<p>Thank you all for your responses, the info was very helpful. <br>
I realize I should have provided more information so here it goes:<br>
I'm just starting out, coming from a point and shoot background. My budget was $1500. I just got a very good deal on a D5200 with the 18-55mm f/3.5 lens that it comes with for $450.<br>
Now I want to know what lens to buy for shooting sports. I will be shooting youth basketball inside a gym with not so great lighting. Shooting from the sidelines and baselines. I plan to use the pics for both web and print. The prints would be poster size. I will also be doing team portraits. <br>
In the spring I will be shooting youth soccer outdoors. shooting from the sidelines.<br>
If there is a single lens that is suitable for all that I plan on shooting and someone can recommend it that would be great! or if I need to buy different lenses keep in mind my budget is now around $1000<br>
Thanks again!</p>
