    Hello all,
    I have a few questions.
    I have asked a question like this quiet a while ago but now iv expanded on this :D
    Im big into sports photography and will hopefully be getting a job soon and then also a job for the summer.
    At the moment i mainly photograph sports but im happy to shoot anything.
    So with the money from my jobs im going to buy some "L" glass
    My question is whats suits my needs?
    I would be choosing from a canon 70-200 f/4,canon 70-200 f/2.8,canon 300 f/4 or a sigma 100-300f/4 hsm.
    Hopefully i would also add a 1.4 tc to my kit at a later stage.But my question is what will be best for me.Dont think ill ever be doing flood light sports
    I will use it for motorsports events and wildlife any help id be gratefull for
    Thanks

    What type of sports were you thinking of going for??

    IMO the canon 70-200 f/2.8 with a 1.4xTC or even the 2xTC

    For any floodlit sports, you need a f/2.8 lens. Low light is a killer.

    For daytime sport, yeah an f/4 will be good.
