[QUOTE="Deuce808, post: 479563, member: 39784"] I notice that my 35 1.8g has a tendency to shoot soft or blurry pics more often then my other lenses. Is it typical to have to keep the shutter speed above 1/60? Or even 1/100? I'm having to boost ISO to compensate. Maybe it's a combination of getting too close and too wide a aperture and/or too slow a shutter speed. I find the problem is when I try to get a close up shot of say a cats head to fill the frame, or a Lego figurine large enough to be a dominate subject. Most of these would be in less then ideal light and I have the desire for bokeh. Typical settings would be 1/60, 1.8-2.8, ISO 800+ (even had to use 6400 once), distance to subject would be close to the min focal distance of 1ft approx. If I'm a bit back then I have a better shot of a sharp pic. Should I just switch to the 85 1.8g at this point to get the framing/isolation I want and just stand back a little? Would a 50 1.8g or even a macro be a benefit here? [/QUOTE]
