A New Lens for Better Quality Photos

Help me give my students a new lens to improve their photo quality. This lens is great for sports and the only model that will work well with a new camera model we'll be getting.

My Project

We are so excited to be getting a new space next year, and we'd like to live up to the potential the new space has to offer. That also means investing in some newer, nicer equipment to improve our learning and photography skills.

We'll be getting a few mirrorless camera bodies (the camera of the future), but we don't have any lenses that work with the new models.

We'll use this lens specifically for sports and events we can't get as close to as we'd like. Our current 70-200mm lens is used every singly evening, so I know this lens, designed especially for our new cameras, will be put to great use.

Thanks for your help in equipping our photographers for success.

Grades 9-12
