>>2844871They don't have a pit, the "pit area" is reserved for people who pay a shit ton of money or writers. They set up two rows of chairs in the area that would be the pit. You have to shoot from only stage right or stage left, but while I was walking over to the other side of the stage I would stop in the center isle and snap a few pictures.
Pic related. Wish I stepped back a bit, I would've cut off the musicians on the left and the right. But I have pictures taken on my 50D that captures a bit more. Will post.
>>2844902Mine was $500 because I decided to buy the AE chipped version of Rokinon 14mm f/2.8. It has focus confirmation, you control the aperture from the camera, and not on the lens. They have a cheaper version, same AMAZING optics, for $340.
