[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 29775, member: 16"] Daisy, low light lenses, what's known as fast glass, are notoriously expensive. You need something in the range of F1.8 or 2.8 for any kind of indoor shooting without a flash..and even then, a flash will always come in handy as a fill light for those nasty shadowy areas one always seem to encounter. As for getting the SB-600.........may I suggest the SB-700 as an alternative? The 600 is no longer in production, so you would be buying old stock, whereas with the 700, you'd be getting a much better flash for just a little more money. Believe me, the 700 is idiot proof to operate! Much easier than the 600. Plus, it comes with 3 or 4 different flash filters. Getting back to your D40X.....does it not have something in the menu that allows you to up the ISO settings? Please keep me up to date on what you propose to do. I'm really interested.and curious.....as to how this all turns out for you. :) [/QUOTE]
