I just a big Noob for dSLR. got my 400D 2 days ago...
I love to take indoor potrait... but maybe because of my shaky hands... the photos looks dark...and blur... do I need a bigger f lens? does it really help? is f1.8 enough? how much is the cheapest one? or should i get an IS lens? how much is the cheapest IS lens? please help...  |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Apr 17 2007, 05:05 PM) it really depends on what you want out of your shots. if it is like minor difference... i have dun think i can see the difference lor~ to you it may be little difference, but to people who have specific requirements to meet in their shots that little difference could mean a lot. |

QUOTE(earthkid @ Apr 17 2007, 05:08 PM) i think 1.8 is enough for a newbie...anyways...the price difference between 1.4 and 1.8 is almost 1k difference...not to even mention 1.2, 1.8 is pretty affordable now, i think on FTZ...u can probably get it around 250 to 300... oh~ 1.8 can take sharp portrait indoor? i will be much better than my kit lens? |
