Should I get a Teleconverter of a Telephoto Lense for Shooting Sports?
I love taking sports photos, and am looking to make a business out of it. Currently I have a 50-150mm lens and a 18-40mm lens. The 150mm doesn’t quite cut it for most sports, because of the distance from the sidelines to the players (ie: baseball, football, auto racing). So I was wondering what would be a better choice: Buying a 2x teleconverter to help my current telephoto lens, or would a better telephoto lens (say a 300mm) be the best choice?
Teleconverters eat light, so shooting indoors or at night is problematic, so your shooting in the sports venue will be limited.
Then I saw you were thinking of going into business as a sports photographer. That is a totally different ballgame. Now you need a number of things. A couple of long prime lenses (400 mm f/2.8 and 600 mm f/4) as well as a good fast 24-70 mm lens for shooting around the pits and sidelines. Two bodies would be a start and one tripod to mount the 600 mm lens and a monopod for shooting a long the sidelines at American football games or soccer games.
When your write your business plan, include how you expect to fund the new equipment … Nikon or Canon … I just helped a friend run the numbers for her biz proposal with the same lenses and she has had to budget over $30,000 for the cameras, lenses and support gear … this does not include a suitable notebook computer with Photoshop CS4 installed.
