There are questions from time to time about using the K100D for sports and whether people need to get the more expensive fast lenses out there. I just got the DA50-200 and am finding it a great lens for sports. I have gien up some reach, from my Tamron 28-300, but the quality seems to be much better to me. I may alternate throughout the year and try them both. But, the lightness and quickness of the 50-200 make me love it!
I fixed the shutter at 1/350 sec, which gave me f6.7 on most of the shots because it was very cloudy last Saturday here. Mainly the range was in the 160-200mm range. I was either in the stands or on the sideline. From the sideline, there is a fence, a short area, then the field, so I could not be right on them)

I like this one also. I may try spot exposure on these turf fields. If the sun comes out, it shines off the fake grass. (I was also in the stands on this shot)
