Photographing Basketball: Lens Question I have the basic Canon wide-angle lens and the 75-200mm 2.8 lens. I'm looking to buy a lens that's in between the two. I heard there's a great mid-range zoom lens for basketball, but I can't remember what it is. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Tammi: Hmmmm ... perhaps you mean the 28-135mm IS lens? Problem is, it does not have very wide apertures, so shutter speeds will be long in low light. The 24-105mm f/4L would be more suitable and it's also equipped with an image stabilizer. I own this lens, and it's excellent! Cheers! Peter www.peterkburian.com

Sigma makes a very good 50-150 2.8 lens that I use.

I agree; the Sigma is superb. And the aperture is even wider, so very useful in low light. I tested it; you can find my review at: www.shutterbug.net/equipmentreviews/lenses/0807sigma/index.html Peter - www.peterkburian.com
