Using T2i body, hand hold @ night lit sports Soccer. I had allot of blurring (Goalie standing still) last season in the later part of the matches. I was using a EFS-55-250 1:4-5.6 is ll. Used Sports mode AV, and M. Blurring remained a problem at still shots or actions shots. I figure I need the f/2.8 to gather enough light to accomplish the results wanted. I would like some info on lens above, both pros and cons although it proably doesn't have any cons. I am not a pro or anywhere close. Started shooting when I got my first Canon AE-1. I will be mostly using @ 200mm with f/2.8 in the applications above. Will this lens get the job done? I have read that @ 200mm the outer edges of the images are white or a lot lighter than the inner poritions. Is there any truth to this? If so, can it be handled in a photo program if I shoot in RAW? Any guidence would be greatly appreciated!

Also, the majority of the shots were at 70mm, then...
If I shoot at 200mm, is the light constricted even more; the higher the mm, the more you have to add/accommodate your lens with light?
Please help me make my decision before the season comes in a few weeks.Thank you for your help
No, all versions of the 70-200 are "constant aperture" zooms, which means that their widest aperture is f/2.8 (or f/4) at all focal lengths.

"I went to the 2.8 for extra light it would provide ..."
One thing, it is only one stop. Not a world changer by any means. If you commonly shoot at ISO 1600, it means you now can shoot at ISO 800.

It can be a world changer of you plan to use an extender. I know you don't like extenders, Ernie, but not everyone shares that aversion. Especially on a good lens like the 70-200, which doesn't suffer an IQ hit when used with an extender of comparable quality.

You have more issues if one stop changes your world.
