Concert lens strategy
Oct 19, 2008
|
I'm getting more and more into indoor concert photography, and have had the pleasure of renting some pretty fine glass to accompany my 5D such as the 16-35L, 24-70L and 70-200 2.8IS. I have yet to use prime lenses for concerts but I understand they can be quite useful given their wide apetures.
My dilemma is cash I've conceded to the fact that my lens lineup will grow slowly. I currently only own the 24-105L, which gets me bye in well lit venues but has its obvious limitations being f/4.
So, the lens lineup paths I've considered for the immediate future are as follows:
Option 1)
keep the 24-105L
add two primes, from either the 50/1.4, 85/1.8 or 100/2.0
Option 2)
keep the 24-105L
add a Sigma 70-200/2.8 to help me on the long end
Option 3)
trade the 24-105L for a 24-70L
add a fast long prime, maybe the 135L or 200/2.8
Long term, I figure I will eventually settle into the 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 threesome plus a prime or two, but I need to stick to reality for now.
Any thoughts on what would be the most versatile option for the mid term?
