better sharpness on p100-400mm over 100-300mm mk2?

Thanks for that jaywol, will look into that

Tanks for the detailed response Astrotriper. I t=think some of the editing is down to my personal preference, i quite like the over saturated colours or making the photo look dramatic. but i will admit my pp skills definitely have a long way to go! i have only recently able to get access to photoshop.

As to your thoughts on the camera equipment that is very enlightening. maybe i should consider something from the apsc line of cameras? but the whole reason i went mirrorless in the first place bis because are there very good video capability, 2x crop factor therefore meaning that i can get a 600mm f5.6 lens at £379.

When using 100-300mm at the long end, use f7.1 or f8 to get maximum sharpness and resolution.

Your shots are at f5.6 despite the fact that you had enough light to go f7.1 or f8 without getting motion blur.

So, next time try f7.1 or f8. Anything above f8 is overkill and counterproductive.

And yes, 100-400 is sharper a little. Not in a different league, however. Just a little sharper.

I like what you say rashid7! its no how big it is its how you use it....some might say!. its absolutely true what you say though,you may have a nikon d850 with a 300 f2.8 but you technique might be crap which ends up in you getting rubbish photos!!

thanks for that Robiro wish i had known this before the airshow!

Hello everyone, just processed as load more of my photos from the airshow. I think the display team photos look a lot better because i wasn't zoomed all the way into 300mm tips and tricks for pp would be helpful :). Pleas note that i haven't actually edited all of these photos, just converted them from raw to jpeg.
