[QUOTE="CiNcH, post: 110387, member: 12751"] Hey guys, I am completely new to photography. The best camera I had so far was an iPhone 4... I also looked into the lens thing and also thought about getting an AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 because it receives a lot of praise... I don't seem to get the whole picture here I think. OK, I get that you can open it up to f/1.8 which is nice for low light situations of course. But compared to the AF-S DX 18-55 and 18-105, the 35mm version does not feature VR. So the EV that you gain by opening up the aperture (2-3 EV), you lose by having to increase the shutter speed to not blur the image when shooting hand-held (also 2-3 EV for VR). So is it really that much of an improvement in low light situations compared to the two mentioned lenses? Or does it only make that much of a difference when using a tripod? What do you guys recommend as the lowest shutter speed with this lens when shooting hand-held? 1/60 according to the widespread math '1 / (focal length * crop factor)'? [/QUOTE]
