One of my reasons for shooting yesterday’s softball game was to see if I could get away with taking only my Nikon 70-300mm VR to Japan and Korea this summer where I plan to attend several professional baseball games. My other option is to take my 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 1.7X teleconverter. The problem is those two combined weigh more than twice as much as my 70-300mm and they take up more space in my luggage.

The 70-300mm passed the test in sunny conditions. Unfortunately, most of the games I will go to in Korea and Japan will probably be at night and/or indoors. I’m still leaning towards the 70-300mm though.
