Re: Low light lens advice
You can definitely add a stop or two over f/2.8 with a faster lens, but depth of field problems crop up as well. I have a 35mm f/1.4 which is very sharp even at F:/1.4. Many wide aperture lenses need to be stopped down to be sharp, and then you lose the extra light.
Beyond that, adding some additional lighting is most cost effective.
Here is a photo shot in dim light at our local small town county fair just after I bought the lens this summer. The hall was dimly lighted, so I used f/1.4 to see how well it would do. It came out suprisingly sharp in the center, but the shallow depth of field does take a toll.
