[QUOTE="skater, post: 394128, member: 19158"] My wife and I are going to the NHL Winter Classic in DC on 1/1, and it just hit me that I could rent a lens. I currently have the Nikon 55-200 f4-5.6 VR, which would probably do the job...but, hey! Restriction: The lens can't be longer than 8". (And, truthfully, I'd like to stay under that to avoid an issue. Going to the game is more important than getting my 7.99999" long lens through the gate. And we might be metro'ing, so if I do run into a problem at the gate, I won't have anywhere to put the rented lens during the game.) The game is scheduled to start at 1:00 in the afternoon, so it should be in mostly daylight, but probably some light in the later hours (hockey games are traditionally about 3 hours long, sunset is around 4:50 p.m.). Of course there's always the possibility of overtime and even a shootout, during which I'll probably be freezing my buns off. I'm shooting with a D7000. Can anyone suggest a good lens to rent for this event? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
