Same one I own now. 400mm 2.8 E FL. Having owned the G version, you'll love the new F.I'm thinking about shooting sports again. Since I sold all my 2.8 glass I'll be starting over.
What lens would you buy 1st if you could buy anything ?
I've been in touch with our friend already. And on the D5 I'm drooling. The problem is I may never be allowed to show anyone my high school pics because of the new rules. I'm re reading them again nowSame one I own now. 400mm 2.8 E FL. Having owned the G version, you'll love the new F.
Exactly what I shoot. Too bad it's $$$$$. Sweet lens though.And on the D5 I'm drooling.
but compared to the D4 + 400g it's a new worldExactly what I shoot. Too bad it's $$$$$. Sweet lens though.
'Tis indeed.but compared to the D4 + 400g it's a new world
The D4 struggled at 8k, which is what you need down here. And the 400g literally hurt my back on that monopod up and down the field. The D5 shoots in the dark....I'm looking forward to shooting it at 8k'Tis indeed.
2.8 is mandatory for the light and the BGs. Only 2 lenses will do, the 300 and 400If you're considering spending the type of money needed for a 400e, maybe you should take a look at the new 180-400e. With the built in TC, you would be covered for near and far on the field.
for day soccer that was my go to combo. I still have a D500 and the 120-300 is on my radar. It's interesting starting over when you know what you used a lot and what you didn't. I use to have a Nikon 300 VR1 and a Sigma 120-300. I wouldn't get 2 300's again. My next purchase will probably be a 70-200 or a 24-70 but a D5 and a 400e can go along way, football and soccer anyway, which are my 2 favorite sportsI'm really enjoying my D500 and Sigma 120-300 S (180-450 of reach).
I’m not sure I’ll get the e this timeYou will LOVE the 70-200 2.8 E.
I’m gonna get the 120-300 1st since it’s a great deal now400mm E + D5 and be done with it. You will make that combo sing.
I'm eagerly awaiting the first photos.
The NCHSAA decided if your shooting on the field then they own your pics. Luckily maxpreps can sell them for meRandy, earlier you mentioned something about not being able to show anyone photos because of new rules. Curious what you meant? I sometimes shoot dog sports, usually held on a high school football field. My most used lens is the 70-200, sometimes with a 1.4 TC. I’m not dealing with low light, these events are always done during the day.
