[QUOTE="aced19, post: 158020, member: 9734"] I don't know your budget. But I would buy a 50mm 1.8 ($100 used), 85mm 1.8 ($400-$500 used ), 80-200 2.8 two ring ($700-$800 used ) any one of those. That would help a lot with what your wanting to do. But not everyone can do that. I would set the camera in manual mode and have the shutter speed set to min of 250 (preferred 500). Aperture to the largest you can set (smallest number) at the focal length you choose. Have auto ISO set min 200- max 6400. Now you said you don't want grainy photos.
