QUOTE(celciuz @ Jul 6 2010, 01:43 PM) 18mm not wide enough? Might need to consider something like Tokina 11-16 then. Hi celciuz, ever since i started using the 50mm prime, I prefer prime now. So i'm looking for a prime or MAYBE a small wide-zoom... Any recommendation? |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jul 6 2010, 02:24 PM) 18-105 IQ not good enough for you now eh? Hehe... many seems to appreciate the Q of prime... 6K is out la... how much is the 11-16 f/2.8?11-16 f/2.8 might interest you. Else if you want primes, wide one would be 24 f/1.4 which is...pricey. RM6500. and is f/2.8 enough for restaurant dinner setting? or will i need a flash? i hate flash... Thanks all for yr comments. |

QUOTE(zellleonhart @ Jul 6 2010, 03:01 PM) f/2.8 is sufficient, one stop faster than your 18-105 @ f3.5. But you get wider focal length in tokina 11-16. if you pump some ISO and use slower shutter (1/30~1/40?) at f2.8 should be ok. But it wont look so well exposed and not sharp. If can some bounced/diffused flash would be better to illuminate more. thanks, but i prefer not to use flash at such public settings... very impolite i feel... want o be polite but no money wor... how a?... hahaha... |

ok... thank you guys for all yr advice... I'll do somemore research on these sughested lenses.
BTW, 1 question on macro lenses, what is the diff in the XXmm numbers compare to the number for normal lense? Does it means 100mm macro can do macro at a further distance compare to a 38mm macro lense? |
