What is the best lense to use for photographing night High School football games?
April 13th, 2010I would like to know what is the best digital Nikon zoom lense to use when photographing night High School football games with a Nikon D200 camera?
For reach, I’d recommend the 70-300mm ED or 70-300mm VR, but for the low light and action, an 80-200mm f/2.8 would be optimal.

In any case, you’ll need to push your ISO up to keep your shutterspeeds high enough.

I shoot NBA & WNBA games with my old Nikon 75-300mm, but I have the advantage of fairly even indoor arena lighting.
