Sometimes a machine gun really is the right tool. If I'm shooting Le Mans Prototype cars coming three abreast into turn ten at Road Atlanta, braking from almost 200 mph down to about 60 mph, in one or two hundred meters, and something goes wrong, there are several good shots in there. I might not just press the shutter release and hold it, but I'm going to be clicking away like mad as the situation develops. In incidents that take a while (fifteen to twenty seconds) to play out, I've been known to shoot the best part of a 24 exposure roll, even without the press-and-hold style. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
