Best lens to use for a mixed militaristic arts (mma) event. I hold a Canon 40D..?
Answers: The correct answer will depend upon how far away you will be from the action and what piece of the motion you want to photograph--the whole scene or a tight shot of a short time ago one individual.
I disagree with the concept that the 24-70mm lens is the preferred lens for indoor sports shooting. In my experience, pro photographers are usually too far away for this to be an effective lens. Unless you will be relatively close to the action, this lens is a poor choice within my opinion.
I would instead recommend the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens as the optimal choice, because you can be further away and still occupation the action. It's portrait stabilized to minimize vibration blur, which is a authentic possibility in indoor shooting. Finally, the bokeh of the lens will lend a hand to isolate your subjects from a distracting background, giving your imagery more "pop."
I would avoid flash shooting, unless specifically allowed.
I would have some brand of camera support, as allowed, like a monopod.
Bottom chain for lenses: "fast" lens (that is, a wide aperture lens), dummy stabilization, and presuming you're not right up there subsequent to them, a telephoto zoom. This practically screams 70-200mm f/2.8 IS.
It depends upon how close you will be to the goings-on and what the lighting conditions are in the venue.
Generally the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM would be the recommended lens for indoor sports
Indoor gym lighting usually not massively bright. You probably need to use 85mm f/1.8, 100mm f/2 or 135mm f/2 L depending on where on earth you stand.
