I'm starting to photograph a lot of concerts and events. Right now I have a Canon T1i and the 18-55mm kit lens.
I make the best of it but my work is starting to get noticed. I might become a house photographer at the House of Blues and am also shooting behind the scenes on movie sets and music videos in Los Angeles. So I need to expand my equipment.
However, I also don't have a big budget at the moment so I'll probably only be able to afford to buy one lens right now. I need to make this purchase count for concerts, events, movie sets, and music videos.
What kind of lens should I buy? Should I get a prime or a zoom and which specific lens?
Thanks.
Also, should I buy new or used equipment? Does it matter if it's used?
