Which Canon lens to use for shooting an outdoor music festival?

questions answers Add comments

I'm about to shoot my first concert - a major day/night outdoor music festival.

I will be using a friend's Canon EOS 20D with a 17-85mm lens, however I have been told that I might be better off using a different lens

Could you give any recommendations?

And perhaps any live concert photography tips in general?

I will have access to the photo pit, so distance from performers isn't a major issue

Many thanks

    In the pit that lens will be ok for getting overall stage shots but not much good for closeup shots of the performers.
    You will need a 200mm at least and it will need to be an f2.8 to get a decent speed.
