After taking a quick look at the NBA web site, I noticed the pictures look like they were taken with the aid of a flash. Is the use of a flash acceptable in this sport or are the arenas wired with flash systems in the rafters? What is the best lens focal length? I was thinking of bringing a 35 summicron, 90mm Elamrit, and a 60mm Elmarit. Is there any point in bringing longer lenses. I have a Leica 400 2.8, Tamron 300 2.8, or a Leica 105-280 4.2 to choose from. As for cameras, I will use an R7 with motor for the longer shots and a R8 with winder for under the net and close shots. I wish the R8 had a motor available. Regards, Robert
