Quote:hi toni-a,
low light + action = trouble shooting,,(even though i do not own a 7dm2)
my personal experience, low light dance show,
shooting with 2 cameras
7dm1/580ex
--50mm 1.4 canon works reasonably fine
--85mm 1.8 canon works fine
--50mm 1.4 sigma art works reasonably fine
of course these combo's depend from the distance you shoot at
and...fixed focal...do not bother zooming : just shoot and reframe afterwords
400d/400ex
--30mm 1.4 ex sigma honestly...frustrating, would not try it again
--85mm 1.8 canon works reasonably, but do not expect wonders (AF to slow, frame rate to slow)
--50mm 1.4 canon same as 85mm 1.8
--15-85mm canon for use in "still" moments acceptable (even if noise is still a problem with the camera)
tripod/monopod ,
too cumbersome indoor with action photo's (IMHO)
so?
i do not own the 17-55mm 2.8
neither the 100mm macro
the most obvious choice would be i think the 50-150mm sigma or 50-135mm tokina
but since i did never owned these lenses...
a more common choice would be any 70-200mm 2.8 (canon, sigma or tamron),
but these could be a tad too long at times
but i never used these either
my main set-up was finaly,
7d/580ex/50mm 1.4 (first canon, later sigma art), 85mm 1.8 when shooting a second day
400d/400ex/15-85mm (for "still" moments)
and ...a battery-pack for the 580 ex
so ?
i do not know every of your lenses,
so far i know you own the 17-55mm 2.8, you could use with your 7dm2, (at 55mm most of the time, cropping if necessary in PP)
and maybe, but i fear AF could be too slow, your 30d with your 100mm macro as second camera
as you can "choose" your place,
i guess you should have a try before with the FL's you have
very kind regards,
couplos
Didn't expect use of flash there, anyway I also own 750D, 5D classic, my loyal friend Ghas will very likely be there with his 7D.
Since we have friendlies before official games, will use them to see what gear should fit best and most important where are best places to grab good shots since moving when the court is full isn't quite easy.
Will try to find gear that works best
Maybe 24-105f4L on 7Dmkii should do the job.
In friendlies stands are half empty, besides I can have my place among officials and I can swap lenses and bodies as much as I want, will try in friendlies and let you know what happens
