Lens for paintball.

Hi Guys,
I am going to be shooting some paintball action over the summer and I am wondering what lenses I should be looking at for my Rebel XT. There will be a mix of low light indoor work and sunny outdoor work. I don't have $10k for lenses so I am looking for cheaper options. Is there one lens that could be used for both situtations or do I need two different ones?

i use 70-200mm f/2.8L non IS with a 1.4X on a 30d also a 10-20 UWA on a XT. You can use any lens u want a short focal length means you're gonna have to do some running.

There's an anecdote:

I would suggest a 70-200 f2.8 L non IS for fast indoor action. Then a 28-300 L for outside if you can't get close zoom in and if your real close go wide with out changing lenses or cameras.

I'd use this one...at least it's already broken in for you.

Holy crap! Did it only damage the filter? Did you get a picture!??!

different user's pic. same username as the website there. Posted a while back. Not sure what all happened. I think it was just the filter; you can tell the inside elements are ok.

yeah alot of paintball photographers use the same equpiment

usually the lense they use are the 70-200 f/4 for normal but the professionals use the 70-200 f/2.8

I can show you some pictures from a 70-200 f/4 if you would like.

Thanks for all your help guys. Azneric3, I'd love to see a couple of shots.
Thanks again.

Does anyone make a filter specifically designed to resist impacts?

Broken UV filters, Paint splatters lens hoods and filters... Are you sure you want to do this?
