Lens for sports indoors

[Ramg66]

I will be upgrading from a 300D to a 30D in the next couple of weeks, I need a lens that will do decent shots for Wrestling competitions, I took your advice and bought a 50mm f/1.8 II but have to admit it will not work for me as I can not move (forward and back) during competition so I need a zoom lens around 20-80mm that can take fast pics for wrestling in low light (that come out nice), but I don't think I can afford an L lens, can you please give me some other options? Sigma, Tamron, etc. Im willing to spend up to $500 for a decent lens new or used. Thanks for any advice.

I think the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 might be the lens for you. $429

Are you refering to the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DF? I see it has a 100% recommended by reviewers in Fredmiranda and is listed at $466.33. This is what Im talking about, thank you so much, any other opinions?

For some indoor sports the lighting may not be good enough to operate decently at 2.8. i would take a good look at the 85 1.8. It's certainly a good lens for indoor sports such as wrestling and basketball. If you had enough money you could always get a 200 1.8!!!!
