I have approximately $1.5k to spend on lens equipment for my Canon 60D. I want to get some really versatile lenses to use at concerts among other things. I'm looking for the most versatility first with a capacity for low aperture. I don't wanna to be confined!
These are my options:
Canon 85mm f/1.8 $420
Canon 35mm f/2 $600
Canon 40mm f/2.8 $200
Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 $1,300
Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 $300
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 $500
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM $900
I'm leaning towards the 17-55mm f/2.8 and the 85mm f/1.8 because it seems like the 17-55mm f/2.8 would be a good walk around lens, whereas the 85mm f/1.8 could get some killer close-ups. Then I could technically buy the 40mm f/2.8 as well, since I'd be under my budget, just to test it out, since it's tiny and cheap.
What do you guys think? Am I making the right decisions?
I really need something versatile and the 17-55mm range is what I usually shoot in.
I already own a 50mm f/1.4 [ a favorite of many, including me] and a 24mm f/2.8 which I also love.
