The Canon 85mm L II is not fast focusing. For indoor sports the 1.8 USM is far cheaper with excellent IQ and faster focusing, but then there is the L's f1.2 lightsucking ability.

The IQ must be seen to be believed, so here are four more shots.

1. A full frame at f1.2

This last shot is one at f16 @ 1/60s ISO 1600. By the time I took this the light was fading fast. The first shots were ISO 100 at 1/640s. If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going! If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

It has the feel of the old sheet-fed press print magazine runs in low-gloss. Is it live or is it Memorex. Is it print or is it digital? Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should
