I'm at the IndyCar race at Sonoma Raceway, and have been using my 50-140/2.8 with the new X-T1 AF firmware....I am quite impressed with the results; the new AF system works quite well! I'm very busy with photo assignments for the weekend, but here are just a couple frames as a teaser trailer.

I think they're incredibly sharp, with great colors. Well done. Seems like that lens is worth the price.
 
Steven great shots at Sonoma, which focus mode were you using. Single, zone , or 3d tracking?
Hi Dave,
I was shooting with Continous High Speed, front switch set to C, AF set to AF-C, power management on high, and zone AF for these shots. The key is to have a high-speed SD card that can the camera can write to fast enough. I should also point out that I have extensive experience with panning for motorsports. Got your PM, will give you a call later this afternoon or evening.
 
Wow, it's been a year since anybody posted here...so here's some motorcycle racing! X-T1 with 50-140/2.8 and 1.4X teleconverter. American Federation of Motorcyclists (aka AFM) club race at Sonoma Raceway, September 4, 2016, Sonoma, CA, USA.

Just a few shots from night karting yesterday in Doha, Qatar.

Shot with X-T2, fitted with 50-140 at f2.8.

PP in Capture One, basically cropping, occasional white balance (those floodlights fluctuate light colour) and a little sharpening. Noise treated with Neat Image.

AF-C, single point (I get much better results with single point vs. Zone which tends to be unpredictable), custom set 6, Tracking Sensitivity 2, Speed-Tracking Sensitivity 1, Zone Area Switching: Center.

I would say this set managed to get decent pictures in those difficult lighting conditions.

Thanks

Dom
