Which L Lens?

[L33t]

I think 300 F4 would do awesome.





Very fast and very accurrate, the price isn't bad

Here's what we use for Basketball, football, baseball, soccer and every other sport we cover at TriDuo:


70-200 2.8 (some use IS, some don't, i'm the latter)


28-70/24-70


24-105 (the boss hogs this lens)


300 2.8 (great for soccer, though it can over shoot on a smaller field.)


1.4 TC


17-55


17-40


Not all are used at each event, but the 70-200 and one of the mid zooms are our bread and butter. For events like Basketball, indoors and on the court, depending on your position, a prime would be more of a hindrance unless you have a zoom on a 2nd body, which it looks like you do not have. Go with a decent wide and you'll be fine. Don't limit yourself to L either, I know plenty for full time sports photogs who make kick arse shots with "cheap" equipment and 3rd party glass.
