I am attending my daughter's college graduation and wish to take some photos at the ceremony, which will be held at teh Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts. The center is used for hockey games, concerts and other events. I cannot tell you how large it is, or the angle i will have when i witness the graduation, but i suppose it will be theater seating.
Now, here is my question: i have a D7000 and want to know what lenses you would recommend to use. I am considering
renting lenses for the event. I own a 35, 50, 105 and, the very mediocre 18-105. What would you use to capture that
wonderful moment when your special someone has the degree conferred upon her? would you rent a telephoto? what do you suggest?

A hockey rink is about 200 x 85 if seating goes back say another 100 ft you could be 300 ft away or as close as 50 ft. Call borrows and ask then for a recommendation.

thanks, i am going to look at the 70-200/2.8 vs. 4
The second lens is lighter and, for someone who likely will be teary-eyed, excited, the VR on both lenses might be useful as well!
