A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How big of a difference is f/4 and f/2.8 (alien.top)

I want to photograph a few sporting events locally.

2.8 is obviously a lot more expensive, but is it worth it?

It’s noticeable, but the advantage you’ll get shooting sports is the faster shutter speeds you can get. If you’re serious about what you want to photograph it’ll be worth the extra money. Just make sure you’re going to use it enough to make it worthwhile. The last long zoom I bought I ended up selling because I rarely actually needed it.
