  1. <p>Hi Shun.... well.... I'm always around.... reading only...... Thanks for your advice..... I find it so confusing since there are so many new lenses.<br /> Macro lenses are good for more artistic shots like the one here:<br> This fish is only 12 inches about 4 meters away in the tank</p><div></div>
  2. <p>It’s been quiet a while since I posted….<br> This time I need your help. I’m looking for a lens for work. I don’t like zoom lenses but in this case that is what I need. I take pictures of koi (nishikigoi AKA Japanese carp). I have mostly primes, 24, 35, 50 and 85 and so on. I need a zoom to cover this range. I love fast lenses but in this case I don’t need that.<br> I use flash, ISO 200, f/ 9 to 16 (to avoid reflections on the water), speed 200. Cameras I still use D300 and D700. I’ve been using my old faithful 35~70 f/2.8 (The only zoom I have) but it is too slow to autofocus. If I shoot with primes, depending on the size of the fish I need to keep swapping lenses and since my primes are not cheap and I’m surrounded by water I don’t like the idea of swapping.<br> So, the ideal lens would be the 24~70 f/2.8 but I’m trying to avoid the price since I have not use of f/2.8 and trying to avoid the weight factor too. What I need most is AF speed. <br> Here are 2 examples of what I do. These fish are 60 cm (24 inch) and they are by my feet. The whole I deal is to get the fish as straight as I can with the pectoral fins open. That happens once in 3 minutes just for a fraction of a second.<br> Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Cheers!!!!</p> <p>PS. Full frame would be best.</p>
