Well first of all... the Samyang 35mm is a full frame lens while the Sony is an APSC lens.. this alone makes a lot of difference..

I disagree. Shooting an event without flash is difficult. To compensate, you push the ISO up off the scale and image quality suffers. To blend in ambient, you just have to balance your flash with your ISO.

Besides letting you capture the moment without risk of subject or hand shake, having a flash with a bounce card also enables one to add catchlights into the subjects' eyes as well as offer fill lighting to lift shadows. There are lots of times when the light coming from directly above casts deep shadows across the face and leaves the eyes in shadows. Catchlights brings a subject to life. There's a lot to the saying that the eyes is the window to a person's soul, you know?

It's not about how clean the high ISO can be using any particular body. Like I said, photography is all about light so you will need to cast your subjects in the best possible light.

i beg to differ with your points a little. many pro photographers out there shoot without flash because they know have to manipulate natural lighting to work for them. at the end of the day it's up to you on how to work your way with the available light that you have if you are not keen on flashes. but to reach this level takes years of experience. and having deep shadows across the face may not be a bad thing actually if you know how to work with shadows. then again, heavy shadows are not everybody's cup of tea. biggrin.gif

You have valid points but those are photographers that have chosen to use ambient lighting for their work. If you ask them if flash is important, I'll bet they will say yes. They have understood the importance of lighting and have chosen to use if in their own way.

What I am opposed to are people who spew so-called intelligence with comments like "You don't need flash cause you got a bright aperture lens plus a body that have clean high ISO rating"

The above statement and something to that effect is really misleading. It shows that the person does not even know how to light a subject.
