Went to an Asian festival in Knoxville today and I realized that I need a 2.8 lens that goes out to at least 200mm.
There were a lot of people walking around in their Asian native dress. There were dancers and performers. It was a very colorful event. The problem is that these type of events are usually very crowded, and you can't always get close enough to get a nice shot with a nice out of focus background.
I was using the 70-300mm which is a very nice lens, but at f/5.6 it's hard to get a nice out of focus background when you're not in close taking a shot.
Is anyone using the older 80-200mm f/2.8 lens? Not the push pull but the newer one. I'm just starting to look, so if there are any suggestions to a 70-200 or an 80-200mm f/2.8 would be welcomed.
I'm not spending money on a Nikon 70-200mm VR lens unless I'm all out of other options.
