Here's a lens comparison from last w/e's VB tournament. The server was shot w the 135mm f2.0, 1/640 at f2, ISO 6400 w the 1Dx; blockers were shot w the 200mm f2.0, same settings; bump set with the 85mm 1.2L, at 1/1000 at f1.6, ISO 6400. All were processed in DPP w the same settings. After looking at a few hundred shots, I'm happy with the 135mm as an indoor option but the 200mm is noticeably sharper, as is the 85mm if stopped down to f2 or so. The 135 is super light (compared to the 200) and does focus much faster than the 85, as expected. With these three lenses, I think I can do a decent job in low light VB locations. If the lighting allows, the 70-200 f2.8L II can cover all these focal lengths with great AF, sharpness and contrast that is pretty comparable.

BTW - this location once again had high pressure sodium lights (not fluorescent) with the same varying brightness and color temp. I did not try the gradient color correction - just click white balance in DPP.

Thanks for the advice and feedback.
