Unfortunately, we can't use flash during the games here. Perhaps I'll just go down and buy me a 400 2.8 (after I win the lottery.


I was wondering how many out there had used the high range ISO on the 7d or other capable bodies and what your impressions were. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The results didn't seem as bad as I had expected---just stay away from the heavy crop and avoid pushing the exposure in post. The shots werenot great, but they were ok and usable for my purposes at the time.
