[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 352497, member: 13090"] You're not going to like the answer because such a lens will require two things: 1. Lots of focal length and, 2. A relatively fast aperture. That combination does not come cheaply, assuming you care about image quality... It wouldn't be my first choice but maybe the [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-70-300mm-4-5-5-6G-Digital-Cameras/dp/B000HJPK2C/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-1"]Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6[/URL] if you can find $600 or so. It sorta depends on how much magnification you want... If you could get by with a 200mm lens, that would shave the cost considerably but give you less "reach". Could you possibly use a monopod at these games? Used properly a monopod would be a cheap way to add a *lot* of stability to your shooting allowing you to use lower shutter speeds and/or ISO. A good monopod with a decent head can be had for $100 or so. You *could* do it for less than that, really, but you gotta have some standards. [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
