Hello!
Next month I will have the chance to take some photos at the Red Bull Air Race event (the photos will be just for my own enjoyment and skill development).
I have a bit of a dilemma though when it comes to what lens setup to use and would appreciate advice from someone with expirience.
My longest lens is the Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VRI (on a cropped format sensor) but I am not quite sure if it'll be long enough?
I looked into borowing a teleconverter, but: 1.) They are hard to find & 2.) I heard the optical quality is quite poor and I might achieve the same thing by cropping the shot. (I might have a Nikon D7100 available which has plenty of pixels)
In the air race planes are flying extremely low and quite close to the croud - what do you think? Should I try to get a teleconverter or will 200mm get me close enough?
Thanks!
