And as was mentioned many of the good shooters still MF their sports stuff. You do it enough you get better than most of the AF machines. I covered NFL football - up to and including the Super Bowl, NASCAR, Major league baseball - up to and including the World Series, NBA Basketball and NCAA basketball and baseball and many other sporting events all using MF lenses. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
