rent a 70–200 f/2.8 or stick with my 55–250 for a RB Salzburg match?
question for people who shoot sports more seriously
i’ve got touchline media credentials for two FC Red Bull Salzburg preseason matches and i’m trying to decide if renting a lens is actually worth it
my setup:
canon r10
ef-s 55–250mm f/4–5.6 is stm
match:
3pm kickoff (daylight)
6:30pm game later in a bigger stadium (lower light)
rent option:
70–200mm f/2.8 for like €40–€70
is it actually worth renting the 70–200 in this situation or is the difference not that big in daylight at touchline level?
main goal is just to come back with a solid set for my portfolio and not miss key shots, not really trying to overgear it
would you rent or just stick with the 55–250?
for context, i’m 15 years old and will be in austria for a month. i’ll be shooting multiple games for different clubs
