Just a Mallard
I spent a lot of time with Mallards when i was in the States which may sound strange as they are very common here, However one of the 'Duck Ponds' that i visit have hundreds of them tooing and froing all day,I wanted to test the MK3 and found these perfect as they have a fair turn of speed and are not to big or small, This was one of my favorites from the hundreds i took

Hi Danny
didnt see that you had commented-the MK3 is 95% brilliant-its just the 5% thats the problem

Hi Dave

Thanks I am still not sure as like you I like to do alot of action shots and the MK11 is working for me so why change. I wouldn't shoot at high ISO ratings anyway and I know that is one plus but the auto focus is a concern. Hows it going with OSF.

Cheers
