kind of depends on whether indoor or outdoor, and also whether you are a 'soccer parent' wanting the exploits of one player
or a team photographer happy to get team action----and how much is after dark and under the lights as well as how close
to the field you can get.
That said the DA*50-135 is a good contender if the lighting is weak, and you are closer than the Goodyear Blimp. It's got a good
range and its fast-- f/2.8. the issue in sports photography is trying to not have the photo so blurred by action that you can't make anything out.
and when the lighting is lame (as in after school sports) the cheaper lenses don't make it.
I got this lens for my daughter who does year book photography where she teaches highschool, and even though its as fast a zoom as Pentax has we supplemented it with a FA 50 1.4 for volleyball season since she had access to the sidelines.---especially since she was also the coach.
