Ran out in the afternoon to snap a few of my son's HS Frosh game. Real pleased with AF speed and acquisition. Typical low light HS gym, but fairly pleased with results with the second time out with the 5D.
Thanks in advance for looking and welcome any comments. Kindest regards Have a great day

Croasdail making stuff up  More info | Dec 06, 2006 08:53 | #3 How funny - used to live in Issaquah on Beaver Lake. Anyway. I think your < 1 stop off so I would think you could pull these images up in post processing without too much hassle. Looks like the lens was working for you... good job. I love the huge DOF you get with a wide. Are we serious here though.... the score was 75 to 20? Good golly! That was painful for one of the teams.

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

With the 85/f1.8 and ISO 1600, I could only get around 1/320 or 1/250 and in the middle 1/400. Agree, I was fiddling with the new cam and settings. The lighting in the gym goes from good to bad in areas which makes it tough. My intent was to push things a bit and check results. Have a great day

It's not hard, but the features, etc are just different. I'm pleased though with the performance so far. Have a great day

. I never favored the wider actions shots in the past, but I'm pleased with some of these. The 35 1.4L is pretty cool to use.
. Shockingly, could have been much worse.
