Tennis season has finally arrived after a long winter. Two shots from a season-opening match with the "fixed" Mark III. So far so good!

Your shots are good, their technique is horrible.

I believe the Camden is 2/3 hot and the other is at least a stop or stop and a half hot - top half of the arms a washed along with the face. My Mk III shows good metering but comes out like these at time! Also, the poles/gate is slightly tilted showing the verticles of slightly in one.

Thanks for the input... I already rotated the first shot to correct for the pole and couldn't anymore without losing the bulk of the racket. I was sitting at the net, shooting diagonally at them.

How are you metering? Eval or partial or spot? Just curious.

And yes... techniques are awful and these were the No. 1 players... you should have seen the rest!!

These were shot in Av @ 640 ISO f4.0 ss 1/4000 in center-weight avg (I think), they were from last fall. Looking at them closely - I believe my Hz are off just a tad too!

This is a good example... It's virtually impossible to have the pole in the background completely vertical AND the net be completely horizontal when shooting at any kind of angle.
