I hand hold mine but try to keep above 1/500th. Very seldom do I have any problems with focus. Really an excellent lens.

Having had things go wrong both with SRS and Park purchases, my personal experience is that there is no comparison between them. When an order from SRS was mislaid by their courier, Chris was straight on the case, problem sorted and the next purchase cost a little less than I expected.
OTOH, when a member of Park's staff made a mistake, I pointed it out to him, but he insisted it was right. When I involved their management, their tactic was to prevaricate and procrastinate until it was too late. As a result, my K20 may have no warranty.
With the best will in the world things go wrong from time to time. I't what happens when it does that counts.

Faced with that dilemma, ALWAYS cut the engines off. You will last a lot longer than you would without the tailplane. [quote:3496ace15f="Pwynnej"]It was either cut off the engines or cut more off the tail.

I'm getting about 5 down and 0.4 up at the moment. That is Virgin nominally 8Mb/s. I have noticed it sags a bit between 4pm and 9pm.
Not noticed much problem with the speed on this site.

So have you achieved some degree of success by applying the method you are stating above? Do you get it spot on that way?
I have tried activating the MF on the lens and then trying to focus manually by keeping the shutter releas button pressed and when the subject is in focus the shutter releases but I find that the images do not come really well focused. But I didn't try it a lot, so might even be that it was just sake of the camera.
Would love to find a method that would help me capture moving subjects actually.
It works some but not all of the time Amin.Oggy wrote:

Oggy, that's quite interesting what you are just saying. I would like to adopt a method that would allow me to do that also, knowing that its hard to lock into the AF with moving objects I have tried a few methods but none worked successfully.I am still learning how to take pictures of aircraft in flight. I have been practising on seagulls I have found I get the best results by using a full press on the shutter release so as soon as the subject is in focus the picture is taken.

Focal length x 1.5 and then multiply by 1.5 again.
Would that not boil down to "multiply by 2.25"?Focal length x 1.5 and then multiply by 1.5 again.
