I'm just asking if you were faced with whether to use fast glass at a short FL or "standard "variable aperture with more zoom which would u choose. Since both have their merits. Ideally u shoot a long FL with a prime lens but not always possible.since using a longer FL you need to compensate with a higher iso. which creates grain in a photo.  when shooting fast glass and short FL u need to crop to get the same photo "zoom".the cropped photo is softer (less sharp/crisp) I realize that ps can help with noise but can't really fix sharpness/soft edges in more than a slight way.</p></blockquote><p></p>
