Let's debate which should be the very first professional lens you purchase as an up and coming sports photographer: the 70-200mm f/2.8? Or the 100-400mm f/4.5-f/5.6.

No matter what manufacturer you - Canon, Nikon, Sony, other - they all make variants of these lenses, so let's explore what's more important in sports photography: range or maximum aperture.
