Others say since people do not daven at the same speed, one may start even later than the shatz.[Igros Moshe O.C. 3:4. See Halichos Shlomo Tefilla 8:footnote 8.] Some say one may even start davening if the tzibur is up to magen avraham and others say most of the shemonei esrei should be undavened by the tzibur before starting shemonei esrei.[Horav Yisroel Belsky zt”l, see Oz Nedberu 8:41:4, Yugel Yaakov page 246.] One who did not start shemonei esrei together with the tzibur but finished with the tzibur is considered to have davened that tefilla with a minyan.[Pri Megadim Eishel Avraham 109:2, Mishnah Berurah 66:35, Vayivorech Dovid 1:22:4.] [Eishel Avraham Butchatch ibid. Oz Nedberu 4:16, Yalkut Yosef 1:page 145:9.] [Elya Rabbah 66:13, Eretz Tzvi 2:6, Mishnah Berurah 66:35, Orchos Rabbeinu 1:159:page 51.]
