What kind of sports do you shoot?
And what are you looking for? Do you need the reach of the lenses, do you need brighter lenses, faster frame rates, what kind of resolution are you interested in?

I shoot ice hockey and baseball for the most part. Most arena's lighting is horrible, and I have to primarily shoot with my f/4 Nikon glass. The range is actually perfect for hockey, the 70-200mm f/4 would be extra reach.

However for baseball, 200mm is not enough, and I would typically use the 300mm Nikon lens I have. Faster frame rates than the D750 is a must, not overly concerned about resolution. f/2.8 lens are out of my budget.

Impressive, I’m generally using a 70-200 2.8 at 1/1000 and auto ISO (1600-2500 generally). But I find with the higher resolution of the A7RIII, I need the faster shutter speed.

Do you do other indoor sports, like VB or Basketball? If not, then F4 is likely fine and definitely fine for the outdoor work. I thought the lighting was bad for hockey but it’s even worse in the gyms for VB and Basketball - ISO 8000-12,000 for 1/1000.
