gymdad Member 225 posts Likes: 1 Joined Jan 2007 More info | Nice shots, GBRandy. I think you alluded to this somewhere else (not sure where), but what are your thoughts about the 85/1.2 for gymnastics? In other words, would you buy this lens if gymnastics photography was its primary intended use? http://flickr.com/photos/gymcritters/

Oct 28, 2008 19:20 | #8 Thanks...I appreciate that leitch wrote in post #6572161  Tell the girl in #8 to watch the girl in #7 for how to do a good roundoff/tsukahara on vault  Great shots, I really miss competing. You made me smile. I have quite a few shots that a coach could use for technique review ahhhlawn wrote in post #6572214 nice and clean for the high ISO. Thanks...harder than it looks sometimes. khall wrote in post #6575251 Not sure of the technicality's in Gymnastics but picture quality is good. Thanks...I have been shooting for a long time and youth Gymnastics has proven to be a very big challenge. Worse than HS Basketball by a mile. gymdad wrote in post #6579144 Nice shots, GBRandy. I think you alluded to this somewhere else (not sure where), but what are your thoughts about the 85/1.2 for gymnastics? In other words, would you buy this lens if gymnastics photography was its primary intended use? The only gymnastics reason to own the 1.2 is for shutter speed. I use it almost exclusively on the vault as I pre-focus that event and wait for the gymnast to arrive. Trying to get that grenade of a lens to focvus and track is pretty tough in that regard it is quite slow....and i have the MKII version. Anything past f2 and the other 85 I have goes on...usually for beam & sometimes for floor. dekalbSTEEL wrote in post #6579918 I love the background in #5! Funny... I like that too and most never notice. Thanks for looking. GBRandy

Noise is in the camera and sharpness is in the lens. Maybe I just need to break out the 100 F/2 we've been chatting about in PM more often to see what it can do. Brice

The floor was with the 135 f2 or th 85 f 1.8. The bars were shot with the 135 f2. bwolford wrote in post #6591160 Nice work Randy.

I would use that 100 f2 a little more often if I was you Roy Webber wrote in post #6615758 ..+1 very good shot Thanks! sidx001 wrote in post #6619154 Great series Randy!

This place was lit remarkably well for that event....the bars? Not so much GBRandy
