I'll try to keep this concise. I went to the NY air show Saturday and took some pictures. I'm sorry this doesn't have exif (I did some shadows adjustment in PS and saved it without exif, accidentally). Here's a picture taken with this "basic" Sony 55-210 lens, stabilization 'on', shutter priority and manual focus.

You guys tell me but I don't think it's a horrible picture. I could have lowered the shutter speed to get more realism on the P-51 propeller - but this was hand held so I was cheating a little to maintain focus.
I'd love to get a longer (but excellent quality) lens for this camera, but Sony doesn't make it easy to go beyond 210mm.
I found this pretty expensive lens. But I honestly don't understand (a) if my pictures would necessarily come out any better or (b) given the camera is not FF, if this lens is actually longer or shorter than the "cheap" lens I'm using now, or (c) why this lens is over 4x the price of the other lens.
Any thoughts, advice, admonishment, etc. would be very appreciated!
