Well one thing that I've truely learned from this site is that the skill of the photographer is far more important than the equipment he/she uses. But I don't think gear does play a bit of a role in 'keeper rate'.
I saw saw something like this on a.net; so I wondering what gear everyone here uses for aviation photography.

For me:

D300 + MB-D10 battery pack
Nikon 35mm F2
Nikon 50mm F1.8
Nikon 18-200mm VR
Nikon 70-300mm VR
Nikon 300mm F4 AF-S

What about you?

Hows that Nikkor 80-400 VR workin for you? I've been looking at the 80-400's at B and H, but it is just too bad they don't have af-s.
Whats your opinion of the lens?
