I had to use my new Nikkor 135 mm f1.8 lens for this beautiful Baron. Paired with my newish Nikon Zf, it becomes an unbeatable setup. This is the Beechcraft Baron 58P featured on the cover and in this month’s article, “Remake of a Classic Baron.”
The f1.8 maximum aperture is unique for a long 135 mm prime lens. The photographer needs to get pretty far back, especially when shooting an airplane. For portraits, it’s fantastic.
