Basketball Lens Recommendations & Tips:
  • Daylight Lens - 70-500 mm is ideal
  • Under-the-Lights Lens - f2.8 is what you need, at least 70-200mm
  • Under the lights you'll need ISO 1600 to 3200 and higher.
  • Use the lowest ISO that will get you 1/250 sec. or faster shutter speed (ideally 1/500 or faster)
  • Try to anticipate where the next shot will be and focus on that location.
