the props completely) as I would get overall blurring due to the motions of the boat and the effective 1000mm FOV.
Most shot around RAW ISO 800 and F5.6 or F8 on the Nikon.
Of course the quality wasn't to the same level as if I had used my big rig but this fit into a tiny Domke F5XB bag!
