Which lens ?

[foley]

If your on a VERY tight budget for shooting concert photography (mainly) clubs, and bigger shows (now and than ) .

Which of these lens are the best pick/fit in your opinion?

Let me know if you have used any of these and how it was.

Thanks

i think you would be better with a longer lens. you are trying to capture the performers and at area shows i guess you would be quite a distance from them. I would be packing something with 200mm

Sorry, I forgot to note for the big shows I already have a other lens if I need it for long shot (from the soundboard ) I bring the following with me just in case :
Sigma 70-200mm f/ 2.8 HSM Auto-Focus Lens
and a Sigma 1.4x EX APO Extender .

But usually we can shoot from the front of the stage (for 1-3 songs of course )

Canon 28-105 f/3.5-4.5. $225 US.

I know it wasn't on the list, but you might want to do a side-by-side before choosing.

I note that you have already got a 50/1.4. What's the problem of using it? I would prefer prime lenses because they have greater aperture for your low light clubs photos.
