If it's only a very occasional requirement then I guess you could use your 10-18, but a solution that depends on regular lens swapping is probably not a good one. Also it leaves you with a gap in a very tricky place - a *lot* of indoor event shots would be taken in that 18-24 range. And don't forget the 10-18 is only an f/4.5-5.6 - very slow for use indoors.

That's true, my 10-18 has been useful for some events but the aperture is a little tricky in low light.

Yes I'd rather not be frequently changing lenses. Is there is a particular prime that I could use as a walk around lens? I think the 60mm or the 85mm might be too far...

Lovely picture of a Grey heron by the way, using the 100-400 I wish I had!
