Hi,
I'd like to buy a lens for portrait. Most of the time, I take pictures indoors.
The light in the house is not great, and I am taking pictures of kids who don't stay still.
I own a Canon SL1 with 2 lenses: the kit lens (18-55mm) and a telephoto lens (55-250mm).
I asked around, and these are the recommended lenses:
- canon 50/1.8
- sigma 30/1.4
- sigma 50/1.4
one of these paired with the canon 85/1.8
Looking at my budget, I can only afford one lens now if buying new (that's why I am also considering used at this stage).
Does anybody have any recommendation about these lenses? Other options?
I tried last week the canon 50/1.8, and I must admit, I find it very loud. I was also told that the AF doesn't perform consistently, so I am not sure this is a good choice for me.
Thanks!
