Re: An owner of a Canon T5i who needs action shot advice

I took a lot of photos at my son's middle school basketball games several years ago.  I had a Canon 30D and I had my best results using a Canon 85 1.8 lens.  I used ISO 100 and used aperture priority with the lens wide open.  It gave me fast enough shutter speeds even in the poor middle school gym lighting.  I don't have any of those photos saved any where now so I cannot post any samples.

I don't know what your budget is, but the Canon 85 1.8 is on sale at B&H now for $349, and Canon Refurbished is $336.
