Re: which new lens

What you are looking for, good high ISO performance, is going to be hard to find with an APS-C camera no matter what lens you use. I suggest you move up to the 6D along with the EF 24-105mmL lens. This will exceed any lens you add to a T5i for overall IQ and especially high ISO performance. The EF-24-105mmL f/4 lens will perform very well on the 6D and you will get an honest f/4 where any lens you put on an APS-C camera will take a hit due to their crop sensors. On your T5i a f/2.8 lens will perform like a f/4.5 lens. On a full frame sensor like the 6D has it will perform as advertised and it has outstanding high ISO performance.

The EF 24-105mmL will allow you to take everything from landscape to mild telephoto shots with very good results-. An EF 24-105mm on a full frame camera is the equivalent of 16-65mm lens on your T5i. Also, the 6D will allow you to get the most from whatever lenses you buy in the future and will take your EF 50mm f/1.8 to a new level for shooting in low light conditions. Plus, the 6D and the EF 24-105mmL will likely weight less than your T5i and a f/2.8 telephoto. You can pick up a 6D and this lens for around $1,200-$1,300. With the 6D adding an EF 70-200mmL f/4 IS would be a great lightweight lens to compliment the 24-105mm.
