Hi All....
I discovered this site yesterday, and then didn't leave for about 4 hours. So I had to sign up.
Looks like a hive of activity so hopefully I'll be spending much more time in here.
Anyway, to get to the point, I've been chancing it now for about 6 months with the 350d (Rebel, I think it's called in the US) and the nasty ef-s lens! I've got the 50mm 2.5 macro, as well as the 70-200mm f2.8 L IS Canon.
I've just ordered the EoS 5D and this arrives next week, but I can still change my mind on the lens.
I love the 2.8 L lens, and was thinking I should get the 2.8 24/70, however, after reading so many different interesting points on here, I'm now confused.
I need a good street lens and generic all rounder. I carry all my gear with me anyway and don't mind lugging the stuff around and changing lenses etc. but the f4L lens seems to be a bit of a favourite amongst some of you in here.
So (finally getting to the point) do I opt for the f4 L with IS or the 2.8 L as I do a lot of live band shoots and thinking the 2.8 in darker venues would work out better, or...........?
I've got some live shots (such as Portishead, Level 42 and many others) on www.myspace.com/thebassmonster (in the pics section) and this might give you an idea of shoots I’ve already done and then help which lens would be better suited.
Thanks for reading all of this and I look forward to any help>
Many thanks,
John
