I used a Leica-R 250/4 for reach, to get a decently sized image. To work with such a FL, one normally wants a shutter speed of 1/250 or higher. But, to keep from stopping the propeller, the shutter speed needs to be below 1/250. This one was shot at 1/4000 before I realized that I needed to compromise for prop blur. Such is the dilemma............. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Staggerwing+Departure.jpg.html Good luck!
