I covered some High school football yesterday. It was my first sport assignment with my Mark III. And now one thing is for sure: the dreaded autofocus issue does not affect mine. It worked flawlessly, with only a handful of out-of-focus photos – far less than what I had with my Mark II.
All photos shot with it my Mark III, a 300mm and on Aperture priority mode at f4.
