I would like to add a really good, not top of the line, low light lens to my set so I can occasionally practice indoor low light photography for when that day comes that I decide it is time to actually do the real work.
I have been reading for hours about low light lenses and I still have not come up with something that makes sense to me.
I have the D90 and will likely be using this camera for at least the next year. I guess that does not really matter so much as it crops all lenses anyway, but it also changes the recorded field of view on wide angle lenses.
Nothing I have is faster than f/3.5 currently.
What would be some of your recommendations as to the lens I am looking for? Is a 1.8 fast enough? Should I go for an older prime lens in AI-S configuration and use manual mode? I have no fear using manual mode. I come from a Nikon FM2N history anyway.
With the crop factor of the small sensor what angle lens makes sense?
Older lenses are usually cheaper and cheap is what I need unfortunately.
