or google "panning"


I would go for the 100-400 mainly because of it's versatility and IS mode 2. Your tripod will be an excellent IS mode 2 as well []Your own 70-200 might do the trick, but I doubt it that you can be close enough to frame it nicely. You don't want to crop away 75% :P


Good luck! And maybe show us some results later on??[]

I turn it off because shooting fast action sport you need fast initial AF aquisition. With IS on it will slow down the initial AF aquisition. You may not notice this on high end bodies, but you will on the XT.

Alright Nate, thanks for the heads up!
