Originally posted by Gooshin people misunderstand when it comes to low light lenses
a fast lens will give you a bright viewfinder so you can work better in the dark
but actualy SHOOTING at a wide open aperture requires lots of skill and thinking ahead since your depth of field will be razor thin
using any normal prime below 2.8 will give you half-blured images, or in the case of shooting 1.4 you can go so far as to have the persons nose seem out of focus and their eyes in focus if they are facing you at an angle.
once you actualy buy a fast lens you will realize that to get the proper shot you will bump your aperture up to 3 or 4 atleast for most "normal" things
this is a fair warning.
Thanks for a warning, and I have experienced this while shooting with the 50mm. I agree the DOF is difficult to work with, but it can be done
Thanks for the suggestions so far, and I already own 3 flashes, so springing for another would be silly, unless I sell the 2 AF360s and get another 540
