What rent lens would you recommend for shooting college basketball? I gotta tell you if you're gonna do this, you need two lenses. I did my first NBA game with a 70 to 200 and I was so frustrated. You would think with a 7200, you could cover the other end of the court really easily and get nice pictures. You can get OK pictures, but to get those pictures where you get the facial expressions and they're dunking and you're doing all this cool stuff, you need a 300. You will see a lot of the pros with a 300 sitting there like you all have it sitting beside you because you need to be able to pick up the other lens and shoot. You need to have two bodies and two lenses. You're shooting the other end of the court and then you're shooting what happens right literally right in front of you. You're going to want a 24 or a 24 to 70 or something like that. So that would be a good combination.
