Hi everyone would really like some advice please
I have 7d sigma 17-70 tameron 28-75 2.8 Canon 50 1.8.
I am not a prorofessional but take a lot of photos for my sons shows ballet bad lighting. I love natural light low light . I also take a lot of natural light baby photos for friends.
I really need two cameras for the shows often borrow friends 5d and put my 50 1.8 on it.
I was thinking the new 7d?

That sounds like you already have a pretty decent setup. What is your complaint with this camera? What would you like a new camera to improve upon?

How close are you to what you want to shoot? Getting a prime that works for your range might be the best for low light shooting, although most stages have *enough* light for a 2.8 zoom. If you're close then a 35/50mm might work, a little farther then I'd look into an 85/100, maybe 135.

I'd like a good reason to get the 135 myself

Love my camera but needed another camera don't like using someone else's camera.
I tend to photo shows at dress rehearsals so can go anywhere I want.

Thank you for advice and reading other threads I have a 6d
I will get a prime later.
I took both cameras out yesterday to do a few Autumn shots of my family lovely combination of cameras very pleased
