I shoot the Nikon D3 with the 24-70mm f/2.8 (these), 70-200mm f/f.28, and 400mm f/2.8 (for the really long stuff) - also have the 1.4 & 1.7 teleoconverters.

These were shot @ ISO 1600, 640/s at f/.2.8.

Flash?

 

[ultravista]

no flash, never, never ever!

 

[mistertee]

What AF settings do you recommend for fight photography with the D3?

I have a friend in Japan that takes awesome fight pics. Susumu, ever hear of him? He used to do UFC, Pride, Pancrase, Deep, Shooto, K-1 etc.

I shoot AFC (continuous) for everything, including UFC / WEC behind a fence. The camera is much faster than I am ...
