[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 196875, member: 13076"] I would go with a used 300 mm f/4. You want to be as close as possible to the action. I know someone asked this before and optically a fixed prime tele will give you just so much more clarity and f/4 will probably be faster than most tele zooms going to that focal length, meaning better low light performance. If you do a search on Ebay for 300 f4 nikon you'll see some great deals in that price range (either manual or AF). If you are focusing close to infinity then AF isn't really essential assuming your camera has a bright enough viewfinder. [/QUOTE]
