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.
Thank you.
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
