[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 65795, member: 4399"] "Macro" is the industry term for essentially close up photography. Nikon likes to use the word "micro" to refer to it's macro lenses, not sure why, but they mean the same thing. For sports many prefer "fast" lenses, Aperature down to 2.8 on the expensive zooms. The ideal "fast" zooms for sports are expensive. If you want to be around or below $500, you are looking at zooms starting at f3.5-4.5. These are a bit slower, but you can crank up your ISO to compensate and still get great shots. The most commonly recommended in this price range is as follows, $200-nikon 55-200 vr $400-nikon 55-300 vr $450-Tamron 70-300 vc $580-nikon 70-300 vr The vr and vc are very important, do not buy the cheaper versions. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
