Hi everyone, well after hiring the 5D mark iii a few weeks ago, I have managed to present a case to hubby that warrants buying one Yay ! So our car sale was finalised yesterday and that money is burning a hole in my pocket...

My question... which lens.

There are a few scenarios that I enjoy shooting - flowers, live concerts (always sit in front row), basketball, and family.

I have the f1.8 50mm lens, which I know is a cheapy, but am enjoying it on my current 500D camera, and can still use that on the 5D ?

I hired the 70 - 200 mm lens ( bad move...) I want it... BUT I think I am going to have to settle on a compromise, so considering my shooting preferences, I am thinking of the 100mm f2.8 macro IS USM.

Am I heading in the right direction thought wise ? Upon checking the EXIF data of my live show stuff, the range we shot was between about 80 and 150mm. My thinking is that with the image quality, a compromise on the focal length can be overcome by cropping if I want that nasal shot image.

Any advice appreciated
