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?

You can use a lower ISO or a higher shutter speed.

I've shot volleyball indoors with both lenses. I'd rather use the f/4 because it's lighter. The shutter or ISO difference wasn't worth it.
