Hi All,
After some thoughts/views/opinions on a choice of lens.
My son has started playing basketball for a local club. I have been taking pictures for them but think I need another lens (any excuse ). I am shooting a Nikons D7500 and have been using a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 as the light is pretty bad in these sports halls. However, just about all my shots are at 70mm and TBH, I could have done with being lower than that as the sports halls don’t generally have a lot of space around the edges and I am mainly shooting their attacking basket.
So, I was considering the 28-70 f2.8 Nikon, then had a look at a few reviews and saw Sigma have the same set up. Went to Harrisons (luckily my local shop) and they also suggested considering the Sigma 24-105 f4.
Just wondered if anyone has any experiences they would be willing to share with similar set ups for similar (basically, indoor, poorly lit) sports?
TIA
EDIT - if anyone has any other suggestions on a suitable lens, happy to listen!
EDIT 2 (as I keep thinking of things) - if I went with the 24-105, would that be an adequate replacement to the kit 18-140? I know I lose some from both ends, but gain on the f4?
