Funny you should bring this issue up ... I had a similar, first time experience, with this issue yesterday when shooting the Ferrari Challenge at Infineon Raceway. These guys are hitting the straight aways at over
100mph so I attempt to capture some of the action by panning and shooting in full bursts. I was getting really irritated but found that, once again, I had not properly set the camera up properly ... I reset the dial to Ch and that seemed to take care of the problem. I'm using the AF-S 28-300mm VR and have no issues with it stalling. It never once entered my mind that this could have been a lens compatibility issue. I'll continue to keep up with this thread to see what other may have encountered and how they have resolved .. live and learn.
