[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 178863, member: 15675"] You know it is pretty frustrating in the beginning, did I get it correct? f1.8 is a fast lens, however when you use f1.8 you are using your fast lens in a wide setting. 1/800 is a fast shutter speed, you need a wide setting of your fast lens to do this in limited sunlight. Stopping down a few stops is going to f4 - f5.6. I guess I did buy the f1.8 to try f1.8, now seeing that this is not suitable for all situations, I was amazed with the Kodiak pictures, seeing their f settings. @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-9556-whitelight.html"][B]WhiteLight[/B][/URL] The lens does not focus at all on AF when you are too close, I noticed that.
