Looking forward to seeing your images with your new glass! The 70-200mm is some sweet glass, and works well with a 1.4x teleconverter also if you need a little extra reach.
Thanks Mark - I was thinking about one of those 1.4x converters...good to know it works nicely..
I use that combo and love it...did you get the MKII? Congrats on the new glass! You're gonna love it.
It's the Tamron SP AF70-200mm F/2.8Di/LD Macro - from what I've seen of the shots I took today - I'm super impressed already!!!
has the lens helped the traffic at all? =P
@Mike - LOL - somewhat....
There were some interesting movements though - the first being this Australian Global Express

This B6 Captain seemed very happy - I'm sitting on the top of my car with my camera in my hand taking a shot or two - I put the camera down - he stops on taxiway Charlie - puts his hands up to the window and mimics a camera - I pick the camera up - he waves. After a couple of shots - I put the camera down - he carries on the taxi! If anyone knows who was the Captain of B6 310 on 12/30 - have him contact me - I'll gladly send him some shots of the aircraft!!!

Ohhhhh...did I mention it was a perfect FLL winter day????
Nice Mark! Can't get used to seeing the words "United" on CO aircraft tho.
Very nice collection of KFLL traffic Mark. The Global Express is one of the nicest GA aircraft gracing the skies.
Couldn't agree with you more Luke! I love the Global Express - and - their performance on the runway - this was fully loaded from what I heard - heading a long way - and - still only used around 3,500' of runway...Quote:
