Things to keep in mind while shooting:
– remember the 1/focal length rule. So for the 85mm lens, shoot at 1/125, the 135mm lens shoot at 1/150 -1/200. Up the ISO to get the shutter speed required. Better to have a sharp noisier image, then a blurred cleaner image.
– camera AF on AI Servo, Spot metering, use only the center AF point.
