Best Lenses for Shooting a Concert

[Garrett-Grimsley]

Thanks for the feedback. Using a different body is no problem as I've already played with a friends 40D for a while before and know it pretty well, although something like a 5D I have used never.


And looking at the prices for a 5D/5DMKII, they seems kinda pricey for me only using them for one shoot, even though I'll have them for a week.


All in all, if I do get a body I'll have a couple days to toy with it and get to know it. I'm a fast learner. []





I guess I'll stick with the 24/35, 50, 85 primes and the 70-200 plan. May get the 135 just for the heck of it to use outside of the shoot.





*edit


Now that I think about it, a 5DmkII would be awesome to take some video too. Obviously not using the live sound there, but maybe making a compilation with the bands music playing in the background, possibly syncing it together.

I don't have any input on the lens lineup you selected. It looks pretty solid as it is.


The 5D mkII would be sick for the video capabilities. Not to be a pessimist, but I don't think audio synching would work to well. Thetempo is so much different when a band plays live versus a recording. Typically the live production is faster.
