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

    Depending on what kind of sports you’re doing, 2.8 will be MUCH better for indoors and worth the extra money. I’ve been shooting pro wrestling a lot this year and for our outdoors shows, I’d be fine with f/4’s, but the moment we aren’t it is 100% a need for 2.8.

    IMO 70-200 2.8 is worth every penny.

    Also depending on your camera mount, a 70-200 2.8 from Tamron or Sigma might be worth it. If you’re on Sony or Nikon you could even consider the 35-150 2-2.8.
