For your indoor events they do a kit with a 17-85 IS lens which is very good and usually comes with an attractive price tag for the kit. For the baseball something longer I would imagine but you need to try them in a shop because some of the lenses can be quite bulky and heavy and may not be suitable for action events. The lower the F number the faster they focus but the bigger and heavier they are too.
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.

If you dont need real wide angle and have a fair budget the 24-70 f2.8 L and the 70-200 f2.8 L make an excellent combination. The link you supplied is an 28-300, this is IMO one of sigmas lower end lenses, what you get is a very versatile focal range but lenses with a wide zoom range usually compromise quality for convenience IMO, I however dont know anything about that lens so cant offer an opinion on its optical quality. The Lenses MTF charts will be available on the Sigma site which is a good indication of what its optical performance is like.
Hello Radlafx.. I saw your link tho.. and since you found that Sigma one.. then i do reccommend you to go with TAMRON.. LOOK AT THIS ONE!! OR LOOK AT THIS ONE!! And for the wide one.. Why don't you get a WIDE/FISH EYE! with 1 or more X zoom? Extender for those lenses :) Wish you the best JOE

I am planning on getting a EOS 30D but don't know which lens to get. I'll be shooting events with fast action (i.e. bar-mitzvahs, weddings, etc) and baseball at night. :b_confused: P.S. for weddings I'm just a backup (for now at least).
Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...
I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP
