Reply #12: You have a Canon 20D

[F.Gordon]

You don't need a f/2.8 lens. Just bump up your ISO. In the Canon vs Everyone Else Wars there is one fact that no one can dispute. (even the hardcare Nikonians :D) The Canon does very well with high ISO's.

This was taken in the rain with a one gallon ziplock bag wrapped around the camera at ISO1600 - f/9.0 with no digital noise removal. I'm sure a "purist" might blow this up and puke at the "noise" but screw em'
:hi:



Nothing wrong with smaller holes. Those expensive 2.8 bad boys might give ya' better Cream of Bokeh soup and the ability to get all creative like with the DOF but there's nothing wrong with a 4,5,6 f'. If ya' feel the Need for Speed just crank your ISO up.
