With the recent discussion in mind that the K10D AF isn't fast enough for football and American football as we call it in the Netherlands, I wanted to show a photograph I made of a hockeygame with my *istD on continues autofocus, using the FA 100-300 f4.5-5.6, a lens not well respected on this list. This sport is at least as fast as the other ones mentioned, but there are not many photos that go wrong on focus with this combo as long as there is enough light. Take a look at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~wuthrich/foto/IMGP4879.jpg It is a matter of following the action with the shutter halfway down till you reach the decisive moment. I leave choosing the autofocus point up to the camera.
I wonder what my K10D will do for me in this area. It was sent to me on 22 Dec from TeKaDe in Germany, it didn't arrive yet, can be any moment now. I need to start saving for the 60-250 lens. -- Frits Wüthrich -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
