tonygale Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 The 70-200/2.8 GM II is fast and awesome, I would look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonSmith Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Not cheap but I photographed concerts at the SAP Center in San Jose as the team photographer for the Sharks and the arena photog - many acts making you shoot from sound board area - thus a 400mm f/2.8 is optimal. I would also use a 1.4x converter. Not cheap but will certainly put you up there with your competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IraBlock Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Another good lens is the Sony 135mm f/1.8 lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
