[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 36392, member: 1061"] I have the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. This is the lens I use instead of the lens that typically comes with Nikon kit products. I've been very happy with it, and use it for MMA photography. It's fast and does a great job capturing action, even in low light. That said, I don't think that I would use it for motocross. You need an f/2.8 in the 200-300mm zoom range for the best results. I'm afraid that's going to blow your $500 budget out of the water, unless you get lucky on eBay. Even with a good lens, you're going to be restricted to capturing riders as they near the lights. Shooting fast action in low light is a difficult task, even with the best equipment. [/QUOTE]
