IMO the above statement couldn't be more wrong. If I have the light I opt for the 200-400 every day of the week and twice on Sunday's. The 300mm 2.8 is not more versatile, but it does have 2.8. In my experience the difference in IQ and depth of field is worth having the zoom.
If I were shooting volleyball and basketball in great light I think the 200-400 would work a lot better than the 300 prime.. The ability to zoom in and out as basketball players run down the court towards you, or zooming in on a "setter" in volleyball, then zoom out to the blockers at the net.....
The 200-400 wins versatility by a mile..... but it's an f4 lens. ...Show more →
I understand what your saying, but again, its all about opinion. When i shoot basketball, I shoot using 3 bodies, 1 remote, 1 with a 70-200, and one with a 300 and so I have everything covered up to 300, and at the point, anything beyond that is too tight. If you were shooting with single setup, yes, the 200-400 would be easier to frame and overall would be more versatile, however in my case, I need to do whatever I can to keep my lenses as fast as possible!
