I currently shoot some high school hockey in less than great lighting. I have used my 700-200 2.8 with some luck but I really have to push up the ISO. I recently tried a 85 1.8. I got much better exposure and speed results but the range seemed a tad short. Under these conditions should I consider selling my 700-200 and 85 and buy a 135 2.0L. i REALLY DON'T USE THE RANGE OF MY 70-200 much outdoors and I thought for outdoor long range I could buy a 1.4 tele converter.

Thoughts?????

i like the 135L. for what your shooting it might not have enough reach. i tried it (indoor soccor and volleyball). works great. im saving for $$$$ to get one.
