I'm in the market for a new DSLR and some lenses and was wondering what focal length and f/stop you guys were shooting. I'm looking at a Nikon f/2.8 80-200mm on a Nikon body. ****'s expensive tho. I used to shoot sports for my university and never needed more than 200mm across a football field @ f/2.8

 

I'm using a D300 with battery grip, Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 VR (great for sports and portraits), Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 (good all around lens), Nikon 10.5mm 2.8 fisheye, Nikon 50mm 1.4 (great for indoor low light situations). I shoot a lot of the english horse riding stuff my girlfriend does and the D300 with the 70-200mm 2.8 VR works great for the dark indoor arenas. I was shooting at 3200 iso today in a dark arena and the pics look really good with very minimal noise.

I have a D80 that is basically brand new for sale. Give me a call if your interested. I'll give you a good deal. Or if you just want to try out some stuff before you buy come by the house sometime and you can try out all my lenses and stuff.

 

Thanks man. Thats what I was looking for. I'll give ya a call soon. Since I'm moving in a few weeks I'd like to hit the streets one last time in Austin before I go.
