[QUOTE="Davidm, post: 57811, member: 9680"] Hi thanks for the replies....I really like the 50mm but find when out and about with the kids I like the flexibility of the zoom...my kids are 5 and 4 year old so always running around but in rare moments I can get them to be still for a moment to get a close up shot...usually when eating ice cream :-). I generally have the dog out as well so don't have spare hands or time to take my tripod...my usual photos involve chasing the kids around, getting down to their height hoping I can catch a shot...I normally then end up cropping and sharpening in Lightroom but get frustrated at lack of sharpness...I know that biggest problem is technique, but I have managed to get a few shots with blurred out backgrounds hence was thinking that the sigma with 2.8 sounded interesting...look forward to your responses.
