Great panning there. 1/125th isnt easy. Do you use VR on the 70-200 for panning at all? IIRC there are two modes - one which can be used for panning, and one that cant?

[Ross]

Cheers :) VR is off for all of these but yes, you're correct - there are two modes.

VR "normal" compensates for small motion but can sense when you are panning. VR "active" is supposed to be for larger motion such as from a moving vehicle or boat but I haven't tried it yet.

TBH when you are standing still shooting subjects that don't move much I find VR excellent. I must admit I can't actually tell much difference either having it enabled or disabled for motorsports though - not sure if it's just me :shrug: perhaps it disables when panning quickly?

Lovely shots Evilowl, especially the 3rd one (Ferrari).
