I'm looking to a purchase a new lense for sports photography. A good all round primary lense to use for indoor and outdoor sports. I will shooting some baseball, track outdoors, soccer and field hockey. I'm looking to purchase a 70-200 VrII. Should I get a 300mm for the longer length and greater depth of field? Any suggestions from some sport photographers?
What's a good lense to use for sports photography?

I'd say the nikon 400 f/2.8 but that is kinda pricey...

For soccer and field hockey the 70-200mm VR and the TC14EII or TC17E, for when you need extra reach.

Longer lenses have smaller depth of field.
I would personally go for 70-200 for greater versatility ...Posted 3 years ago # -
Start with the 70-200 and a teleconverter. And reassess the situation from there as needed.

the 70-200 2.8 is great all around lens its fast and sharp lens.
I used the 70-200 at NHL games and drag races, along with an 85mm f1.4
My favorite lens for many 180mm f2.8 it costs alot less and produces AWESOME imagesI also have old manual focus lenses 300 f2.8, 400mm f3.5, 600mm f5.6
