May be the only lens I need for basketball
4 of 7 found this helpful I primarily shoot my son's basketball games (high school and AAU). Lighting conditions in a lot of gyms can leave something to be desired so having fast glass is essential. The Nikon AF 80-200M f/2.8 is a great addition to my bag. I can get close in on the action, the autofocus works well and I'm able to get a high percentage of quality shots. Biggest drawback to the lens is the weight - it's heavy but it's also built like a tank. Combining the lens with my D500 allows me to get better pictures than I had previously with great detail when I zoom all the way in. For during the game shots I don't think I'll need to pack another lens, the only time I'll need something else is to take a team picture after tournaments (when I need something wider). I would go five stars if ther was a way to make a lens this long, fast and durable somehow lighter. My son's team practiced last night, I decided to practice with the new lens. This weekend they're playing a tournament, I expect a lot of great shots.
