Gear debate
I have now saved up enough money for some new glass or some lighting all my gear is in my sig. I have around a 700 dollar budget but it is a little bit flexible. Obviously i wouldnt want to blow it on one item but if i do its not the end of the world.
I shoot mostly highschool basketball and wrestling but I want to start looking into little league baseball. I was looking at the ab800s with accessories or a canon 70-200 f4l. Let me know what you think....

Re: Gear debate
Well, I would say to get some AB's for Basketball and Wrestling, but those sports are pretty much over. Not sure you'd get any use out of them until fall.

Re: Gear debate
I'd say go for the 70-200 for spring sports coming up. Then save up for some lighting for the winter.

Re: Gear debate
The 70-200 f4 L is super sharp, and would be a fine lens for baseball during the day.

Re: Gear debate
I would sell the 70-300mm, 28-135mm, 50mm f1.8 etc and get used 70-200mm f2.8 non IS. I wouldn't find any of those useful for sports.
