DSLR Shots and Discussions

the 18-200 is not good for low light, like it seemed you wanted to take in your previous post. i'd go for the 35mm/1.8 or 50mm/1.8 depending on what you're shooting with, IMO.

also - a decent flash helps if you don't have a tripod; if you can remote it somewhere, even better. but i'm still getting used to shooting in lowlight as well, so take my thoughts with grains of salt.

I have the 18-200 lens and I think it does a pretty good job in low light. A f1.4 lens is obviously going to be faster but I was pretty impressed with the 18-200mm. BUt then, it's the only one I have for now.

depends on what you shoot, i guess. it's hard for me to get clean shots with the 18-200 in low light unless i pump ISO up, since a lot of what i shoot is moving around.
