Have you tried absolute everything in terms of camera settings and technique before looking into lens?
Action means fast moving subjects means fast shutter speeds. If you want to keep your ISO low, you need a faster aperture. If you're in good light, you'll probably get away with it.I use a Nikon D5300 and take a lot of my dogs running, currently use a Nikon 70-300mm lens....... what lens would you recommend to capture the speed!
there's a lot you can do with your existing gear. What's holding you back?
I'm guessing your talking about focus speed?

Don't understand how you can draw that conclusion - OP asks for an 'improvement' but the definition of improvement depends on his usage scenario.70-200 2.8 lens would be best IMHO
Can't believe all these clever people and not one single person answered your question All gave good advice that I would agree with.. but not one answered the question
OP asks for an 'improvement.
I think Vincent would have the same problem what
ever lens he may use!
So I'm amazed you can answer the question without further details
Still don't follow the logic - why is the 70-200/2.8 the best? Maybe he's shooting in a confined space and the 70-200 is too big and heavy or un-subtle. Maybe the best for him is a 300/2.8 or a 135/2 or 200/2. This is why nobody is giving an answer.no he didn't.. he simply asked what the best lens would be..

The point is that any answer provided before the OP gives more info could be poor advice.[emoji1]
Bit too quick for that conclusion, no?! He's only made one post!I understood, like the clever people, the question but,
like them, I think the problem is not there!

If you go to someone and say you want the best car, what answer would you give?A simple question gets a simple reply.. if poster wants to give more info then he will get a more info reply
I was the only one to answer his question and your queing up to have a pop ?

based on doing a lot of moving dog photography ..i certainly wouldnt post a picture of a bird to prove a point about shooting dogs haha
Rather than whiteknighting and taking Kipax to task, why not do something logical?
See that original post? There's a link on it. That leads to Vince's Flickr account.
Now given the pictures that he's displayed, which do you think would be the most logical and best lens to use?
Oh, that might just be a 70-200/2.8.
Which brings us back to - whats the limitation with the current setup?
