Getting a good telephoto lens for sports photography but not really sure if macro lens can do sports photography anot.If can,can someone suggest a cheap tele for my D40.My budget is 500 and will be looking for second hand market.Third party is fine
As many have mentioned, macro lens focusing is bit slow. Some model have a "limiter", which may improve the focusing speed. Borrow or rent one to try for yourself.
Besides the Nikkors mentioned, a used Tamron SP90 with built-in motor, which will AF on your D40, may be within your budget.

most macro lenses do not have good maximum aperture, but that is no issue, you can always wait for good light
there are of course exceptions, but firstly, sports photogrpahy generally needs LONGER FOCAL LENGTHS
there aren't that many macro lenses that are so long in the first place, and even if have, i suspect they will cost a big bomb, you can forget it :bsmilie:
