Photography Question

Professional Football Photography


What type of equipment do you see professional photographers using during professional football games? I would imagine it is all digital cameras with autofocus telephoto lenses. What size/brand are those enormous lenses you see mounted to the cameras on the sidelines? Cost? Apertures?

  Generally, Canon or Nikon, but others as well. They use a range of lenses - from wide-angle zooms to tele primes. The enormous lenses are 200 f/1.8, 300mm f/2.8, 400mm f/2.8, 500 f/4, and 600 f/4.
