Hey guys. Major buying decision ahead for a dyed-in-the-wool canonista, and I could use some advice.
As an event photographer on a currently somewhat thin budget, I've nevertheless had my eye on that allegedly gold standard lens but have held off because of the (to me) heavy price tag. There are places to rent lenses online of course, but at what point does renting become impractical?
I've read that some clients won't even take you seriously unless you show up with this lens in your bag. But is the gold standard really the only thing that gets you business? Honestly I've gotten great results with lesser lenses.
