And the X Japan show at Roseland is an example on being prepared.  The photo pit was completely FUBAR.  There were about 15 photographers too many in there.  I counted 6 point and shoots in the photo pit.  Then there were the folks with their 18-55 lens who were completely unprepared for how very very tall the stage is at Roseland and how very very far away the band members are.  I ended up shooting the majority of the show with a 70-200 2.8 Sigma.  Notes on the Sigma, it’s a nice lens for the price.  I still prefer the Canon version, less backfocus and better coatings to reduce orbs and flare.
