I noticed on my Sigma 70-200mm lens I am also getting vignetting. I am using the butterfly hood that came with the lens. The vignetting is on both the vertical and horizontal. Any suggestions.

The same thing from Craigslist in Illinois.

Thank you for your interest in my ad. However, I'm sorry to say I meet
somebody else and sold it already. If you’re still trying to find a
good deal on it then i am suggesting you to visit this site-
http://bestbidsmarket.com
It's where i got mine from. It’s an auction site. The bids are really
cheap. Just bid when there’s under 5 seconds left and it’s easy to win.

All the best

I am new to this forum and may not understand the mechanics of posting comments. I enjoy following this thread but am having trouble following the posted comments related to a specific photos. Are they linked or can they be linked? If they are linked, how do I connect the dots to the pictures?

I enjoy this type of discussions. Also, please let's agree to disagree nicely and not run anyone away.

You need to get the feel of the gym lights. Some older gyms have darker and lighter areas because of where the lights are positioned. Use the information on the exposure triangle mentioned from the other post. Also, when you go through the PP jot down the settings you like. You will want to carry a notebook to keep track of you settings. This keeps you from having to remember what setting you are using. This is very helpful if you follow the team to other gyms. With the limitations of your camera, ask yourself questions on what you would rather have a dark picture with sharp ball movement or blurry ball movement with a clearer picture of the person? Also, use you histogram.
Don’t be afraid to move around the gym. Plan you strategy before the game starts. Our gym has one dark end wall. This makes a difference on the reflective lighting. Is this the end you want to shoot offence or defense? How does your camera react to this? I divide the gym into sections. Throughout the game I will move around. Plan on shooting in continuous mode and do not stop once the basket has been shot. You might miss an expression or the scramble on the floor.
