Re: New lens for sports photography

If you are serious about football photography ditch the 6D and buy a 7D MKII or you can find a 1D MKIII used for less than the 7D MKII.

Lens wise if you can afford it go for the 70-200/2.8 MKI ( used) and the 1.4TC MKIII.

There is a 'hidden gem' out there that is hardly mentioned in the forums: the Sigma 300/2.8! Search for a used one. It's excellent value for money.

By the way your settings ( from the exif) seem a bit weird for football photography. ISO 100 and 1/640?? Do you use Av/ Tv or M?
