Recently returned from a week long shoot and got to really use the camera (77d), which let me find its limitations!!
The videographer there had a 16-35L ii lens that I borrowed for a day, the IQ was excellent. I am a designer that does some photography/video so have not invested loads into my equipment, but enjoying it a lot and seem to be asked to do more so may have to re-think!!
I returned intent on buying a 16-35L ii and almost pressed the button, one last check through the pics and realised most were taken at 24mm +. Also I remember changing lenses a lot from 18-50 and 70-300 as it seems the 50-70mm was what i needed. It was a competition event so could not move closer and if i moved back people moved in the way!!
Last minute opted for a 24-70L ii, it was delivered today, what a beast of a lens!! It is a lot heavier than I was expecting, snapped 5 shots in my office to check and am amazed by the clarity of the images.
A lot of what I do is low light events, so next may be a 70-200L ii is, or a FF body, not sure what will yield the better results for me. It is a recurring dilemma for me!! As someone mentioned on here before, I may rent both in and have a play at the next event in November.
If anyone rents equipment in and has a recommendation please let me know.
Cheers, T
