New convert here. Sigma 35mm 1.4 replaced my 28-70 last year and I've just replaced my 70-200 with a 135 1.8. Also got a 50 1.4 in the bag and a 28 for the groups. Though I think I need an 85 1.4 to fill that gap.

It had a road-test on the weekend, it seems really good but only in particular scenarios. That being said, I think the 85mm might fall short more than the 135mm would be too long. It works here: But that is quite literally the only shot I'll get from that location without moving around and...

If group photos are required then the 35mm. If not then a 50mm or 85mm.

In all probability the reason that you're struggling is because there's not enough light. Try finding a nice bright light in the house and bringing it along. Put it to the side of the tank to give the corals some contrast and shadows, it should allow for a faster shutter speed. You might...

Hi All, I'm currently using a pretty standard bag. However, this year I have 3 destination weddings booked and so I'm looking for something rigid that will protect my cameras on a plane but also small enough to be taken on as hand luggage. Any recommendations? I assume a few of you will have...

Yes but it does solve the problem of camera movement when pressing the shutter.
