Sony 70-200mm 2.8
The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 is my workhorse for football and it’ll be my longest lens all season. It’s lethal if you position smart—bench walking zone for reactions, end zone for celebrations—and all the shots you’re seeing are from a 70-200.
You'll be taken to Amazon to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Killer sideline range for reactions and celebration portraits
- +f/2.8 helps keep backgrounds clean and cinematic
- +Can cover a ton of a football game with smart positioning
Cons
- -Won’t cover every situation like the big super-telephoto lenses
