I shoot 99.9% of my pans in camera, and it is easier under most circumstances. And at the race track, it's really the only way. But as you said, the photographer and subject have to be in the right place at the right time. Another variable is the constant acceleration of a drag car.

Hi! So here is the list of some lenses that I thought about recently and the considerations that may prevent me from buying them. 1. SMCP DA* 16-50/2.8 - serious distortions at wide end, quality control issues still there 2. SMCP DA 17-70/4 SDM - some say it is a sibling of SMCP DA 10-17

Having owned both, I have to say that the DA 16-45 shows considerably more distortion at the wide end than the DA* 16-50, although both are good in this regard. From what I've seen both are far better in terms of wide end distortion than the DA 17-70, although they are a bit wider. Also

The irony, at least in Nikon's case is that there are exactly 2 Nikon primes that old (the 50/1.4 and 24/2.8) and one (the 50) has a replacement due to ship in the next couple of weeks. The 20/2.8 is a early 80's design, the 50/1.8 a late 70's, the 28/2.8 a mid-90's, the 35/2 a late 80's, the
