Re: [APML] Nikon AF lenses -slightly OT

Thanks for the tips from Steve and Dave.
I'll be using a Nikon N60 which is OK for what I'm doing but I'm sure there
are better cameras. Can you or others recommend a good flash (one that can
be picked up used on ebay or from KEH) that would work well for football and
basketball. I'm planning on using a 180mm f/2.8 and 300mm f/4 for the
football shots but you are listening to total inexperience here except on a
few basketball games and some easier baseball. I'm sure the night shooting
of high school football will be challenging.
