Imagine approach to Heathrow aeroplane every 2 minutes but trying to acquire an image but last 40 seconds.

Is this type of activity possible handheld with this lens?
Personally, I could happily shoot from Hatton Cross for hours and get the majority, if not all, incoming aircraft with the 300/2.8 (though you'd want less than 300mm there

I still think your 200-400mm is the ideal lens for your own needs... but you'd look the part (or a part with a 300/2.8 + D2x aound your neck whilst operating the 200-400 with another D2x on a tripod
