New Camera and Highly Difficult Concert Shoot

Fujifilm X-T3 35mm f2.
Thanks to stage being close to ground level I managed to get these shots, a regular stage would make shooting with 35mm very bad idea. So far I am quite impressed with X-T3 and 35mm f2 version. Quite good iso performance considering its a crop camera. open air concert made it a nightmare to balance stage lights and sun but fortunately it was close to sunset so after an hour, light got way better.

Why is shooting with 24mm a bad idea?

I said 35 which is around 53mm for my camera. I know many stages that lens would be too wide unless you have access to stage. I'd rather use a 16 and 56 for concert though having only 1 camera wouldnt do much good.

Aaah. Now I get it. I used to work on a crop sensor with FF 28mm lens for long time. Could be worse. ;)

I like the first shot the best. It captures her moment well!!!
