> big lens like this 200mm f/1.8L? >
Having not tried this, I can only speak from speculation, but my concern would be this. With the 1.8 apertures you will have a much smaller depth of field. I know on just my 85mm 1.8 that if I don't get the eyes in focus, my portrait is ruined. I would guess that with fast moving subjects, such as your hockey players, you may have a lot of shots where the focus is not where you wanted it to be. You may not be able so notice this on the small LCD screen either, and won't really know you've missed the shot until you've downloaded and opened it on your photo editing program. I could be wrong, but when I'm depending on autofocus on fast moving subjects, a little extra depth of field is like insurance. As I said before, I haven't tried shooting a hockey game or other sports with a lens that fast so my concern is only speculation. (I think Henry's idea for a big flash might work better) Good luck, JD * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
