Originally posted by Paul the Sunman Nice ones peggers. Good shots of Bachar Houli. Instagram is not ideal for checking focus, but they look very acceptable. I must say I have found 200 mm a bit short on the K1 for football; I guess you must have been pretty close to the fence.
Yes Paul The Sunman, the 200mm is a bit on the short side, but as you may have found out at some point, 200mm is the largest lens you are allowed to take into the MCG, so there is an element of compromise. I was lucky enough to be on level 1, row T

I do a lot with my local team using a K5 and Sigma 150-500 HSM. AF on this is fairly slow and not as accurate as I would like having to cull many shots. However enough keepers to keep the boys happy.
Ah yes, the "bigma" I always wondered how good it would be for sports photography. Nice combo though, I still have my K5 and loved it

Originally posted by Medex IMO back button focusing do nothing better than shutter button focusing. You can programm your shutter button for release-priority focusing (then push the button and camera will shoot just after the focus is accuired), but back button does not work in such priority.
Anyway, backh button focusing is very good thing when you shoot static or almost static objects/subjecs - in this case you don't need to re-focus after every shot.
Good points. The way the back button focus benefit was explained to me was this: The shutter button has a lot of thinking to do when it is pressed, and the less things that it has to do, the better. By disabling the auto focus from the shutter button, it has less to think about and in theory auto focus will therefore be quicker. This may be true, but what I can say is that was no slower so worth persevering with.
