Hello Mriko,

For regular spotting at my home airport of KDFW, it is mixed - I do miss the DX range of my 70-200 when getting take off shots, but then the resolution and detail of 780 is amazing that after crop, lot of pics are still good. Landings are quite close to the plane spotting location and hence do not make a big difference. I believe the real loss of reach will be felt at air shows with fighter jets and smaller aircraft.

Regards,
Siddarth...
