I want to photograph a few sporting events locally.

2.8 is obviously a lot more expensive, but is it worth it?

70-200 lens

    IMHO, yes, it is worth it.

    The 70-200 2.8 is a super versatile lens, you can do sports, portraits, landscape, etc. This is one of those that you buy once and you keep for 10+ years.

    I got a 2nd hand Tamron 2.8 and is super fast and super sharp at 2.8. It was expensive but didnt break the bank.

    IMHI is a long term investment you wont regret.

      I haven’t even moved up to the 70-200. Still rocking the push/pull 80-200 f2.8D(nikon) over here lol. It is my most used lens indoors. It and the 50mm f1.4D. Have rented and shot the 70-200 several times just can’t justify the cost to buy when the 80-200 is doing the job.
