I use an L-series 70-200mm/f 2.8 because I get range. The 135 is fixed and
if the venue only allows you to photograph from your seat or the band
members move and you can’t, you’re stuck.

I found the 85mm/f1.4 works well from the pit, if there’s really low light
and the f/2.8 can’t do it.

I found these articles invaluable: (part II equipment and the basics
applies here)

I found these and other invaluable articles by googling “concert photography”

4.Jon Sievert’s book is also great
