Some very interesting insight that I will try to apply!

Giving a little background, I frequently find myself shooting in low light situations (gyms, churches, etc). I recently picked up a 50mm, F/1.4 lens, and at 1.4 to 1.7, can get the shutter speed I need for a decent shot of things like Tae Kwon Doe competitions. The challenge is sometimes I am not as close as I would like to be, so I need to crop to get to what I really want.

I also have a 135mm, F/2.8 manual lens that I can sometimes use, but sometimes the light will not allow for a decent shutter speed with it (I try to not go above ISO 800). I was in Chicago for an international competition a week ago where the light was so poor that I had to go to a F/1.7 minimum to get a decent shot!
