Re: Best Lens for Sports Photography

A lot of good comments. Here's my take. The 50-140 is versatile but if the gym is poorly lit, then I'd rather use the 90 & 50 F2.

I actually like shooting better with my primes as I tend to focus more on just getting the action. The zoom is nice but I find I spend time zooming in and out and I tend to miss some shots.

The 200 F2 is my favorite lens, but it's a little long inside a gym. If the gym has a larger area at each end, then it can be ok. I use it in volleyball but I really concentrate on getting more close-up emotions of the players. I tend to use a monopod if possible with the 200.
