Hey fellow spotters, I'm planning a trip to JFK (IATA: JFK) and want to capture some great shots of the aircraft there. I've been using a Canon EOS R5 and I'm considering investing in a new lens to get those crisp, close-up shots while maintaining versatility. I'm torn between the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM and the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM.
I've heard the 100-500mm is great for the extra reach, especially at an airport like JFK with its long runways, but the 70-200mm has that faster aperture which could be beneficial for lower light conditions or when the weather is less than ideal.
Has anyone used these lenses at JFK or similar locations? What do you recommend for balancing reach with image quality? Also, any tips for shooting at JFK would be greatly appreciated, especially for runway 13R/31L. Looking forward to your thoughts and any sample shots you might have!
