I just purchased an Olympus E-510 DSLR. What lense are most of you using
for airshow photography? Fixed focus or zoom?
Handheld or tripod mounted?

Hi,

how about a 500mm F/5,6 Maksutov Cassegrain (MTO 500, NOT the MTO 500S),
need an M42 Adapter and its only Manual Focus, but its quite small.

Or try the famous MTO1000 (1000mm F/10 Maksutov Cassegrain) if u need
that much focal length.

As far as i know the E-510 has a crop Factor of 2 which would make a
1000mm of MTO500 and a 2000mm for the MTO 1000.

Btw theres a M42 - Eyepiece adapter for the MTO1000 which makes a
Telescope out of the MTO 1000.

Jens
