Hey all -
I recently did a shoot in my backyard at night, with a subject burning some stuff in my fire pit. Very low light, quick shutter speeds due to the fire, and i had two lights i was using as well. What I noticed when using my friends AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4G lens, is that that lens is amazing in low light conditions. The thing i was having difficulty with was the lack of zoom. So, what i did (and i regret it immensely now) is switched to my 18-55 kit lens so i could zoom. I really wish i wouldn't have done so.
Is there a lens out there that is as good in low light conditions as the one referenced above, that zooms? if there is, its goona be mine very soon!!! i shoot with a nikon d3000 (yes i know its an entry level cam with really crapy ISO). Just throwing that out there. I want to upgrade in the coming months ..maybe d7000? but thats a different beast.
Thanks
