Rodeo Photography: The Best Lens? I have a Pentax zx30 with a 70-300mm lens. I am currently taking pictures of rodeos. Is this the best lens to use? Or is there a better one?

The big question I have is: Are you shooting in broad daylight or in an enclosed place? If you're in daylight, this lens might be pretty good. Ideally, you would want to buy a lens that would probably cost more than $500 to have the "best". But your lens will probably work pretty good if you are in daylight, like I said. Otherwise, if it's inside, you would want something that said f2.8 or something like f/(something lower than 4.0 inserted here), so you can shoot in lower light and use faster shutter speeds. In my opinion, the most important thing is that if you are pleased with your pictures and at least a friend (who's not afraid to tell you the truth) is pleased with your pictures, then what you have is good for the occasion at least. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the help. The rodeos are outside (daylight) as of now, but some will be in an enclosed arena. I am happy with the photos, and all of my customers are too.

Hi Johnelle ! I also shoot rodeo photography . I started out with a f4-5.6 300mm but recently upgraded to a Sigma F2.8 . It is an excellent choice for the money, especially if you dont have the "big bucks". I have some shots uploaded if you'd like to view..Good luck...
