I shot this yesterday. D800 with 80-200 f2.8 AFS, 135 mm, 1/800@f3.5, hand held. The subject was approaching me at extremely high speed as I was panning. I got off four shots and the D800's focusing kept up with the subject - all were acceptable. This was at the start of a 1/4 mile drag race. The car is ~2000 hp burning nitromethane (see the deflection of the rear tires). Sharpness is very good, so hand holding was not an issue. Attachment: _D8G0572_full.jpg (Downloaded 32 times)

Here is a slower-moving subject. D800, 80-200f2.8 , 200 mm, AFS 1/320@f5.6, but on a flimsy tripod. Attachment: _D8G0292-1.jpg (Downloaded 32 times)

Be interested to see that landscape at different shutter speeds Dave. Yours is sharp as shown by the crop. 1/320 is approx. same as 1/lens focal length plus 1 stop. In fact it is 1/3 stop less.

I was at this location for only a few hours so was just grabbing shots at the best shutter speed I could manage for f5.6. I was being more a tourist than a D800 tester. I had already done testing at various shutter speeds the previous week, taking shots of a lamp post across the street from my house. That's how I arrived at my 1/focal length + 1 stop rule. It's a nice lamp post, but the rock formations look a lot nicer. I'd be interested in others' experience. This rule works for me but I have a genetic nerve condition that is gradually shutting down muscles. So far only certain muscles in my legs have been affected, but the result is that I have trouble standing solidly in one position even if I cradle the camera while standing feet-apart and bracing my elbows against my body.

Nice to see that the 80-200 f2.8 AFS performs so well on the D800. I think my 80-200 AFS has better colour than the 70-200 AFS VR which seems a little cool/blue.
