If I'd had known they moved this fast I would have jacked up the shutter speed. They moved faster than the basketball games I shoot (*smile). Cropped.

I wouldn't have been able to get good clear pictures of my daughter's graduation (inside) if it hadn't been for this lens. With my other ones I would've had to really crank up the ISO. With this one, I was able to use 800 and they came out great. It's not only good for portraits. I've used it inside when I needed a faster lens like for her graduation. I've also used it for basketball games and for some of her swimmeets (when I could get closer to the pool).

I got this lens basically for free when I bought my 20D/grip combo. I always wanted one and saw it all for a great price. Now it's my moneymaker  lanceshuey.com
