    Neat shot, I'm guessing there is an external pod on the port wing?
    Equipment: Canon 40D and Powershot SD750. Lenses: 18-55mm, 28-135mm and 70-300mm.

    Thanks!

    Nope - hand-held it. :)

    We have three camera ports, one on each rear-most window and one in the floor. The camera body was just barely out to get that.

    Great shot! I wish I flew more.

    Looks like the D200 and the Tokina 12-24 make a very sharp combo. I might put that on my lens list for my D200 as well.

    I really sweated out deciding between that and the Sigma 10-20. I felt that the Tokina was sharper, so I went with it. Unfortunately a common problem is some pretty significant CA/Fringing in high-contrast areas with the Tokina. For the most part it isn't a big problem, and Nikon NX2 (if you use it) takes it all out.

    In retrospect the 10mm would have been really cool for things like this image, but I don't have any regrets.
