What is a good action shot lens?




btj288


I have a Canon EOS D60 and i am looking to shot action shots and i currently have a 28-135mm lens. Would this lens be good for actions shots (football mainly) or do i want to get a zoom lens and which zoom lens is good and compatible with a Canon EOS D60?


Answer
The Canon D60 uses all EF and EF-S lenses. For action shots, you'll want to get a fast lens (small aperture number), and for sports you'll want to get the most zoom you can get.

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM would be a good choice

Another good choice would be the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM

You may also want to consider the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (this is the lens I currently use)

have a 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 will a 70-300mmf/2.8 make clearer pics


Answer
While all the above answers are correct, they did not help you determine the root cause of blur.

That is caused by slow shutter speeds. The longer the lens length, the faster the shutter speed you will need to prevent blur caused by camera or subject movement.

Here is a sample of a photograph shot using a 300 mm f/2.8 lens with the camera set to 3200 ISO. You will notice that the shutter speed is fast enough to prevent most of the blur

All this to say that the 70-200 mm f/2.8 would be the best choice of the two
