good shots, what shutter speed, did you have.

a couple of the shots had a small amout of motion blur on the ball?

i find 1/500 or faster is about the minimum, what are your thoughts?

johng

Actually most were 1/400. However I bumped the dial at one point and shot half a quarter at 1/320. The mkIII doesn't have incremental steps above 3200 it just jumps to 6400. Since I shoot at f2.8 1/400 iso 3200 my only option would be to go to 6400. I prefer not to do that. And I love the flexibility of using a zoom rather than going back to a prime. So I agree 1/500 would have been better, I chose the blur as the lesser of 3 evils. But I could see others choosing one of the other 2 options and couldn't fault them for it.
