[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 8285, member: 1061"] [COLOR=red][COLOR=black]Given the distance of your subjects from where you'll be shooting combined with being in a gymnasium, flash isn't going to work for you in that environment. Using on-camera flash w/ a 50mm prime is going to blow out the top of your images because the lens isn't long enough. You'd have to go with off-camera flash, which isn't really ideal for sports photography. The 50mm f/1.8 is fast enough for you without flash. I use it for MMA photography all the time, because it's a great lens for sports and for solving lighting issues. Be sure your WB is set on auto and be prepared for some post-editing to alter the yellow tone cast by the gymnasium lighting. [/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
