Ted's right. There are many sports that I turn off the AF (when I use AF cameras) and some that I leave it on. Track and field often are good subjects for AF. Long jumpers and such who are coming at you. But not pole vaulters. MF is much better. Baseball? No AF for me. Football. Depends. Soccer, sometimes good, sometimes not. Depends on what you're shooting. Don't try it through a net. Life is not easy, neither is photography. AF and MF take experience to do it right. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Consciousness: that annoying time between naps
