Hi there. I've been reading this site since I got into photography in April of last year and I've relied on it heavily for a lot of my lens purchases. I own a Canon Rebel XT/350D with a Canon 50mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8 and a Sigma 28mm 1.8.


My birthday is coming up and I'm looking at getting an L series lens. The two I'm stuck between are the 24-70L f/2.8 and the 70-200L f/2.8 IS. I shoot anything I can stick my lens in front of, but I primarily do a lot of low-light photography; bands, indoor events, outdoor night events so the 24-105 f/4 IS doesn't seem like a good idea. I'm stuck because I feel like the 24-70mm combined with the selection of lenses I have will be redundant, but the IQ of this lens will outshine them. The reach of the 70-200mm is really appealing since the longest lens I have is the 85mm. Any help you professionals could provide would be greatly appreciated!
