If you shoot a plane in flight at an air show, can the manual focusing lens keep up?

Shooting a high-speed moving object is manual focusing ... but it's not about focusing on the object.

The specific steps are as follows:

First, predict the route of the plane. ..

Then, manually focus on the upcoming route of the aircraft in advance.

Finally, when the plane flies over the area you have focused on in advance, press the shutter and you can do it.

PS: If your hands are unstable, you'd better use a tripod .. Hehe.

Answer: First of all, don't be so superstitious about Zeiss. Zeiss's instruments are used at two levels: military and civilian. ...

Then there is the machine problem. In terms of performance, 40d is a little better than a700. What's more, what the landlord needs now is air show shooting, which is even more 40d, because 40d continuous shooting with 6.5 frames per second is the fastest in the mid-range SLR ... which helps you shoot high-speed objects.

Finally, the lens problem. Zeiss hasn't heard any news about this recently, so only insiders know whether it will be built ... but I can guarantee that even if it is built, the landlord wants to buy something better, and he will at least zoom in to 300 W and focus on 300 W. Is the landlord a full-time photographer? If not, there is absolutely no need to buy it ... Besides, this kind of lens, A700 can't play all the effects. If you want to exert all the effects, it must be the A900 ... (listed at the end of the year)

In contrast, Canon L-class lens is very real, and the effect will never be worse than Zeiss. I made an evaluation with my classmates. The evaluation is Zeiss 85 f 1.4 and Canon EF 85 f 1.2L II USM, with A700 and 40d .. This is a portrait. The effect is obvious. Canon won. The portrait taken by Canon is cut out ... The blur ability of the lens is terrible. So the 300-end lens, L-level lens, will not be worse than Zeiss, because don't forget that the strength of Canon lens is telephoto lens ... As long as more than 200 Canon lenses are used, you can look at their MTF curves ... You are sweating. ...
