What's your ultimate sports rig?

[domromer]

If money was no object and your were mainly into sports photography, hockey, basketball and wrestling.

Which body would you get and what lenses?

 

[Big Mike]

Canon 1D mk III (10 fps)

The lenses would depend on the sport being covered, the position from which I could shoot etc. Some might be...
16-35 F2.8 L
24-70 F2.8 L
70-200 F2.8 L IS
135 F2.0 L
200 F1.8 L
300 F2.8 L IS
400 F2.8 L IS
600 F4 L IS
Sigma 300-800 F5.6 (Sig-monster)

what Mike says x2 (x3 for the bodies) (you need backups)

Also flashes would be required.

Hey Mike while I do agree with your post I think it would have been alot easier to just say "all of them".

How bout a Nikon version?

 

[DHammer]

There is no Nikon for sports only white lens can shoot sports j/k

 

[Sw1tchFX]

2x D3's
2x D300's


2x all

12-24DX
17-55 f/2.8DX
10.5mmDX
14-24
16 fisheye
24-70
50mm f/1.4
70-200 VR
200 f/2
300 f/2.8
200-400 f/4
400/500/600VR's
and a few 1.4 TC's

Oh yeah, and about 20 SB-800's w/ pocket wizards when I want to nuke the whole football field. And if the SU-800 will work at those distances, than that would be BETTER because i'd be able to control what the strobes are doing right from my camera!

That would be a balls-to-the-wall set up
