Lens for Handball?

Someone here on POTN has recently shot handball?
i've found no post on it. i guess could be similar to shooting basket.
i'm thinking a glass for a combo with the 1D4.. the 300 could be too long.
finally considering: Canon 70-200mm F4 - Tamron SP 70-200mm F2.8 VC - Sigma 85mm f/1.4
stabilization could be not a deal as you know guys, for freezing the ball i'll use fast shutter.
pardon my poor english
p.s. pictures welcome..

You might bring both of your 70-200 lenses. All depends how well lit the courts are if it's indoors. You might get away with the f/4 if it's well lit, and the 1D4 can shoot quality images with a high ISO.

I shot handball at the Special Olympics World Games this summer. You are correct that a 300 was to long. I used my 70-200 for 95% of my shots. I had the 300 with me so the other 5% were with it.

Unlike basketball there are no shots to take from across the length of the court. That's why the 300 didn't work for me. The shots I did get with it were mostly jube.

My pictures are in this gallery if you are interested in looking.

Thx for the tip Bob Btw, nice handball shots. Great combo the 1D4 & the 70-200!
