rip, what camera/lens are you using?
For sports outside, I use a Nikon D70s w/70-300mm G f/4-5.6 currently. The lens is a piece of crap.
I've got a new 80-200mm AF-D ED f/2.8 coming in the mail, should be here by Wed. It shoots like a 300mm on a digital camera. much better glass than the G series. I picked it up for $710 brand new ($999.00 retail). I really wanted the AF-S, but I couldn't justify the additional $500 for 20% increase in focus speed. Alot of the focusing I do is manual. About the only advantage of the AF-S vs the AF-D is that the AF-S has a motor within the lens, whereas the AF-D uses the camera body motor to focus, which translates into a quieter focus (thus the -S, for Silent)
