Hi there! Just bought a Canon Telephoto EF 135mm f/2.0L USM Autofocus Lens for my Rebel xti and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the best settings to make the most of this lens in theaters and gyms where I can't use flash?

Too many variables like lighting, subject matter, camera to subject distances etc.. Shooting theatre and gym stuff are totally different fields of photography.. Jurgen

See to reference to using a ref's white shirt in: Need an exposure crutch? FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...
