I shot a volleyball tournament Saturday using the 85 f/1.8 at f/2.2. It was the first time outside of my f/2.8 comfort zone and I was very pleased with the results. The narrow DOF wasn't as much of an issue as I thought it would be.

Narrow dof is hard on sports. I manual focus a lot when shooting indoor sports or events. Makes life a lot easier than having the camera try to focus with action so quick. AI Servo or AI Focus?

My children and grandchildren are the reason, but it's the passion that drives me to get the perfect image of everything.
