 you think its a waste of the $1100 difference from the 1.4? |
I think you'll see a BIG difference in shooting concerts. With your stage access you'll be able to frame by managing your distance from the subjects. This L lens will not only be more reliable, but it'll be sharper, which is what really counts.
Dig up all the lens reviews and tests that you can find, because even the L-series do vary from model to model. One may be stunningly sharp and the other L only very good. I'm not in the market for this range, so I don't have a clear opinion, other than Ls are worth saving for. You never know, but some of the non-Canon lenses are particularly sharp, like the Ziess wide angle, so don't limit your search to Canon. Limit it to very high quality glass.
