Re: Which lens for air shows with E-M1 II

I would go with the 100-400mm. The 40-150 with the teleconverter provide for only 210mm and you get 4x the overall image size with the 100-400mm at 400mm.

Some options to consider is wearing a jacket with big pockets for a second lens or having a companion carry the second lens. I love the Domke photographer's jacket as I can put a camera, 3-4 lenses, and a flash and not look all that abnormal - unlike using a vest. The British game jackets with their large pockets for shotgun shells are also excellent for this use.
