    Very nice ... what's the F-stop on your lens? ... just out of curiosity, how do you find the D200 working with fast-action sports ... I just got one a few weeks ago and it seems to be sluggish with basketball. Maybe it's just that the user is sluggish with basketball ;-)

    Anyways, keep up the good work ...

    thx AZ

    sigma 120-300 f2.8 HSM

    the d200 AF-s as fast as the lens can AF and works great...

    by slugish do you mean AF or FPS ?
    Thanks

    AF -- I'm using an older Nikon 80-200mm F2.8 ... just seems sluggish compared to when I use it with my D1-H, like it has a hard time locking on ... what I used to get sharp most of the time is more of a 50-50 thing ...

    thanks...

    i suspect the focus motor in the d1h is way faster than the one in the d200....i only shoot sports with AFS lenses and i'm guessing your 80-200 is not the afs version....my 70-200 vr afs lens is very fast on my d200
    Thanks

    I imagine that's the culprit -- had another frustrating night last night taking hoops pictures ... seems like I am always one piece of equipment away rolleyes1.gif

    i like my sigma 30 1.4 for baskeball and i stand under the basket...this lens is hsm so AF is very fast
    The 85 1.8 is also good for the low light but since it is not afs it AF-s slow
    Thanks
