\nTracked with the Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan and Minolta 200mm F2.8G HS APO. The 200mm is amazingly fast, easily the fastest screw-drive lens in the A-mount – it could be out of focus as the horse is about to jump, and I could lock focus on it at the jump!<\/p>\n


\nNow you may ask, wouldn’t the Nikon D90 be better suited for capturing such videos?<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

It’s manual focus only in video mode, so you’ll have a hard time as the horses will run around the field and you’ll have to continuously refocus and track at the same, a quite daunting task. So daunting, I haven’t even done it myself!<\/p>\n

Well, I’d wait for what Sony and Olympus would offer for video – they seem to be the smartest when implementing something. After all, Sony has the fastest Quick AF Live View with Olympus being second with their contrast-detect AF, which is loads faster than what Nikon and Canon have done so far.<\/p>\n
