I am looking to replace my extremely crappy sigma 70 to 300 APO in the next few months.
I was thinking of getting a second hand mk 1 canon 100 to 400, but I am also wondering if it would be a better investment to get a set of primes.
I quite like the look of the canon 200mm F/2.8 prime, the 300m F/4 and the 400mm f/5.6 - I could only get one second hand now and save up for a second hand of the other. I would round things off with something like a 100 or 85mm prime.
I was wondering if anyone had a view on the prime v zoom thing for motorsport? Darren Heath swears by prime lenses, but I don't know if it's a road I want to go down. I might try going out with a fixed lens length on the crappy sigma and see how I get on. Any thoughts would be welcome of course.
EDIT - sorry, just realised I was in the wrong thread. Could this be moved to the Talk Sports thread please?
