I would like to have ago at sports photography and need advice, I've come across this lens Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L USM. It's cheap enough for me to buy but was wondering how it would perform. I can't afford the fester lenses are there any other alternatives around this sort of price (£500).

Thanks.

it would perform well in good lighting although a little limited in reach.. however in winter when the lighting is poor due to weather and darker skies it probably wont perform as well (wont let you get a good enough shutter speed) as you would need f2.8
 
for a bit more reach around the same price without losing image quality try the Sigma 100-300mm f/4, as KIPAX says though f/2.8 is needed for poor light, either that or a D3s
