Hey!

Since I found my love in prime-lenses I really don't like to use my flash on small shows.
So - I got my new 35mm 2.0 a few days ago and tried to do some decent shots at 2 small, badly-lighted clubs.
I used my 85mm 1.8 too - so it's not only 35mm. I'm planning to get the sigma 24mm 1.8 too - do you think, it's good for concerts?

I like #3, 6 and 7 (If I counted right ;))

24/1.8 might be a bit close to 35mm. You could also look at the 20/1.8. Nice lens (but soft in the corners until stopped down)

I thought about the 20mm too, but I heard, it's much worse than the 24mm/28mm. But I'm not the guy who's testing his lenses for days or who's looking at every picture in 100% view, so - maybe I'll give it a try.

I really like the shots! I'm doing my first concert shoot on the 23rd for a friend at the House of Blues in Hollywood. Hope I can capture stuff like this!

They look good to me. The last one is my fave.
