Hi there,
Was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.
My sister recently got married in Greece and I used my Pentax K-x with the 18-55mm kit lens. I liked some of the photo's but wasn't overly impressed with the close up shots. I'm also putting this down to being a pretty beginner amateur photographer.
We are hosting a suprise reception, this weekend when they are home and I was looking at some of the cheaper end lenses.
I've mainly been looking at the
Pentax SMC 35mm f/2.4 AL Lens Pentax smc 35mm f/2.4 AL Lens: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo
and the
Pentax 50mm f/1.8 SMC DA Lens Pentax 50mm f/1.8 SMC DA Lens: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo both mainly due to price.
I was hoping someone could maybe give me the best recommendation for one. I've had a look at the reviews but I'm still much of a beginner that I can't really make heads or tails. The idea is that I'll just be going round the tables at the party, and photographing people as they come in the door or are getting a drink at the bar - just to add into an extra wedding album for them. I'll be shooting in low light, and was also wondering if I should maybe invest in an external flash / difuser or if alterating the ISO would be do able.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
