Title: Canon EOS 10D

This is what I own, and I love it.  Just wonderin, for anyone else that has it, what are some lenses you recommend using with it for fast action shots (these are taken in a spotlit situation with no flash...because basically I take figure skating shots and a flash could injure a skater.)

It all depends on how much you want to spend.  I will tell you you are goig to want a pretty decent telephoto.  For sports you are going to want what they call a fast lens.  That means the widest f stop is pretty wide.  A f 2.8  is pretty common for sports photography,  Also an image stabelizer will take away alot of camera shake.  If you are shooting from  a long distance and you are using one of these heavy lenses you might want a monopod because those lenses are heavy.  I rent a Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS (image stabelizer)  and when I use it, I don't just want a monopod I want another set of hands.  If I were you I would set you 10D at ISO 400. 400 is still pretty sharp but once you go beyond 400 it starts to get pretty noisey.  I hope I answered your question.

I've been looking at a couple of Tokina lenses, and will probably try them out once I have the money.  I will post a review once I get them (one will be soon, the other a long time off)

The first is a 28-70 f2.8 zoom

and the second is a 80-200 f2.8 zoom
