ok so this saturday a local paintball player asked me to shoot for him. im wondering what focal length i should use. i have a 50mm f/1.8 or a 70-300 f/4.0-5.6. any idea on what i should use.

Im going to suggest the 70-300. Youre not going to be able to get super close to the participants unless they are just playing out in a field and not at a facility. if its at a facility they will probably make you stay away a bit.

Im not sure you want to get too close if its not in a facility just for safety of you and your equipment.

If you're at a facility, you might be made to shoot frombehind netting

I used to play a lot and worked as a ref. And I would not bring my camera onto a field unless it was protected lol
