I currently have a T3i, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8L and a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. I had been planning on upgrading to a 70D soon but my Wife, who is a stay at home Mom that has (FINALLY!!!) been bitten by the photography bug, has talked me into waiting a little longer for a 6D. Can you believe it?
Of course, my only "dilemma" is that my 70-200mm f/2.8L is my only lens will work on a full frame. So, I was thinking I'd get it bundled with the 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens but being my primary motivator in getting a full frame is for low, available light, shots of my very active three little ones, I wonder if I should go for a 2.8 aperture instead. I've even considered just getting a fast prime initially and getting a zoom later but I don't think my Wife would like that. Her hate for the 30mm f/1.4 is only outpaced by the animosity she had for the nifty fifty. I know with my lighting setup it shouldn't matter but she doesn't like to fool with it and, in her defense, it does change the kid's behavior when we use it, usually killing the moment.Any thoughts?
Edit: I should add that the other lens I'm considering is the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD. I've been very happy with my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and the 2.8 aperture combined with VC is an exciting idea.
Edit #2: I just realized this should have been in the Lenes subforum.
