Hi. I want to shoot a soccer game and I was wondering if the Canon FD 85mm F1.8 would be good for that. If it isn't then which FD lens would be?
 
Guess it depends on how far from the action you are, and what type of shots you are after.
My first choice would be a zoom for covering the action at a variety of focal lengths.
Good Luck!

I'm with Dave, a zoom is your best option but you'll need to stop it down to get a deeper depth of field unless you're really adept at manual focus - why not use a lumix lens rather than fully manual?
 
The FD 85mm f1.8 is my favorite lens from my FD collection, but remember its became 170mm on the m4/3 and the shake will be very pronounced, for live action i totally recommend you to use the 14-140mm, OIS, AF focus, good in light or exteriors, versatile zoom range.

Can't afford the 100-300 unfortunately. I have an fd 80-200 f3.9, would that work? I'd like to shoot in slow motion and get relatively close to the players.
