note sure...u tell me...;p
I have no idea as i don't have the lens! :bsmilie: Quite difficult to source for one too as this is a 10k lens we are talking about.
Anyway, happen to see your WTB thread for the 500mm f4L IS. Hope you can get one at a good price real soon!
Note to photographers who are interested in renting the 85mm f/1.2L II lens.
I have received feedbacks on the focusing speed of this lens. A common feedback of this lens is being described as " hesitant in focusing in low light", which can be frustrating esp when a good shot is being missed as a result. Therefore I encourage users to explore the capabilities and understand the limitations of this lens before taking it out for important assignments. Shoukd you have queries, feel free to drop me a PM!
Happy Deepavali!

Hi Bernard,
Whether the 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens is suitable for your indoor shoot would depends on the lighting conditions. The 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens is 1 stop faster than the f/4 version and basically it means that at wide open, you would be able to achieve half the exposure time compared to the f/4. ( ie 1/30s at f/.8 vs 1/15s at f/4)
Perhaps you would like to examine the past photos that you have taken and note the average shutter speeds of the pictures taken during the indoor shoots. Say, if you are consistently getting 1/30s exposure time with the f/4 at cameras max ISO during the shoot, you will probably be getting 1/60s for the f/2.8. Is this fast enough for you?
However if you are getting 1/8s with your f/4, the f/2.8 will give you exposure times of 1/15s, which IMO is just as bad. In this case, lens like the 85mm f/1.8 or the 135mm f/2 might fare better. Even though, under this type of circumstances, you might just be able to take momentary stationary shots
If you really insist on catching all the actions and smashes in the game under lousy light conditions, the fastest glass available for canon would be the 35mm f/1.4 (too wide), 50mm f/1.4 (too soft wide open), 85mm f/1.2( too slow in auto-focusing) and the 200 f/1.8 (too hard to find).
Hope it helps.
