Newbie Alert..........I'm looking for a versatile, allaround lens that is fast enough to be used for indoor sports, tack sharp for portraits, and provides sufficient reach. I know I'm asking for alot, but I only have about less than $1K to splurge. For the most part, this lens will be used more for indoor basketball. Like most of you that are in the market for the "ideal lens", I've been doing EXTENSIVE research on different lens and it seems like just when you have one nailed down, a review or two will alter my decision. As mentioned, I'm completely new to the DSLR world, but like most want only the best equipment(that my budget will allow)My current outfit is as follows:


Canon T1i


50mm f1.4


70-200mm f/4L


I've been looking at the 24-70 f2.8, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f/2L. Myfirst inclination was to get the 135mm and buya 1.4 extension for the additional reach, but then starting having doubts about the fixed FL, especially when taking portraits. I'm so confused and overwhelmed. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
