hi toni-a,
low light + action = trouble shooting,,(even though i do not own a 7dm2)
my personal experience, low light dance show,
shooting with 2 cameras
7dm1/580ex
--50mm 1.4 canon works reasonably fine
--85mm 1.8 canon works fine
--50mm 1.4 sigma art works reasonably fine
of course these combo's depend from the distance you shoot at
and...fixed focal...do not bother zooming : just shoot and reframe afterwords
400d/400ex
--30mm 1.4 ex sigma honestly...frustrating, would not try it again
--85mm 1.8 canon works reasonably, but do not expect wonders (AF to slow, frame rate to slow)
--50mm 1.4 canon same as 85mm 1.8
--15-85mm canon for use in "still" moments acceptable (even if noise is still a problem with the camera)
tripod/monopod ,
too cumbersome indoor with action photo's (IMHO)
so?
i do not own the 17-55mm 2.8
neither the 100mm macro
the most obvious choice would be i think the 50-150mm sigma or 50-135mm tokina
but since i did never owned these lenses...
a more common choice would be any 70-200mm 2.8 (canon, sigma or tamron),
but these could be a tad too long at times
but i never used these either
my main set-up was finaly,
7d/580ex/50mm 1.4 (first canon, later sigma art), 85mm 1.8 when shooting a second day
400d/400ex/15-85mm (for "still" moments)
and ...a battery-pack for the 580 ex
so ?
i do not know every of your lenses,
so far i know you own the 17-55mm 2.8, you could use with your 7dm2, (at 55mm most of the time, cropping if necessary in PP)
and maybe, but i fear AF could be too slow, your 30d with your 100mm macro as second camera
as you can "choose" your place,
i guess you should have a try before with the FL's you have
very kind regards,
couplos
