would this be a good attachment lens for filming skateboarding or skiing?

If you are looking to get more in your shot or footage. Meaning more volume. It will give you about 2 more inches of view depending on how far away you are taking shots or footage from.

Hi Jackson, i have found this lens performed well for a wide angle of view 11mm while shooting video. It was especially useful for shooting a stage production from up close. I used the lens with a Lumix GX1 camera with good results for the price. If you didn't need the wide angle then i would recommend the Lumix F1.4 25mm lens which gives better results and has low light(indoors) capabilities

I depends on how far you are zoomed in are. If you have about half the rink in view if would probably work fine. Also, it depends on how fast they play with the back and forth. The rotating head is made for smooth moving film shots and clicking left and right rapidly to follow fast action just won't be that functional.

I used this mainly for street photography. I used it with a 60d. I like it because it's a very fast lens. This is also my go-to lens for vacation. I won't be able to give you an honest opinion on Northern lights.

yes! I used this lens for a graduate school project. I had to take pictures of various items at different distances and this lens worked the best. It is a workhorse and would be my choice!

I would not recommend this lens to be used for any type of racing action. The ISO has to set to such a high level to allow enough light to enter though the lens it would make very difficult to capture a moving object like a race car. Plus you have to use a manual focus it will not work with a the automatic focus. I have found that it very good of taking photos of nature on a very sunny day with the use of a monopod, that is what I bought for and I am very pleased with it. I hope this helps.

I had to add home made spacers to get the view finder up to the screen it was a little short but with some extra long m4 screws and a piece of modified aluminum it will work just fine. Great for video In the outdoors. Love it for filming skate.

This lens would be great for baseball and basket ball, but may be a bit too zoom-y for wrestling. If you want someone more versatile about the same price you could get the 24-70mm

I would think so. It has a good focus setting and it's a really good quality. I've never really done that specifically but I love the camera so it should be good

That's pretty much the point of this lens - sports. Fast focus and f/2.8 should allow a fast enough shutter speed to capture action in most situations.

It's quite fast - worked well for us for our kid's basketball games (amateur), but I'd suspect would probably need something better for professional/high-end sports enthusiasts. The lens pack is well-worth the options; however again they are "starter" lenses - not high-ends/super-pro type lenses.

It probably would work, all you do is peel a sticker off a magnetic ring and the lens attaches to it. Not the most stable but it works

I bought this lens just for that purpose. Takes excellent photos, even with the 2x converter. That is the setup I use with my Nikon D7000 for my Son's lacrosse games. Obviously does very well on sunny days. No regrets!

Yes, this will work fine on that body, but be aware of the limitations of this lens. It's fun for casual use, but it's not always the best or most practical lens choice for many applications.

Hi--Im not a professional but I've used the lens when hiking to get close ups of geological markers, flowers, etc., and it's fine. The images are sharp. I think you'll be OK with this lens.

It could work for action shots but might be better for outdoor sports vs indoor. The lens itself is fast enough for good indoor photo's but you might not get the results you are looking for. I tried using it for my daughters graduation which was in a gymnasium. Got some good close up photo's but because of the 100mm lens you have a narrow field of view.

Yes. It will be perfect on that model! Keep in mind that you have to get quite close to the subject matter for the lens to focus correctly. Enjoy!
