Alpc said:Never been inside Anfield (should have booked the stadium tour before hand), but since it's smaller than Old Trafford (from what is seen from TV) so the shots could be slightly nearer than those taken at OT.
Had no issues with 18-200mm at OT, so those range should be fine. I think the 400mm or 600mm might have issue?
Anyway, u might too caught up with the game to be taking photos - I was. Then again, it was a 4-0 match against Aston Villa - got a lot of action in that match...
Talking about this makes me wish for another visit..

Bear in mind though that the view will differ massively depending on where you sit......also that you'll be surruonded by people and if you just sit there with an SLR taking photos you may block and piss off some people who go to just watch the match
Thanks! Just came back and had a blast. Pity I had to go with my 5d and not my 50d so at best I could reach up to about 1/3 of the field. I was on row 2!!!!! Great game!
Glad to hear you had a good time there... Your 1/3 of the field was much better than mine! I was way up in the stands that I could only take "wide" view.

Alpc said:I am not sure how you could attach the 2 x converter to a 75-300mm. It should give you greater close up than without if it is possible. As long as the surrounding light is sufficient, you should be able to get some face shot from row 3 without any issue.
