Now these are my most recent photos up on airliners but as i have gone through the exifs for hundreds of shots with my Sigma 100-300 F4 i am noticing that very few are ever stabilized... and yes i've complained about this before but really whats the point of having a really fast focusing lens if the SR hasn't spooled up by the time the image is in focus... i know with all these photos SR was totally unnecessary but what about other times... maybe we should check back at some of our photos where we thought the camera AF system didn't get it right and see if the real culprit is the slow SR system... i'm not blaming it all the time but i'd sure like to see it spool up faster on the K30D

Thanks for looking

Amazing photos Mike - it would be interesting to know where you took the photos from - it seems like you were on the runway

Damn Mike, that is such a good lens. Obviously your technique really makes it fly (no pun)!!

Great stuff, no question.
