Best Nikon Lenses for Sports and Action in 2023

Looking for the best Nikon lenses for sports and action photography? Here is the buying guide for you.

If indoors, you need to freeze the action by selecting a fast shutter speed, but you’re often limited by the low amount of light available. Most lenses don’t have apertures big enough to let in more light so you’re left with raising the ISO speed and this doesn’t always look good on every DSLR.

For outdoor sports photography, light is usually not the problem and even the f/5.6 max aperture lenses will work fine. And there is a wide range of lenses that can be used for outdoor sports and action photography.

Here we’ve compiled a list of lenses that can help you take amazing sports and action photos. Whatever camera you may have and whatever your skill level may be, you’re sure to find something here that fits your needs. Continue reading “Best Nikon Lenses for Sports and Action in 2023”

Development of Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS Lens Announced

Along the new Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G Lens (Pre-Order at B&H Photo/Adorama/Amazon), Sony also announced the development of Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS lens. This new lens is scheduled to be released in early 2024.

Sony is developing a large aperture telephoto lens G Master “Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS” with a focal length of 300mm F value of 2.8  E mount lens for commercialization in early 2024.

In response to further requests from front-line photographers, we are currently developing a large-aperture telephoto fixed focal length lens with a focal length of 300mm and an open F value of 2.8 as the G Master.

This lens is a large-aperture telephoto fixed focal length lens that is frequently used by professionals to meet the needs of shooting sports, news reports, and events. 
The 300mm F2.8 has been in high demand, and although it will take some time. Sony has a lineup of extremely lightweight and high-performance super-telephoto lenses such as the FE400mm F2.8 GM and FE 600mm F4 GM, so we decided to use a similarly lightweight and extremely high-performance lens for the next 300mm F2.8. We are looking forward to it.
