Manual focus is great for high speed objects if you can pick the point of shutter release prior to the shot. I used it for many years shooting dragsters at 200 mph and other motorsports as well. If the path of the speeding object can be predicted, manual is a lock. Paul On Oct 16, 2007, at 8:49 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote:
