choosing the right lense for action sports?
hey, i just aquired a nikon f70 slr camera, I really enjoy it, but i want
to start taking some pics of snowboarding and in the spring skateboarding and mountain biking. right now the lense that is on my camera is a AF NIKKOR 28-70mm, is this good enough, any recommended lenses?
I just answered a similar question in the "camera" section on Yahoo! Answers. But for someone with a D80 and he was using his camera for his kids playing sports. Both are going to have alot of movement and action, so you want to capture the action in a still frame with out the blur.
If its for sports and action shots. A good one for that type of stuff with out breaking your budget is the
AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED
AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED
both are good for action shots and have fast AF so you can get the snap shots of snowboarders flying over you with out the blur.

Nikon also makes a 70-300mm VR lens that will work just fine on your camera and is excellent for shooting filed sports (football, soccer, track and field and yes those other items you mentioned) The longer the lens the better. That way you can frame the shot in the camera and use the whole sensor rather than having to crop later using a computer program.

Actually, those are sports you can get quite close to, so the lens you have will get you some pretty good results.
I’d add a 70-200 or 70-300 and that would be a nice kit.
