Re: Spotting at Brize?
If they're using 26, the best place to park is opposite the industrial estate road. There's a field entrance with plenty of space for about 6 cars just inside the field. The farmer is quite happy for cars to be parked there, providing you park sensibly. I've parked there many times and have never ha...

Re: Departures day
Only the VERY short would need a ladder at P+V West as this image from 2010 shows. I suspect that you'll be fine without.

Re: AI Servo sensitivity settings.
If you're referring to C.Fn III - 1 AI Servo Tracking Sensitivity, then it won't have any effect on how quickly you achieve focus. The function governs how sensitive the focus is to being 'misled' by obstructions or other items within the field of view. For example; you're tracking an aircraft in fl...

Re: Non OEM batteries
I've used a mixture of Hahnel and 7dayshop batteries in my 1D Mk2n and 7D and cannot fault them. The 7dayshop ones, particularly, seem to outlast the OEM Canon units.
Highly recommended.

Re: Tristar Retirement?
Is it worth a drive from Manchester to Brize Norton in the next six weeks if I ever want to see one airborne again? Is there a good chance I'll see them active on almost any day? I'm terrified of making the long journey to any RAF base and seeing nothing move but a windsock. It does sound like the ...

Re: What is your f and point?
If I'm spot metering, I'll use the centre focussing point only (It's the only one that does the spot metering on a 7D), otherwise I tend to use the one either side of centre to focus on the area between the nose of the subject and it's mid-point. Doing it this way seems to pretty much do away with D...
