Originally posted by pkboy When do you decide to switch lenses, just during timeouts and shoot with it til the next one or do you have certain shots you want to get in mind then switch out after you get it?
I mean watching the game you feel the ebb and flow of momentum so I guess that helps
It varies since I do shoot a number of basketball games. Most nights I will take the 70-200 and the 28-75. I decided ahead of time to take the Rokinon and switched to it during a time out and then switched back while they were on the far end of the court. I do have a regular K1 as well as my K1Mii so occasionally I will take both and have the Tamron 28-75 on one and the Sigma 70-200 on the other. My most fortunate switch came in a game last year when I switched to the 28-75 late in overtime durng a timeout. I sat on the floor near the basket and got this shot in the final 1.6 seconds of the shot that won the game. You can see the scoreboard in the background as we trailed by 1.
Sometimes you just get lucky. Tuesday night I had the 70-200 on the camera and followed the opposing player after he stole the ball and I thought there might be a dunk. Instead I got a shot of our player blocking a shot.
