CONTRAILS - Shot with Sony Z750

[Doug Jensen]

I was out filming birds one day last week in Florida when I got side tracked shooting jets high in the sky at altitudes over 35,000 feet. I found it challenging to see how close I could zoom in, and how smoothly I could track the motion of the plane. Some of the shots have been further stabilized in Resolve.

Camera: Sony PXW-Z750
Lens: Fujinon UA24x7.8 w/2x extender
Tripod: OConnor 1040 head with Flowtech100 legs

pretty cool. nice operating!

is my math correct that your lens/extender and camera combo here zoom in to a 1460.16mm full frame-equivalent?

Thanks.

Yes your math is correct, with the extender engaged, 1400mm f/4 would roughly be the FF equivalent.
