[kemplefan]

if you had $1000 (sory for no conversions but i am in a time strap) a flash definityly but what lenses would you get say you were shooting mostly low light sports, but some higher light work

80-200 2.8

You could go sigma new or nikon/canon used maybe.

70-200 2.8

OR 135/2 and 85 if it's gym gymnastics

what sports are you looking at doin mainly

 

[kemplefan]

i shoot competitive climbing mostley indoors wich is a nightmaer photgrapicly with dust and bad lighting, but i also shoot a bit out side , and it is mostler low stuf like 85mm is about as much zoom as i want

 

[kemplefan]

also just remembered if it is not a nikon dx lense, or a film lense multiply the all lenses by 1.5 so 80mm is actualy 120 becuas i use a d50

Remember that the crop factor does not actually increase your focal length, it only reduces your field of view to be narrower.

It sounds like you want a 70(or 80) to 200 f2.8 constant to me. They're very versatile for the money and work well for sporty type stuff where you aren't too far away.

And who let you loose with $1,000???
