Hmm---my very cheap Canon f/1.8 50mm does a nice job of available light
gathering in a gym--my much costlier 28-135 IS 3.5-5.6 needs flash,
which I try to avoid for indoor sports!


It must be my lenses! Sure, I can get low light shots (not that I take
many) but my own fetish is for sharpness and I just can't bear to put up
with a soft image, knowing that dialling down a bit and using flash (if
allowed, of course) will produce a much better shot.
