I got a broken D70 for free and flashed the new firmware and it works like a dream, haha.

During the day... 210mm at f/5.6 and ISO 100... should get you a shutter speed of like 1/200-1/400... enough to freeze the plane pretty sharp if you follow it with an AF point. I can get those shutter speeds at 300mm f/6.3 at ISO 100...

You could get a 200L prime... you'll get a nice aperture of 2.8 with that... good enough for almost 2 stops more light and a shutter of 1/800 or more

Dunno how much it is, probably bank though. Could also pick up a used 70-200L f/4 for $750 or so. Depends on what breaking the banks is... more light at longer focal lengths = $$$

It was windy as hell out today... even the tripod didn't help.... couldn't get the damn backpack to hang on it to weigh it down either... got some great shots though.... about 4.6GB worth

Some ducks, MPLS skyline, awesome cars driving through the rich part of town (LAke Calhoun, GT-R)

Okay I lie, they're not that good. I shot most of them with the Tamron and lens is just failing the crap out of me right now. Looks like the 70-200L will be my next photography purchase.
