Re: Canon 16-35mm f2.8 II vs. Sigma 35mm f1.4 - for concerts & weddings

For concerts, the 16-38 is probably a must. Depending on access to venues, and where you would be shooting from, you may end up very close to the stage. Are you a pro that is able to get press passes to, say, get some photos/access during the first 3 musics? If yes, then you will probably end up shooting upwards towards the band/artists; and then you need a wide angle zoom to get the mandatory shots: extra wide with all performers and idea of the set; normal to less wide to get a bit more detail on the main artist.
