Nikon D40X questions?

[Nick]

I just bought a Nikon D40X duty free haven't looked at it fully i pick it up when i come back. My question does anyone own or have any experience with this camera an if so what size lense would you suggest? I am mostly photographing aircraft so yeah.

 

Any help is appreciated :D

Hi Nick,

 

The better quality you can afford the better. IS (image stability) is very desirable to help avoid camera shake. Quality does rule Nick. Size? 300mm is the real minimum. 400mm is that much better for those long shots. It does depend on where you plan to take those shots. Don't forget about a short focal length for use at airports (eg under the landing path).

 

Start saving those thouands$$$ now ;)

Thanks avi for telling us about the V thing, i think i will pick up a 300mm and sumthing bigger because i do want those long shots up high :D
