I'm now ready to photograph places - 2 gig micro sd card holds over 1000 images on "fine"- what are the fastest lenses available? my lenses start out at 4 - is this even an issue any longer? btw, ty for the add Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 ` Unless you are an Initiate in the Cult of Bokeh, fast lenses are simply a tool to deal with a lack of light on the scene, and at a sacrifice of useful DoF. So, you have f/4 lenses and an older body that doesn't handle higher ISO all that well as to both noise and the limited high ISO typical of a CCD sensor. Fast lenses will cost you lots more than a faster sensor ... IOW a newer body. Not to mention a better finder, twice the MP, video if you're ever so inclined, and more and more. OK, so I did mention the "not to mention" stuff. Just sue me ! But thank me later ;-) For example: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/used/817858/?c3api=1876%2C52248989522%2C&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhf6khtPB2QIVR7jACh3pZQteEAQYAyABEgJYCfD_BwE www.keh.com/shop/sony-alpha-slt-a77-24-3-megapixel-3d-digital-slt-camera-body-only-black-673558.html?m=Grouped&prod_id=1103884&aid=1103884&rmatt=tsid:|cid:760491299|agid:43846217721|tid:pla-346481561664|crid:181401812609|nw:g|rnd:5320146060997946696|dvc:c|adp:1o2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhf6khtPB2QIVR7jACh3pZQteEAQYAiABEgJQmvD_BwE ` Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jaf-Photo Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The A3X0 series were quite good mainly due to the CCD sensors which had superior IQ at lower (=reasonable) ISO. The jpeg engine wasn't great, though, so I would recommend using raw. All in all it's still a competent picture maker. If you want some faster lenses, I recommend the SAM 35mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8 and 85mm f2.8. Optically, these are delightful lenses. The af and build quality are basic, which keeps the price down. Regarding dof there are two types of photos: 1) photos with bokeh and 2) rubbish photos Luckily, the lenses I mentioned have good bokeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
