Photography Question

Would using a 300mm lens at f/5.6 on a sunny day with Fuji Press 400 give me a fast enough shutter speed to capture action at a Major League Baseball game? Thanks in advance, Jordan.

  Yes. Image size is something else, if you're shooting from the stands. So that depends on where you're sitting.
But you'll probably have to sneak it in to the stadium.

  Thanks for the repsonse Greg. Just to be sure when I get there what kind of shutter speed should be trying to get? Around 1/500?

  Yeah, that's fast enough to get faces clear. With 400 sunny day you won't have a problem shooting faster. If it's mid day, you may want to increase the exposure a little bit because of the shadow from their hats.
