I am starting my fund to purchase a new lens. I recently shot a theatre show using just my 50mm f1.8. That was ok, and the image quality was fine, but my legs were knackered afterwards because to get full stage shots I had to be at the back of the auditorium, and to get close ups of performers I needed to go to row 2 of the seats. So, I was back and forth all the time.
I have a 40D.
I think I may be able to sort something in the region of £300, but it'll take me a couple or three months.
So, is there a decent, fast (f2.8?) zoom that would cover the range I am talking about?
I klnow I'm not getting "L" lenses
, but beyond that I get confused with the other stuff, what is good and what isn't.
Cheers
