Hi Folks!

I teach design & visual communications at a high school tech center and just learned that I have a little less than $2000 to buy some equipment. We use Nikon D60's and I have an (extremely small) assortment of cheaper macro and zoom lenses for my students to use. I would like to buy as decent a zoom lens as I can for that amount of money so that my students can take turns shooting local sporting events. I'm fishing for suggestions.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
