Thanks for the advise.. i started off renting all my lenses (okok rather the 24-105, 70-200) when i was shooting events initially. I have to agree with you, i love the reach for my 24-105! if i'm in the heat of action/event, i usually can get head shots at a relatively reasonable range without having to move too back for a wide shot too. actually this was what made me get e 24-105.
When accompanied with flash, i would say its more sufficient in most situations. The "power" of 430EXII vs 580EX also another factor to consider but i guess would pass this for now..
Was thinking, instead of "abandoning" my lenses, and getting a better body, hmm, how much 'improvement' would results be? I mean if in similar situations, still at f/4, say ISO 3200, how fast shutter can i get? would it roughly be enough to freeze motion?
hai. much to learn.
not to mention my friend was using his 70-200 f/2.8 happily while i sit around and sulk. we were at the 2nd level and he was sniping away while i can't reach! managed to bug him to go downstairs (nearer stage) after a while, but still, moments were missed.
