So while camera shake may be eliminated with stabilization subject movement is not ...<br /><br />so unless doing video (where jitter control is fantastic) there will always remain a reason to need and desire faster lenses *as well as* their depth of field effects.obakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-63750297172892318622011-09-09T22:13:36.738-04:002011-09-09T22:13:36.738-04:00These are interesting comments.

On DX a $120 18-55mm stabilized kit lens will have almost exactly the same low light capabilities as a $500 50mm f1.4 lens, and likely the image will be significantly sharper on the kit lens at maximum aperture. To me, fast aperture lenses are principally about narrow depth of field and the creativity it affords. Low light capabilities are no longer an issue.lucindalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342303836654206846noreply@blogger.com
