Hi All. One question you may be able to help with. Focal lengths for cricket. I currently shoot a Nikon Z8. Longest lens I've got is the z mount 70-200 f2.8.
I've been looking at longer lenses to enable me to shoot football and cricket, primarily cricket. Budget-wise I'm looking at either the Tamron 150-500 z mount f6.7 or the Nikon 180-600 f6.3.
Now, focal length. Is 500mm long enough. Or should I go longer? I'm not overly bothered about the compact size of the Tamron.
Is there a huge difference between the separation of the background at f6.3 or f6.7. I realise its not going to be in realms of a f2.8 or f4 but I can't drop f2.8 or f4 money on a lens otherwise my wife will be sticking the lens where the sun doesn't shine but I can justify spending somewhere in the region of £1-2k max.
Thanks for any words of wisdom you can share!
