Basketball, sitting on the court edge. A 135 might be great.
That said, I'd go with a 70-200 2.8 myself.

LOL good advice Rob, but they make 70-200 2.8 lenses now.

Has anyone used this lens for sports? Please rate the lens from 1 to 10?
Never heard of a 135mm lens. What brand offers 135mm f/2?
Nikon, Canon, etc.
Whoops, didn't see your thread before I made mine

I was just thinking get a 300 f/4. But low light might be a little bit of a hassle and the 2.8 is pretty darned expensive.Baydream wrote:
