[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 260342, member: 14443"] hard to use the 70-200 on the dance floor, so it pretty much sits in the bag. but other than that its very versatile. nice compressed shots at the dance floor. on the dance floor, I have a WA zoom on one camera, the other with the 28-75, a fisheye in my pouch and once in a while when im hunting, I take the 85 1.8 out for a few shots. but youre going to be smack dab in the middle of the dance floor. you wont have the space to use it. a midrange was what your lineup was missing. look at pics and youll see that pros go for the midrange zoom more so than the 70-200 as it does a good 60% of the bulk work. 70-200 is great for BG portrait session, makeup/hair (if you have the space), family formals, nice for catching candid guest shots, nice to get ceremony shots but for the dance floor, its ok, but you have to be out of the traffic to use it. youre making a huge mistake by not using the 85 1.4 lens. the quality of its bokeh can not be done with any other lens.
