Which Lens for Bar Gigs?

[AzMandella]

I was thinking of getting a low light medium telephoto lens for shooting bar bands. As far as apeture they are too close to call but what about image quality ?

What do you consider "medium telephoto"?

Perhaps you should consider either the 85 f1.8 or 135 f2.0L - both are excellent lenses that fall squarely into the medium tele category.

Considering you have a 24-70mm, I think you should look for the 135mm f/2L. Something cheaper is the 100mm f/2, not sure of it's quality but I assume it's about the same as the 85mm f/1.8.
