Hi Guys, im kind of stuck and confused dot com on what lens i should get. Basically i use DSLR (Canon 550D) to shoot interviews and take pics at events. At the min i use a 18-55mm lens for pics and a 50mm lens for interviews. This has worked well but over the next few weeks we will be attending concerts more and gigs to shoot pics and video. With the gigs its not too bad as we have arrangements in place to be placed at the front etc so lighting is always good etc and so is the focal length. Its more concerts i think we have an issue with at the min. Since we would be sat in the media section its not always the closest. An example is here

I was wondering now what lens i should get that would be good for zoom and possibly some video from a distance.
I was looking around and came up with a few options, im kind of looking as cheap as possible but at the same time dont mind paying more if its better in the long terms.
- tamron lens 55-200mm A15 - NO IS but would do zoom well can get one for £60 inc delivery second hand or can get the Sigma at a similar focal or from 18-200 for around the same price
or
- Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Lens (Canon AF) - NO IS would not need the 18-55 canon lens anymore would cost £170. brand new
- Canon EF 28 - 135 mm IS USM F/3.5-5.6 - HAS IS and USM if im right this would be a wide angle lens not sure if suitable for interviews where performer only only screen and no host. Is more then i would like to spend also but am considering if worth while, seems to be around £200-230 on aution (whats intresting is trade shops buy for £140 in and sell £230)
- Canon EF 18-135 IS - HAS IS once again similar to the one above and price would be around same for second hand. once again price thing
Apreciate all your help and advise
