Amazingly put!

Did have a question on your experience shooting with a 50 1.4 vs s 85 1.4 & 1.8. I am trying to decide which lens to get from these three and would love to hear your thoughts. Primarily to shoot editorial fashion type pictures.

Thanks for this, Lisa. I have the 1st gen Digital Rebel (300D) and I wasn’t familiar with being able to fiddle with the intensity of the on-camera flash. I got out the manual, couldn’t find anything. So I found something on the web that told me what I was looking for, downloaded the user manual for my camera and did a search on “Flash Exposure Compensation.” Nothing. I downloaded the user manual for your camera, searched and there it was. So now I’m reasonably sure :-) that I don’t have this functionality. A friend has a diffuser that he’s happy with, I may try it as an inexpensive option until I figure out if I should get a speedlite.

Thanks for giving me the kick in the pants to dig out my tripod, and experiment with lower iso and varying aperture settings! I’ve been a bit conservative since picking up the slr a few months ago.
