My .02, get a 70-200 2.8 and 1.4x converter. Forget about trying to cover the entire range from 70 mm to 600 mm or whatever... ain't gonna happen. Instead, focus on getting a few really good shots ...

Six likes for such a lame comment? The fanboyism is strong here.

Some camera companies may be in decline, or worse, but the hobby is definitely not in decline! We have more options than ever!

OK, well if no one has anything else to add, I'll consider this question answered. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking to sell my 1.4x ii TC, but the prospective buyer wants to know if it will work with his D3200 and a 300 f4 IF-ED lens. I assume it will (though it will give him a whopping 630 ...

Since the most interesting part is just as they're clearing (or not) the bar, you could simply pre-focus on the bar and then take the shot as they're going over the bar. To make sure the focus ...

If you sat on the ground when taking the pictures and then cropped those images in post, like these for example: https://picasaweb.google.com/115751316766951412562/BaronieD2HalsterenD1?feat=directl ...

There are pros and cons to both manual and auto exposure. Manual exposure is good if lighting conditions are absolutely constant, but even then, sometimes players' faces will be facing the sun and ...

I can see why you'd need a longer focal length for lacrosse, since I assume you can't be too close to the sidelines lest you get hit with a small, hard ball. But since the OP didn't mention ...

If you only have one camera body, then the 70-200 f2.8. is the perfect combination of versatility, focus speed, ease of handling and IQ, especially with a 1.3x crop factor.

You should definitely be able to shoot at higher ISOs to get the shutter speed up. If ISO 1000 gets you a shutter speed of 320, then ISO 4000 (which the D610 should be able to handle without too ...

I've never understood the need for a star rating feature (I've noticed a lot of PP programs have them as well). Basically for me a picture is either a keeper or it's not. Different strokes...

"3 years of work experience for every 1 year of education"? So let me get this straight. In your mind, a recent college graduate on web design with zero experience would be as valuable to you as...

Post-processing or +EV is not a substitute for fill flash. If you watch a bike race, the photographers who are riding on the motorcycles or standing at the side of the road will always use a flash ...

Motion blur is fine if it's in the hands and feet, but motion blur in the face is not desirable. If you want motion blur then make it clear that's the effect you're going after, otherwise it'll ...

All else being equal, if you shoot from the goal line instead of the touch line, that should give you more distance to the background, rendering it more out of focus.

In the second and fifth shots you either missed the focus a little or you cropped in too much. Other than that, always keep the backgrounds in mind if you have the luxury of choosing them.

There's also the question of focus speed and overall image quality. I've never used a 100-400 (or Nikon's 80-400), but focus speed is critical in sports and I would imagine the 70-200 focuses ...

IF you're lucky enough to have two camera bodies, then you put the 70-200 on one and a longer lens on the other and you're done, no more dilemma. But if you only have one camera body, and you're ...

IS doesn't matter since you need to be shooting at at least 1/800. Subject isolation is nice, but in a team sport it could mean that another player who is also directly involved in the play will ...
