I shot a high school graduation last year and was not super happy with the results and I am looking to improve that this year. This is in a high school gym with poor lighting.
Last year (I not longer own this) I had a Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR that I used on my D850. While the results were acceptable, I am hoping to to do better this year.
Most of my images were shot between 100mm and 300mm. Most were shot at 5.6 as that is the lowest on that lens at 300mm so my ISO was as high as 10,000 for some images. 100-150mm was for wider full stage shots and 200-300mm for isolating individuals.
I was considering renting a quality lens for this year but I am not seeing anything that really covers that. Am I missing a good option?
If I can not find a good rental option my 2 other choices are my 70-200mm 2.8 or my 150-600 f/5.0-6.3.
Advantage to the 70-200mm is that it is a faster lens and I can run a lower ISO. Disadvantage is that I would have to crop to get the right perspective.
Advantage of the 150-600mm is that it easily covers the range I need. Though it is a little long on the short side, I can back up a bit. Disadvantages are the higher f stop meaning increased ISO and this lens does not capture as sharp of an image as my 70-200mm.
Any insight would be helpful.
