It would have been all the more noticeable with a wider aperture. I find the autofocus point choice of the cameras I have used only to be OK for slow zooms where the depth of field covers a multitude of errors. I find that in order to get the part of my subject in focus that -I- choose I need to define the focus point and focus lock or use manual focus. The motor racing pros I know usually do not use autofocus either for the same reason. Has anybody on the list found a trick for using autofocus effectively for long and/or fast lenses?
