![]() ![]() An f2.8 lens is 1-1/3 stops faster than f4.5 and 2 full stops faster than f5.6. Its major advantages over the 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 are the f2.8 constant aperture and its faster speed. ![]() I suggest looking at the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 IF-ED lens. I shoot daytime field sports with a Sigma 150-500 mm that is only $999, new. You can also consider 3rd party lenses, Sigma makes a 70-200 mm f/2.8 that is only $800, but again 200mm is more a court sports lens rather than a field sports lens. They make the AF 80-200 f/2.8 that only costs $1300 and you could use the money you save to get a D90 instead of the D5000 and not be limited to only AF-S lenses since the D90 has a lens focus motor in the body. So, you make a 12 MP image and throw 6 MP away when you crop.Īs far as shooting at dusk you'll need to have a fast lens (f/2.8 at least) that also has reach. You can use a 200 mm lens but you will have to crop the images to increase the subject scale. To capture any sort of subject image scale when capturing field sports images you'll find a 300 mm lens to be about the minimum. There are times the photographer needs to manually focus rather than auto focus.Īt any rate to be able to auto focus on a D5000 you need to select lenses that are AF-S, or AF-I an older stye of lens.ĪF stands for auto focus and the S means the lens has a Silent Wave focus motor in it. Virtually every Nikon lens made since 1959 is compatable on a D5000.īack in the day cameras didn't have computers and things like auto focus so some of the older lenses may not meter or may not auto focus. Click to expand.First regards lens compatability. ![]()
