I spent an enjoyable half hour last Saturday with one of the UK's top Latin dance teams, in dress rehearsal.

I used the SL plus the two zooms, all hand held, AutoISO, T mode at 1/250s. The aperture was generally wide open.

 

And I've been blown away by the ability of the system and its capabilities: I'm now used to the low noise up to ISO 3200 (my AutoISO upper limit is 12500) and the SL's colour quality. But it was the OIS, AF speed and Focus Tracking that were special. I took 2-300 shots, and probably no more than 10 failed to find focus. As you can see, the white walls helped with contrast, and when dancers crossed there was a risk that the focus patch would go off after the wrong one. But, given the speed of movement, the hit rate in manual would have been the other way round (unless I just stuck to prefocusing); and basic AF would have taken me too long to get the focus point placed for just that fraction of a second momentary pose.

 

This one with the 24-90 at 80mm, 1/250s, f/3.9, ISO2000. I've removed a couple of water bottles in PS. Focus point on the face of the dancer in green.

Not a great composition, but this shows the forest of bodies, faces and limbs that Focus Tracking has to negotiate.

A bit of patience in PS would dispose of the basketball net etc.

90-280 at 90mm, f/2.8, ISO 1000. The focus point was on the lady's face top right.

Yesterday used the SL + 90-280 for some test shots at a soccer training. It was much easier than expected to get some proper images. All pictures with AF-S.

There's more geometrical barrel distortion than I remember seeing in other pictures from the 24-90 Vario Elmarit.  I had assumed that the in-camera compensation would correct this - is this not the case then?

Possibly the camera pointing downwards and also not level ?

Our destination was Fornebu, once an airport site, now with many research and high tech offices, but dominated by the exotic Statoil building, which manages North Sea oil

This is with the fabulous 50mm ASPH M Summicron and Lightroom.  Perhaps it's not visible at this size, but the brickwork shows some broad moire stripes that the moire tool won't remove.
