I just shoot for my own enjoyment, so I can choose my poison. :-) One of my frequent subjects is a skydiver at low altitude, and at touchdown. I have found that a Pentax Takumar 135/3.5, mounted on an Olympus 4/3 camera, works great for this purpose. Autofocus lenses, with no hard infinity stop, are the worst.
