Re: Upgrading from Tamron 17-50 VC for event photography

Depending on the clubs, you might be OK with a fast, wider prime like the 35F2. You didn’t mention what the other events were that you photograph. The 24-105F4L is a good lens, but the 60D won’t do so well above ISO 1600. If you are OK with flash, that is always an option. You won’t need to run ISO too high. I found the 60D was good at ISO800.

There are less expensive options, unless you really need a zoom. I am thinking of 24, 35, 40, and 50 mm Canon primes.
