silvia_ros Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Anyone know of a good versatile and not so expensive lens for shooting boxing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric friedemann Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 BTW, the Sinatra shot is from this interview with Sports Photography God Neil Leifer: http://bermangraphics.com/press/leifer.htm Leifer's overhead image of Cleveland Williams on the matt with Ali walking to his corner is one of my two or three favorite sports photographs of all time.

brady_dillsworth Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 A 50mm f-1.4 would be great. The perspective lends itself well to the range of the ring and the speed is great, even when stopped down a bit. All of these were just made with a 50mm f-1.4.

yakim_peled1 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 How far will you be from the ring? I recently went to a concert and was very far away. The only lens I had was 300/4 IS and it was too short. Happy shooting , Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
