what lens for AVIVA Singapore Open badminton tournament?

[Nikon79]

Any suggestion?
I think the indoor stadium will be pitch dark except for the courts
Shld be needing some high speed zoom lens
any other suggestion?

135 f2, 200 f2, 300 2.8.

much chear alternative is the sigma 70-200 f2.8. If not, no other lenses can do it. Can forget about taking indoors with an F4 or slower lens.

how close would you be?

In my experience, f2.8 may not be enough.My fav was 85mm f1.4/f1.8 on a cropped body.The rest are too ex except for the 105/135mm f2 DCs

Bring in a compact with 12X zoom and hope for the best.

Photography was actually allowed for this event but no flash photography which will distract the players.
