Hi, has anyone had any experience with this zoom? How fast is the motor for the autofocus? How well does the stabiliser work? Do I need a tripod to take photos of tennis players stood about 10-20m away from me? Can I use this zoom for portraits too? I am a beginner with a Nikon D5100. So far my photos have been ok but I really would like to try sport phtography and am not sure what zoom to buy. Would appreciate any help you can provide. thanks Rebecca
 
Can't comment technically on the lens I'm afraid but once your shutter speed is getting up to the speed required to shoot and freeze(ish) a tennis player say 250th of a second and faster a tripod would have no real effect, unless you're swinging your camera around like a mad woman! Yes, you can use (pretty much) any lens for portraits. I often use my 70-200mm lens at the 70mm end to shoot portraits. Lovely stuff. :-) If you want to shoot a portrait at the 300mm end you just need to stand a lot further back! :-P
