Rich, thanks for the info. Actually, I am getting better at tracking the action with the 500---but it really needs to be beyond the 50 yard line for whole body shots---( I have been shooting from the end zone and beyond when there is enough room). I also noticed that it is a lot easier to get full body shots of little kids than it is high school kids. My keeper rate was decreased because I was chopping off a lot of legs and heads when shooting the high school game. I do have a championship youth game to shoot this afternoon, but it will be at 4:00 pm so I should have decent light for that one. It will also be on one of our city high school fields that has better lighting and I can shoot from the track around the field so I am hoping to have an easier time with this one.

One more question for Richard---what AF mode do you normally use?

Thanks for the setup info--I have been using zone AF,But thesurrounding AF points seem llike a better idea---I'll give it a try.


Thanks again for all your help,
