Re: Working on an opportunity

No idea if it will come to fruition, but there's a major league soccer all-star type of game here in July. I'm going to try to get a sideline press pass Would 300mm be enough for soccer? 400mm? Would a zoom be more suitable? What range? Collin If you need some inspiration ;-)

I'll use those for inspiration - I'm shooting a 9-year-old girls' tournament in a few weeks. Should be fun! -- Cheers, Bob -Original Message- From: Cotty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 June 2005 08:34 To: pentax list Subject: Re: Working on an opportunity No idea

Re: Working on an opportunity

Hello Collin, Having only shot youth soccer from the sidelines, I can tell you that 400 wouldn't feel too long. The tricky thing is, that the action really moves around the field - likely much quicker than you can. So as the action moves towards you, something as short as 50mm to 85mm might be

Re: Working on an opportunity

I'd bring the 300, the 400, and an 80-200 zoom. That's what I used to shoot with for American football. I think the fields are of similar dimensions. Paul On Jun 5, 2005, at 8:00 AM, Collin R Brendemuehl wrote: No idea if it will come to fruition, but there's a major league soccer

Given my limited selection of lenses I'll probably put my son's A200/4 on the DS and my A100/2.8 on the Super Program. But I'm keeping my eyes open for something longer and fast enough.
