I had just changed it recently, and found that half pressing was doing a lot of focus hunting. With the back button focus, I was able to get a lot better keep/lose ratio. Name is Ron.

I've used it quite a bit for basketball, not much for baseball and softball. I might just have to though. Great lens!

It was an indoor shoot with flash/umbrella etc set up and the subject just wanted to run around in his pants pretending to be a dinosaur!
