So how is the 35mm f2.4 for use in low light without a flash? I'm about to purchase my first dslr, although I also own a 35mm slr and have used a 50mm f1.8 on it.
Anyway, I'm thinking of trying the Pentax K-r. My main use for this camera will be kids and lots of indoor shots. I'd really like to use natural lighting. I'm aware that I will need a fast lens and this has been recommended but it's only a f2.4. How does it compare to an f1.8 (as this is the only fast lens that I am familiar with)?
I see that Nikon has the D3100 and I can get the 35mm f1.8G. This seems like a good combo especially since I really have no desire to upgrade to more lenses. But I'm really leaning toward Pentax -call me different.
So, can I get good low light shots with this lens or would that Nikon 35mm 1.8 be best for me? I know this is a Pentax forum so you will be partial but at least you can tell me how well this lens functions in low light.
THANKS!
