Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

A Reviewer from lamesa, TX reviews the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM:

This is the lense you need if you want to photograph high school / junior high basketball in a low light arena. It is fast to focus and accurate on the subject. The f-value is low enough that you can use high shutter speeds and the image quality is absolutely the best of all the lenses I have tried.

This weeks tip was sent in by Peter Jennings of Ontario, Canada:

Do you ever wonder what to do with the lens cap while shooting? You either have no pockets, or too many pockets and cant find it when you need it. I have solved this problem. I got some velcro and stuck a piece on the outside of my lens cap and sewed the other piece onto my camera strap. Whenever I take off the cap, I just stick it onto my camera strap and it is right there when I need it.
