Has anyone used the 90mm for shooting sports, particularly marathons and runners? I know the 50-140mm would probably be the better choice but was curious about the 90mm for shooting marathons. One potential problem using the 90mm is spacing between me and the runners but I would have some ability to move closer or further away. The 90mm would also double as an outdoor portrait lens as well so it would not be solely a marathon lens. Yup, simple solution is purchase both lenses!

thanks for your time, feedback, and ideas

Unless you are trying to get finish line pictures at Berlin or Boston there is plenty of scope choosing your spot at a marathon. It really depends what sort of image you are looking for.
