This is a " short telephoto/zoom lens. Yes you can use it for sports events, but you will need to get close if 70mm do not give you the " reach " you need for your photo. You really need to use a 70-200mm or larger for sports for the " long reach " from distance. Both lens come in 2.8 Fstop. The 24-70 is really fast focusing, but to really get the most from this " prime " lens, you really need at a minimum, a D610 full frame Nikon. I would get the D750, if you can still find one. This would be the best solution if you can't get a D850. That camera is a beast, nothing out there in its shooting range (D750), can beat its dynamic range/colors, sharpness. The real camera to really see the full potential of either the 24-70mm or the 70-200mm Nikon lenses, is the D850. That my friend, is the best DSLR available, not even the mirrorless cameras can match the D850, unless you have a Z9 mirrorless. Both are expensive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
