I have a Canon EOS R that I use for soccer and football during the day and under the lights I alternate between my 70-200 and 70-400 Both work well but do not always capture sharp images especially when shooting in fast action mode. I’ve been told that happens to professionals too. Hope this helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Shooting college or any sports requires insurance and validation by sports department to protect athletes and integrity of the game. You should use lenses that are 2.8L or faster, but more importantly is the camera body and it’s tracking ability. Canon DX Iii or if mirrorless new R5…. Good backups would 7Dmark ii Good lenses would be 400 2.8 L or for hand holding 100-400 mm on bright day! Important to know where you should be allowed to shoot from on court or field and why!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wouldn’t recommend this lens for sports, unless you’re shooting parts with less action or movement because you are only able to use this lens with it extended, locked and zoomed in. I could only recommend some sort of zoom lens or standard lenses that hopefully also have image stabilization.
