    So who has the 50/1.2? Phew!:)

    Difficult conditions. The white background makes the shuttle impossible to see for overhead shots.

    I'd like to see more shots with the shuttle in the picture to add a little more interest.

    ISO 400 is pretty good. Shows the value of f1.2 but there must have been quite a lot of out of focus shots due to the very thin depth of field.

    i was drooling at the 50L too. :)

    it seems that you guys are too conservative in terms of ISO. i use ISO1600 and sometimes even ISO3200 without any issues.

    ..just wondering, is that the place/hall where the guys usually play?? If so, then, do you guys have to paint/Sharpie-marked?? all the corks/birdies with black ink ,every time, prior to playing??..:confused:
