It's easy to get the shots you expect with manual focus, but, without AF, it's very difficult to get the shot when the unexpected happens. So for me it tends to depend on exactly where I am around the track, and whether I've got enough light to have "useful amounts" of DoF at the "primary" focal distance. The up side, and the down side, is that I'm often panning through large angles to follow the action, which introduces it's own "barrel of focus" effects. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
