Is the 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikkor a Good Lens for Rallies?

The 14-24/2.8 Nikkor is a really great lens, but its range is from wide to ultra-wide. The best use of this type lens, or any lens for action-shots, is to try to fill the frame with the subject and its immediate surroundings. To do this you must get very close with w.a. lenses! Usually photographers do this with longer lenses. If you think this way, then the 24-70/2.8 (an excellent lens) is good for middle distance, and the 70-200/2.8 (an excellent lens) is good for greater distance or to focus on details from the middle distance. A detail such as a face, head and shoulders shot, front wheels, etc.

What type of rally? You will typically get closer to the riders in a bicycle rally than you will to an auto or motorcycle rally!
