For now I will be sticking with my D200, but once again there is a reason for me to be envious of others.

Looking For That Perfect Lens
Sigma recently announced the massive APO 200 – 500 mm F2.8 EX DG.
This morning one of the OffWing photographers posed this question, “I’ve been tossing around the idea of buying a lens (I’ve been renting) and I’d probably go with one for hockey since I think I’ll be shooting more of those games, at least right now. Which brings me to my next question – what would you guys recommend? Is there anything that could be used for both hockey and field sports? Any thoughts on buying used?”
Very good questions indeed, nothing like having the right tool for the right job.
My advice was to go with is a 70-200mm f/2.8 ($1640 @ Adorama). This is a very flexible lens that has a constant 2.8 that will help you shoot in low light situations while keeping the shutter speed high enough to stop the action. This is the lens you would use to shoot at ice level for hockey.

This is almost a must-have lens. There doesn’t seem to be such a price difference on used vs. new on this lens because most people will never sell it unless they are switching from cameras.
