best canon lens kit image
landsteine
I'm going to be filming/photographing a concert next month and am looking to find the best canon(or at least compatible with a canon camera) lens for the job.I already have the kit lens and the 50mm 1.8. I'm looking for something specifically for the shots that are slightly more at a distance.
Answer
85mm f/1.8 (or f/1.2 if it's in your budget)
135mm f/2
70-200mm f/2.8 IS
85mm f/1.8 (or f/1.2 if it's in your budget)
135mm f/2
70-200mm f/2.8 IS
Should I buy a Canon Lens or a comparable third party lens for my Canon EOS digital?

Does anyone with a Canon EOS digital camera use a third party telephoto lens?
If so:
1. Which lens do you use?
2. From which company did you buy it?
3. Do you like it?
I plan to use the lens for photographing events around my community (rodeo, softball, etc.). What I am trying to decide is whether to buy a Canon lens or a less expensive third party lens.
Answer
To answer your questions:
Yes, in addition to some canon lenses (100mm macro, 50mm 1.4) I use a non-canon lens for my primary walk around lens.
1. I have the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8.
2. I bought it from Amazon.com most likely. I generally either buy from Amazon or B&H Photo & Video.
3. I like the Tamron lens just fine. I bought it mainly as an upgrade to the kit lens that came with camera. Generally the kit lenses only top out at f4.0 or f5.0 for their widest aperture and that can be limiting if you want to do low light photography without flash. I found that to be the case and I wanted to upgrade to an all-purpose lens that was faster than that.
Unfortunately, some of the Canon lenses at f2.8 can be a bit spendy (but worth every penny I'm sure) so I settled in the middle ground with this Tamron lens which had a good reputation. I've been pleased with the results. While not comparable to "L" glass (but what mid-range lenses do?), it produces excellent images with good sharpness and color that unless you're a hard-core pixel peeper you'll have nothing to complain about.
For the purposes you're talking about, it would make a fine all purpose lens particularly if you have to take photos at indoor events without a separate flash unit.
