Hello all. Could use some advice. I shoot a lot at music clubs, and generally am pretty close to the stage, if not right in front. I currently use a 50mm 1.8 (and sometimes borrow a friend's 50mm 1.4). I want to add another lens for show shooting, and my 17-55 2.8 just isn't cutting it in the dim club settings. So i've been considering a new lens. but can't decide whether to go longer or shorter. Both have their advantages. Right now I'm leaning toward the 85mm 1.8, and just using my point and shoot (an S90) to grab any wide angle shots I need. This is for a 7D.
These shots are typical of my distance from the stage. All are with a 50mm and shot at f/1.8. First two on a Rebel XSI, third one on a 7d. Any opinions appreciated. Thanks.
