After a decade out of the game I am looking at getting back in to sports photography due to a very active child. I will however be on a very tight budget, so am looking at used and was just wondering is older kit worth considering. I still have a A mount Minolta 200mm F2.8 HS lens and 1.4 Teleconverter kicking about so did think about a Sony A99. Though older Nikon glass is relatively cheap, so a Nikon D3/D4 with 70-200mm F2.8 is a possibility, I see Nikon fit Sigma 120-200mm F2.8 are affordable used but don't know much about them. New bodies I am guessing are worlds ahead these days, so perhaps a A9 with a A mount adapter is the way to go. Though I would have no cash for dedicated full frame E mount glass any time soon so perhaps an A9 would be crippled and pointless with old glass. I have also seen that the Olympus MFT cameras are well priced on the used market, and there 40-150mm (80-300mm effective) looks an interesting lens. Perhaps that would be a better option. What's your thoughts or recommendations?
