Lens Choice for Spotting at Los Angeles Van Nuys (VNY)?

Hey folks, I'm planning a trip to Van Nuys Airport (VNY) soon and I'm trying to decide on the best lens to bring. I have a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 and a Sigma 150-600mm. Not sure if the longer reach is necessary or if the 70-200mm would be better for flexibility since VNY has some great close-up spots.

Has anyone shot there before? I've read that there are some great spots near the runways but not sure about the distance from the action. Do you think the 600mm would be overkill? Or maybe I should stick with the 70-200mm for more versatility and lighter weight?

Any advice from those who've been there would be super helpful. Also, if you have any tips on good spots or times of day to catch some interesting traffic, I'm all ears. Thanks!

I've been to VNY a few times. It's a cool spot! If you're planning to hang around the spectator area or near the runway, the 70-200mm should work just fine for most shots. But the 150-600mm could be handy if you're chasing bizjets or want to catch something further away, especially if you're not moving around a lot. I'd probably bring both if you don't mind the extra weight. Morning and late afternoon are usually the best for lighting, but check the traffic beforehand. Enjoy your trip!
