[QUOTE="Just-Clayton, post: 506281, member: 6495"] Shot pictures at my nieces benefit. Nothing fancy, just snapshots. I brought only 4 batteries for the flash. So. due to the very high ceiling decided to lower my flash power and shoot straight on. A woman came to me and asked why I'm shooting flash head on and not bouncing it. Explained my battery situation. "Well" she says. With my canon 70-200/ 2.8 $2000 lens I get great shots. So, to put her in her place I shot at 1600 ISO with my 70-300/4.5 antique and "FREE" lens. I walked over and showed her what my shabby old equipment did and said " not bad for a free lens huh"?? Funny!! Never said anything to me after that. It doesn't matter how expensive lenses are. It's how it's used. Half of my lenses are manual and my newest ones are around 10 years old. [/QUOTE]
