I have been using my 70-200 f2.8 L IS in sports mode with OK results using available light only. I have been wanting to use strobes, but notice that most photos with this lighting lack depth. Your photos, however, turned out beautifully. I would like to know if the strobes were distracting to the spectators or wrestlers in any way. It doesn't seem like it would be a problem when the gym lights are on, but is it an issue for the duals with the single light over the mat with the lights off? Dave,

The one I linked to, had a balcony, which isn't typical in most gyms. Kevin, here is a post I made using them a while back. http://blog.davehoffmannphoto.com/2008/01/mount-mat-madness-v/
