Oh, definitely not. And I don't believe that it could keep up if she were, at least not with my skills.

I know its probably not the first choice for indoor basketball, but I have definitely seen great basketball images from the 1.2. I think it can do much better than your examples even you or myself are behind the camera.

I asked about the ability to focus quickly enough even for shooting events with this lens. There was a poster who had posted basketball images shot with it. I believe he was shooting from the baseline and the images were great. After seeing those images and other posters' comments, I decided that the autofocus was more than quick enough.
