I think the 55-200 could keep up with the speed. Even fast runners don't tax an STM motor. With the 55-200, you would find yourself pushing the ISO higher to maintain a fast shutter speed. A few of my shots, especially early on when it was overcast, were at 400-800 ISO. I was at F2.8 for all my shots. Later in the morning, when the sun was brighter, I was mostly at 100-200 ISO. If I'd been using the 55-200, some of the earlier shots would have needed 1600-3200 ISO, if I wanted to keep the shutter speed up at 1/1000. On the M6II, even 3200 is pretty good, so I think the results would still have been good, but the files wouldn't have been quite so clean, and the ones I cropped a fair bit would have shown it. Reduced to web viewing size (or moderate prints, say 8 X 10), the difference would have been small.

Copy that. Thanks for the reply. Cheers!
