Hello,
I'm looking for a lens that will let me go the above f32, so I can attempt to get some lightning strikes in the daytime. Anyone have any suggestions? My 70-300mm tammy can almost go that high, but I'd prefer something shorter.
I ask because my technique/theory is to set focus to infinity, 400 (lowest possible) iso, highest F value, then bulb it up with the remote. It just lets too much light in though.
I had some success with this technique at night time, the only change being the reverse in F value - I used lowest possible, 4.6 I think.
PS. I'm very much a newbie, so please go easy on the lingo.
