[QUOTE="hark, post: 725104, member: 13196"] My first 35mm was a Minolta XG-M which was a manual focus body. And back at that time (before AF cameras came along), pro photographers had to focus manually on flying birds. I never tried birds back then but do remember working on panning (slow shutter speed) taking fast moving boat images on the river. Just panning from left to right while trying to maintain the focus was difficult. I can't fathom how difficult it would be to focus on a bird that flies erratically (front to back and/or side to side). But I imagine many pro photographers had the money to lose a few shots when shooting film. ;) [/QUOTE]
