The 90 is an amazing lens, I love shooting action with it. My settings are:My settings are:- AF-C- focus priority- zone 3x3- MS (11 fps) or ES (10 fps, do NOT use more fps than that)- AF-C custom mode 6:- tracking sensitivity 0 (or 1 if it jumps to background too often)- speed tracking sensitivity 2- zone area switching FRONTIn some cases even wide tracking works reasonably well, but I don´t like it.Thank you Mike

Magnificient shots Mike (and lovely dogs of course)Cheers,Artur

Nice work. You obviously know what you are doing, and that only comes from experience with the tools and most importantly, with the subject.

And yes, I fully agree that experience with the subject it super important - I mostly don´t chase them around with my camera like a fool, I tend to prepare the action a bit to raise the probability of a good result.

Would you reveal how you setup your AF?AF-C, zone / wide, custom settings?Now, off to find some dog owners in my area who want to participateThank you!The 90 is an amazing lens, I love shooting action with it.

I have to use my Canon gear...Which settings did you use?Thank youI´m glad you like them!It depends on your camera and lens, I´d recommend the 90/2, 50-140/2.8 or at least the 100-400/4.5-5.6 (which focuses a bit slower than the 90/2 but still fast enough).My settings are:- AF-C- focus priority- zone 3x3- MS (11 fps) or ES (10 fps, do NOT use more fps than that)- AF-C custom mode 6:- tracking sensitivity 0 (or 1 if it jumps to background too often)- speed tracking sensitivity 2- zone area switching FRONTI hope it helps!Thanks

Wonderful set
