OK I finally saved up and bought me a nice camera. Two things that I want to use it for is for my sons' Friday night football games and also for interior pictures in real estate. The kit came with the standard general purpose lens. What should I look for to make sure I can take good telephoto pictures with poor lighting? Also for interior real estate pictures can I get away with using a fisheye lens adapter ? Thx!!!!

And you can get this lens new for same price at B&H.  B&H  has a solid rep and great customer service.

Well, I found this same lens on clearance for $399 new in the box.   I wouldn't buy from Amazon.  I didn't want to give out my secret where I found it lol

It's been a little bit since I've been on here.  Been playing with my Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 LD AF IF Di Lens I bought a few weeks ago.  Man, this does make a lot of difference in low light conditions.  I know it's not as good of a lens as others out there but I think once I learn how to work it, it's gonna be just fine.  Here's a few snaps of last week.  These were taken at total darkness other than the field lightsIMG_0656.JPGIMG_0692.JPG

I also found out I why I couldn't upload pictures to this site.  I have Windows 10 and was using Explorer Edge.  If I use the classic Internet Explorer, it works fine

My lord I don't know what else you would want in a lens of this type.  This is not only a good lens it is a great lens.  I rate it second to my EF 70-200mm f2.8L II.  And buddy that puts it way up there.  Smiley Happy  I love it.

Yes, I must say I am begining to love this lens especially compared to the cost!
