Currently a Canon 300D with the kit lens and the 75-300 USM IS.

What I’d like, well anything Canon 😀 Any of the 1D series I’d be scared of touching at those prices, maybe a D20.
Any Canon L series lens, perhaps the 17-40 L, 28-300mm IS would be good but expensive, I agree with Dan that even 75mm is too much at some places so the 100-400 L IS, well you need to pick your spot carefully.

I got my first two pictures on a.net with an IXUS400, digital compact. Love that camera still, as it circulates about the family. Also floating around the family is an old old (try 17-18 years) Minolta 7000S SLR with a Sigma 24mm lens and Minolta something-70 and 70-210mm, and a Canon IXUS II, APS.

No denying it, a DSLR and kit isn’t compact no matter how small they make it yet, and I admit I like the chunkiness of an SLR to hold, but it can be a pain in going some places and having to carry the bag around. I guess it depends on how serious your into or wanting to get into photography, it goes beyond aviation with me.

Thanks Grey, though I think with the extra I’d spend on the train and bus to and from, I might as well splash out the other £15 and go direct 😀

Thanks for the help though, may come in handy in future.

Thanks very much, have a spare Sunday this month at STN so at least I have an idea now.

Cheers!

Good pictures Mark,
Did you catch the CO @ BFS when you flew in?

Nice shots.
Any of these from today? I was listening to Scottish Rathlin East sector most of the afternoon and head Evergreen and Polar go in and out of PIK and 3 or 4 Globalspans coming and going.

Any personal preference skycruiser, as something you could end up flying in years to come if you stay with CX?

Best of luck with the exams Dan and to everyone else doing them at the minute!!

I’d love to go into ATC though we shall see what happens, usual route of trying to get into NATS and going through college at Bournemouth, aerodrome or area suits (providing I could get located at the forthcoming Prestwick centre) but preferably aerodrome.
