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.

I want to photograph a few sporting events locally.

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

70-200 lens

If you shoot inside in uncontrollable lighting situations you will need the 2.8. It's pretty much that simple. F4 fine for lit stage indoors, or studio obviously, but other than that I'm packing my 2.8 indoors.
