Hi Fred: when I first got the ist D the best subjects I could find were my daughter's synchronized Skating team. I have photographed them for many years with fast print film but the number of shots I needed to take just to get one good one drove my wife crazy when the bills for the prints came in. The digital really allowed me to go crazy. I was finally able to put the camera on continuous autofocus and snap away. It still takes a lot of shots to get one good one but at least they're free. The problem, of course, comes when you have to edit them..... I spend a fair bit of time in front of the computer.... One of the other real benefits is that I am now using more of my large collection of lenses. When I go to a practise or a competition, I try to take different lenses each time to try them out... So far my favourites are the old 200f2.5 and Tokina ATX 28-70. On the weekend I used my 85 F2 for most of the team's Christmas Party pics and I was very happy with the results.... Vic
