A friend shoots his daughter playing indoor volleyball. He finds the 85/1.8 to be too long sometimes. Check your shots from the 70-200 - what focal length are you at?


If nothing else, don't do the 1.4x extender. You're better off just cropping your shot, and that's $275 you can put towards the next lens. I also noticed that you mentioned the 100/2.8 - did you mean the 100/2, or the 100/2.8 Macro? If anything, I'd say skip the 100/2 and go with the 85/1.8. The 100/2 just doesn't make tons of sense next to the 85/1.8, or as Roger from LensRentals says:


"Roger’s take: In my world, this little lens has one
primary purpose: its a great low-light indoor sports lens. High school
basketball, hockey etc. when you need the wide aperture, sharp images,
and reasonably fast autofocus. Those qualities would also make it a good
lens for other purposes, I"m sure. I just haven’t figured out what
those purposes might be."
