After Olympus stopped making SLRs I started buying Canon because the were the best I could afford. I’ve never been disappointed and I still use Canon both for stills and video.

Who makes Sony lenses? Their video lenses are made by Zeiss and they’re definitely inferior to Canon lenses.

Sony’s top lenses are all Zeiss and are equal to if not better than any Canon offering. Their “G” Lenses were originally Minolta – the old ‘uns will fit all Sony’s cameras, although the latest ones are, I believe Sony’s. Bear in mind that Sony acquired the rights to Minolta so they draw heavily from their experience and expertise. The 70-400 “G” is recognised as being the best in class – probably.

And yes I do shoot Sony!

This has to be mine, a case of being in the right place at the right time. Fortunately the outcome, although resulting in injury to Mike, was not serious. If it had been the image would not have been chosen.

Perhaps a reminder to us all that airshows do not always go to plan and the risk has to be calculated, that is why the CAA take it so seriously.

I was late for the show on Saturday, along with many others judging by the traffic so I guess I saw more than those in the airfield. I must admit to missing the Frecce Tricolori, haven’t seen them for many a year, let’s keep fingers crossed for 2011.
