I often use this to shoot events when noise is an issue. It helps to have an LCD loupe such as a Hoodman or Zacuto loupe to help stabilise the camera if you're shooting like this.Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153401059972970062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752402.post-39941599372542034662012-12-05T23:26:23.430+11:002012-12-05T23:26:23.430+11:00Good on you for continuing to shoot.

One would have thought your client would have ensured management told him that photos will be taken during the performance. And frankly, when you've got people chewing open-mouthed on Malteasers for much of a performance, the occasional shutter click isn't so bad.

I bought this lens because I couldn't afford the 70-200 or the 80-200 years ago. It turns out that in its own way the 75-150mm holds a lot of advantages; weight being the most obvious. When I went to China there was no way I as carrying the 80-200 AF-S on the streets. The modest 75-150 was an easy travel companion and easier to shoot with in public spaces. Another nice use for the lens is video. The push/pull design works smoothly and the focus throw is quite nice as well. For today's pixel peepers this little lens doesn't give up much if any ground to its larger, newer siblings in terms of resolution. It may actually be slightly better at contrast. You also hit the nail on the head for cost as I don't think I paid over $70 U.S. for mine.

I have a 40-year old 105mm f/2.5 manual lens, which is perfect for portraits and is perfect for tripod use in-studio. <br />The old E-series tele lens was the best of that 1979 bunch, by a long way and is widely reputed as a Nikon classic. Great image. It's not the gear you use - it's the eye of the photographer to make a great picture.

I also dont know anything about the "technical" side of lenses but i just know i love them all for different reasons. I have about 6 lenses in my kit and probably use all of them at some stage while photographing my weddings. i also LOVE my trusty 80mm 1.8 lense. its all battered and scratched but works like a charm. it's my baby (next to my D700 and my 70-200 2.8) haha. I am exhausted after each shoot from chaning lenses and running in and out of shots but at least i know i have given my clients the best possible shots...then i'm satisfied xxTizia Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376356930774899987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752402.post-48410444159458400992012-08-02T06:17:17.072+10:002012-08-02T06:17:17.072+10:00Shelton,

I think in part it's because I live out in the country and it takes more effort to drive to Allentown or Bethlehem where the pool of potential victims, er subjects, is larger, but also because I'm more comfortable asking for a pic after I've had some kind conversational relationship with the stranger. Some people in the Flickr group are very comfortable walking up to someone, quite often an attractive young lady, and asking right off the bat. Often it seems they get the shot and boom, they're off to look for their next subject. My way takes longer. Anyway, I do intend to continue it, but I'll be taking a lot longer to get my first 100 strangers than many others. Take care.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752402.post-23986111726101232922012-08-01T16:29:18.971+10:002012-08-01T16:29:18.971+10:00Being of a less outgoing personality I certainly m...Being of a less outgoing personality I certainly move beyond my comfort for zone in approaching strangers.
