Is the 135 heavy?

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

70-200 too much?

NON IS though. Big difference?

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

I can't decide out of 3 lenses.

No problem solved. Now another to add to the bunch. Thanks,:-(
But in all seriousness. I want one mainly for portraits & nature.
Too much noise trying to go from far back with my 1.4. I'm lacking on lenses

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

Oh oh and background blur is a big one for me

With focal length comes shallow DOF as well. Where's KmH when you need him?

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

Forgot to mention, a lens that can take good pictures of my man when he races four wheelers.

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

*fast*

 

[thetrue]

Does he race at night?

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

Does he race at night?

eh it goes on until about 5. Gets dark at 430 here in the winter.
but wouldn't I need a fast lens for action anyway?.. Maybe I'm just stupid.

You're not stupid, you're just not focusing on the entire exposure triangle. I'm sure you could get away with 1/500 shutter, so you might have to bump the ISO up a stop or three, but honestly it won't hurt too badly. So say you had a 300 f/4, wide open and ISO400, if your meter says that 1/500 is too fast, bump the ISO to 1600, you'll get two more stops for the faster shutter. PLUS if you shoot in raw, you could underexposed by I believe up to 2-3 stops and save the image.

Thanks. I guess I just don't know what to buy. But I need something before he totally finishes his quad by February.

You know what f*ck it. I have the 501.4 lens. I can use that for my portraits and people shoots.its a great lens!
I don't need an all around lens. I just need a fast, good quality zoom that's not terribly priced. For nature pictures& his racing.
I don't know what I was thinking, maybe I just thought there could be everything in one lens... Haha

 

[SamiJoSchwirtz]

And not a huge zoom neither. Need to be able to handhold it.
