So I'm going to the Packers-Bengals tilt this weekend, and decided I wanted to rent some glass for the trip. I was looking at my options and reading through others experiences, and have narrowed it down to the 28-300L and the 100-400L.

The Packers website says no glass over 12 inches, and these fit under the requirement.

My question - for those with experience - what would be the better fit? Would my sigma 70-200 be okay for the need? I was also thinking of renting a wide angle.

Thanks for all of the help!

Where are your seats?

I'd take the 100-400 and your 18-55 for some wide shots. I was in the second row at the Eagles-Vikings Wildcard game last year with my 70-200 and it was pretty short for most things on the field.

my vote would be for the 100-400L.

They are in the endzone, in row 40. I think the 100-400 will be much needed. Would it be worth getting a wide angle too? Figured that might give some unique shots.

40 rows back? longest lens you can take.

Def the 100-400.

An UWA or fisheye would make for a few cool shots.
