TPF Noob!
A quick introduction , I Used to do a lot of Film Photography in the 1980's, some small local swimsuit sales photoshoots in Miami and Ft Lauderdale.
Got Married, had a family and stopped shooting. then when I got into classic and race cars I got a DSLR (Canon EOS T4i) Had some fun with it at car shows and racing events.
Recently I started to get the photo bug again and My wife got me a Canon R8, I wanted to mess with Full Frame, Mirrorless and Video Capabilities.
But my Grand Daughter Started doing Travel Club Volleyball. And I started taking action pictures as well as video of the games.
I found out real fast that the Lens I was using was not up to par to do indoor sports shooting. The stock Canon RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 lens aperture was not large enough to catch
the fast action, I needed a 1/1000 shutter speed, even with my ISO set above 5000 I can't get good shots. I then Borrowed a friends Nikon Z9, with a Nikkor 70-200mm 1:2.8 VR
and a whole new world opened up. the shots were clear bright and well 48MP helps a lot too. My problem is Retirement, less income and there is no way I will be able to swing
a new Canon RF Lens with a 1.8 - 2.0 Aperture (Found several $2000 and up) Even with a EF adapter the lenses are still insane. and I feel I am loosing a ton of advantage using a cropped frame lens on a full frame sensor. on top of that the incredibly fast Auto Focus from the R8.
Thats my story.
