I have a Nikon d500 and I keep researching and struggling to decide what 70-200 2.8 I should get. There are so many options and generations of basically the same lens.

I'd prefer Nikon or sigma I think. Main function will be youth baseball. I have daytime shots covered but I need a lens that can handle lower light scenarios and still reach out some.

This is the one I have and it is a great lens. There is a newer version (the E instead of the G) and I don't think it is worth the step up in price.

70-200 on the D500 is a great combo for sports. That will give you a great shot at pitcher or batter and probably decent out to 2nd but you will need to crop some there.

I have a 200-500 that I love for day games. But later in the day it's found wanting. The 70-200 I'd like for closer work at baseball, later games and for other projects I do with cheer teams etc.
