So, if I got that right, after asking about a $1,300 camera equipment
purchase and getting the "You're effin nuts" look, the next step is to
make a $3K purchase?
The fact that I can almost see your logic means my LBA is in a very
advanced stage indeed.
Muhuahaahaa!

A K-5 will do more to improve your keeper rate than will the lens upgrade. It's
the better autofocus that you need. Of course a 60-250 and K-5 would be ideal.
I really think that's what you need :-).

If I make half an effort, I can come away with three to five shots per game
that I'm more or less happy with after a little processing. There's another ten
to fifteen that I'll post out to the parent group. They're not likely to be as
critical as me, they're happy to have shots of their kid, and I assume they're
just happy someone else is taking pictures so they don't have to ;)
The problem is, SHE sees the fifteen to twenty "post worthy" shots per game and thinks
they're "fine". This means that there's virtually no need for me to spend a grand on a
new faster telephoto lens.
In the back of my mind, buried deep under years of obsessive desire for
enablement, I know that a new lens won't make my photos *That* much better.
It's not the lens that screws up most of my shots...
But, of course, LBA is strong.
The 60-250 calls.
But it might be the 55-300 that answers.
