My first weekend with the new D500 and Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8.

That's the lense I'm using (on a 5D3). How's the autofocus working for you?

I don't really have anything to compare it against. I don't remember a time during the game where I felt I missed a shot because of the lens not focusing fast enough. I've heard the new Nikon 70-200mm has super fast autofocus so maybe one of these days I'll try it out. But only if I'm ready to upgrade to it. Otherwise, I'll be "stuck" with the Tamron and all of a sudden it would feel slow.

Really like that first one. I assume you in behind the end zone and maxed out on the lens for that one, 200mm? Was your game in the late afternoon? What ISO, shutter and aperature for your shots?

The game started at 2pm in Chesapeake, VA. It was mostly overcast throughout the game.

In the first one, I was actually on the sidelines around the 20 yard line. The punt was blocked and he picked it up around the 50 at the sidelines and ran right towards me. I got about 5 shots of him before he was too close.

This image was at 200mm, f/2.8, 1/3200th, ISO 400.

Wow, do I wish we played day games so I could get this kind of lighting...

I wish we had more day games too! I shot a night game a few weeks earlier. The lighting was terrible. My ISO's were hitting 20k or higher on some of the shots.
