I have set my MK3 to use the * for focusing, but if I take my finger off, the shutter refocus's (found the error of my ways, thanks Russ) . I played around with my Micro Adjustment, and looks like 0 is the right setting. Here are 3 at 0 settings and I think they are dead on. opinions please

morenoar (I don't know your real name), the 1st and 3rd are screaming for a vertical composition given the cut-off feet and excess space on the sides. In fact, I find I shoot 90% of my soccer in vertical.

John, I agree with you. I should have posted better composed shots. I am having a bit of trouble remembering to shoot. I start watching the game, and then the brain turns on "dang it shoot dummy" From my last post, besides the error of my way, I posted to see if the sharpness was spot on. My previous shots, with 70-200, front focus really bad. This time, I shot with MK3 and 400 and it looks like they are focus right on track. The last couple of years, I went from Vertical to Landscape, to try something different. Still trying to get used to non zoom lens. Appreciate your input and agree with you 100% Here are 2, one I should have not gone vertical

Should have gone horizontal

Angel: That second shot is a beauty. And as long as we're talking crops, I'd cut out as much of the distracting background on the right side of this image as I could. If it ends up as a more-or-less square crop, so be it.
