which lens would you use

im shooting in a night club that has the disco ball multi colored lights strobes, the works, i have brought my 24-105 and used a flash and shot in PROGRAM( i hate saying that)
i then have shot with my 50mm 1.2 and played with AV without a flash as well as used flash in ETTL
tonight i was thinking of bringing the 85mm 1.2 and shooting without a flash and shooting in RAW, if you had this arsenal, and you wanted to roam the club lightweight, which camera lens set up would you use? and why? i prefer the shots where you catch people and the band in the ambiance light.
any help would be greatly appreciated

85L

85l, low light is the only use I've found for mine

this will be its madien voyage in low light coupled onto the 5DmarkII

i would use an ultrawide lens and off-camera flash, exposing for ambient.

i"ll bring the flash along for just in case shots

For a club I would think you would want wide? At least I would.

I would also try to get flash off camera.

I got this for $15 bucks

Narlus, I'm looking to capture shots like this except a bit more close up

Tried and tested and worked everytime for me. Never had a unworthy photo.

i really don't have a problem with my on camera flash, i shoot with a great dufusor, at least i think its great

i have radio poppers if i wanna go off camera flash

If you're shooting the people in the club, I'd go with a wider lens. Either a 24mm or 35mm accompanied with an off camera flash.

What I used to do was use a 430exII on camera to provide minor fill and focus assist, which triggered another flash in hand that I boomed over the subjects.

Great results, but the camera combo gets a little heavy if you don't have the proper strap setup.

i agree luxury, I'm trying to stay lightweight

what you posted is fine for the 85, but what about shots like this?

you'll need flash. an off-camera cord, held in the left hand, would work fine.

narlus, that is a shot of me and my sister, it is shot with on camera flash and i was using my 24-105
