7D mark ii help for indoor sports

[Sportsmom727]

I’m struggling to find the right settings for indoor sports. Looking for suggestions on settings. I have the 70-200 and 100-400 lens.

Amen, brother!

Hmm, doesn't sound like you are truly retired does it? I taught tool and die for 5 years after I "officially" retired.  Somehow it did not feel like retirement. They talked me into coming back because they were lax in replacing several of us that retired together.

"If the 120-300 can grab focus as quickly as the Canon 70-200 and maintain servo lock during rapidly evolving plays,..."

Who knows until you try one? I can say the last lens I would part with or sell is my ef 70-200mm f2.8L. It is either my favorite lens of all time or my second if you go by how much a lens is used, the ef 24-70mm f2.8L is. Without doubt the two best lenses ever made and I have had a boat load of lenses.

I know what some of the NCAA photographers are using. Or, I did, at least, before COVID and mirrorless! he very reason I bought one was a KU photographer. It's exterior is almost identical to the Siggy 150-600mm Sport. Plus it is heavy.

I am not quite ready to just sit in a rocking chair yet 🙂

I was on the sidelines for the most exciting fourth quarter of HS football I have ever seen last night with an incredible come from behind victory built upon a trick play followed by a beautiful touchdown pass as time expired.  I couldn't think of a better way to spend an early Fall Friday evening.
