    18-200mm fast zoom would be the advice on lenses and use a high ISO (maybe 1600 depending on your lens).

    What camera are you/will you be using?

    i assume the apperature does not go down to 2.8 , if it did it would be perfect , they very expensive , its just broke me - anyway up the iso as much as possible or try out flash if performers are ok
