Chris,

Thank you very much. So, you're experienced in getting a good shot shooting basketball in a low-light situation. Did you every need to use a flash? Sometimes I have to use the T5i flash, but I don't know if that sufficient. I will look into the lens you have suggested.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. -Tony

I never used flash - a lot of venues do not allow flash as it distracts / blinds the players.

With AAU level games you can move around and have pretty good access so the 85 1.8 can get the shots you want - you can stand baseline to get closer up shots in the lane, etc.  You can stand move over by the corner to get players coming down the lane.  So the 85 1.8 works well - you can just zoom with your feet.

Chris
