1. I want a decent zoom lens. I sold the kit zoom as it was heavy and slow. The longest focal length I have is 85mm so it was OK for stage shots, but really didn't get me that close to the action.
2. A polarizing filter works great for the lights of the stage, but not so great for shooting the image off the jumbo-tron.
First shots with filter:
Shots without the filter:
The stage shot with the filter is soooo much more palatable than without, but the jumbo-tron shots with the filter, Ed is green. So it was a toss up as to which way is better I guess.
