p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Better Endzone lens for poorly lit stadiums? | |
I've been shooting semi-pro football in the great light of summer evenings for three years, but as we lose the sun in September (and High School ball picks up), I get frustrated by endzones that are the equivalent of darkrooms. I have good long glass for midfield work, but my short glass needs help.
I get away with my 24-120 f4 in early evening, but second half shooting is abysmal. I shoot it on a D610, so there's reasonable (6400) range - but even with that, there's nothing usable.
Been thinking about a 50 1.8 to trade out the zoom flexibility for 2.5 stops of light - but the very short FOV is only going to work if it has great focus speed.
Have any of you guys gone the prime route for these tough shots - is there sufficient focus speed to make this work? Any other solutions worth trying?
