[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3799, member: 654"] It will depend on what is most important to you. Sports photography, landscape and wildlife photography are three different types of shooting and no one lens is going to meet the needs of all three or any two for that matter. Each has it's own shooting requirements. Neither one of these lenses will be good for landscapes. For that you will need any where from 10mm to 50mm prime lenses. Landscapes are most often wide views not telephoto. For your sons soccer games the 80-200mm will probably work best. At a continuos f/2.8 it will be fast enough to give you the shutter speeds needed for stop action. The 150-500m is to slow and cumbersome for that type of shooting. With the 80-200 you can follow the action around the field from the sidelines and get good close action shots. You don't need a high powered zoom lens for most sports action shots. With wildlife it's different matter. Then the 150-500mm will work best. This lens will be best used with a tripod and set up waiting for the wildlife to appear. Hand holding a 150-500mm lens is very difficult at best especially in the early morning hours with slower shutter speeds. Lots of planning involved to know where the wildlife will be and at what time and you be waiting there to get the shots. [/QUOTE]
