[JulesMaximus]

1 Cycling
2 Photography
3 Surfing
4 Home Improvement
5 Firearms and shooting
6 Cars

I spend far more time doing 1 and 2 than the others. I'm really good at cycling and a pretty good surfer too. I've been getting into kart racing lately as well but I just go to one of those indoor kart places and rent a kart. It's loads of fun.

I have a few other minor hobbies that I break out every now and then also.

Motorcycling is #1 by far. Then hunting, fishing, photography...etc

I'm getting a DRebel XT soon. I was planning to shoot race cars and bikes next year. Would the Canon 70-200 f/4L lens be good for this purpose?

 

[DaveSimmons]

1. Music collection (my 1,000+ CDs & building music servers to play them)
2. Books
3. Movies & good TV shows
4. Computers & gaming

5. Nagging people to donate to child's play (see sig)

That lens would be good. I don't know about the XT though... its Autofocus Servo (continuous autofocus) is really weak and inaccurate. Tracking moving objects and keeping them in focus is definitely not its forte.

 

[Ultralight]

1. Fresh water stream fishing, especially trout, smallmouth bass and redbreast sunnies on light tackle.

2. Cycling

3. Reading

4. Computer games

5. Hunting/shooting

Oh boy... uhhhh... I'm not sure

I really have no experience with any other cameras, and Servo AF isn't that popular of a feature that there's much data on it. I know that the Canon 1D series of cameras have excellent Servo AF, but they start at around $2000 used

I've actually used the 70-200mm f/4L with my XT's AI servo, one time taking pictures of a horseback riding competition and another time taking pictures of moving wolves. Both times the pictures came out unacceptable.

Anyone from the Nikon or other camps know of any good entry-level DSLRs with good Servo AF?

Poopy

If I were to travel I'd probably find some forest or out-of-the-way beach to camp on, or sleep in the car. When I go on roadtrips I seriously sleep half the time in my car and half the time at campgrounds.

Oh, oh, story, story!

This past spring I drove out west on a solo roadtrip. I left the red dust of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and that night spent the night at Great Sand Dunes, hundreds of miles away. That night I slept in the car because I was simply too tired to pitch up the tent, and early in the morning I was awakened by... scraping sounds against the sides of my car. I poked my head up to look and it was OMG deer!!!

They were licking the red dust off the sides of my car, methinks maybe because they were trying to get their daily salt intake

There were about four of them, licking my car for a good two hours, licking off the dust that had been accumulated from hundreds of miles away, dust that they would normally probably never have seen (or tasted) in their life

Hmm. Suppose I could always just use a smaller aperture to make it easier to manually focus... not what I wanted to hear :frown:
