Hi,
I have an XSi that I would like to buy a better lens for.
For new lenses I am considering a few options:
24-70 2.8L USM
200 2.8L
85 1.8
My needs are to shoot soccer games that will take place primarily during the mid day. I already have a 70-200 4.0L and that's just fine for mid day shooting, plenty of light.
The main need that I have is to shoot baseball at night and basketball indoors and the faster 24-70, 85 or 200 would be much better suited to that task. the 70-200 4.0 is pretty useless for this especially coupled with the XSi's poor performance at ISO levels higher than 800 (even 800 is pushing it).
So which lens is best? I like the 24-70 for basketball but the reach of this lens might be limiting for Baseball.
The 200 is good but limiting for the closer focal lengths both in Basketball and Baseball.
The 85 is the same as the 200 as far as pros and cons for what I need.
Which is the better lens as far as sharpness; all things being equal.
Thanks,
Danny
