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

I had the T5I and upgraded to the 80D for quicker auto focus and burst. I could see in the view finder I was missing shots. Anyway, the 85.18 can be a gem for low light high school gyms. I guess this gym was pretty well lit since I was at f2.8. There are some you will need every bit of f2.0 and that's where you can open this bad boy up.

I would NOT even try to do with kit lens, but I see some parents doing it. I made the mistake several years ago buying a Panasonic FZ200 and trying my kid Junior high school gym. NOT Good. Waste of 400 bucks. It collects dust now.
