I doesn't sound like fast follow is what Ali is talking about.
But I can confirm that it hasn't been possible for me to get much
shooting soccer games with the DZ 50-200 in AF mode. I have better
luck with one focus point than three, actually. Most of my keepers
are with AF turned off. Perhaps I'm just an inveterate MF guy, but I
just don't trust AF, and I rarely enjoy having the critically-focused
subject smack dab in the middle of the frame.
