Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about lenses for sports photography

What camera and lens combinations work best for sports photography cards?

Any quality lens setup works great! Popular choices include 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses for versatility, 300mm or 400mm primes for reach, and even 85mm lenses for closer sideline shots. The key is sharp focus and good composition – our printing process handles the rest.

Do you accept photos from different types of lenses for sports photography?

Absolutely! Whether you shoot with telephoto zooms, prime lenses, or even high-quality smartphone lenses, we can create stunning cards. Our platform works with images from any camera system.

What image quality do I need from my sports photography lenses?

We recommend high-resolution images (at least 1200x1800 pixels) for best results. Most modern lenses for sports photography, from entry-level to professional, capture more than enough detail for beautiful cards.

Can I create cards from older sports photos taken with different lenses?

Yes! Whether you shot with vintage telephoto lenses, older digital cameras, or even film that's been scanned, we can work with your images to create quality cards.

How do I price cards as a sports photographer?

Many photographers add a markup to our base pricing when selling to teams or parents. Since our single cards start at $15.99, you have room to create packages that reflect your photography expertise and lens investment.

Do you offer bulk discounts for sports photographers?

Our multi-pack options (up to $49.99) provide better per-card value for larger orders. This works well when you're creating team sets or tournament packages from your lens work.

What's the turnaround time for sports photography cards?

We ship all orders within 2-3 business days. This quick turnaround is perfect for sports photographers who need to deliver cards while the season excitement is still fresh.
