I have a Nikon D3s. I am looking to build a portfolio in sports photography with the intention of building a career longer term within the sports photography industry. I have a wedding and portrait photography background but have always wanted to work with sports and feel the time is now right. I am looking to shoot football, starting from the bottom, and I am looking for advice on the best lens for the job.
I am looking for second hand lenses, 300mm or 400mm, (f 2.8). To be honest, I have been very confused by the letter and numbers following the lens descriptions when searching, (eg. AF-S, ED, VR, IF-ED, NIKKOR etc etc.) and find it hard to distinguish between which is best suited to a D3s (which is also a full frame camera).
Which lens is preferable for football, and can anyone advise which specific lens works with the D3s best to create the finest images, especially in low light (floodlights)? I am looking to spend up to £4,000 second hand.
Many thanks,
Will
