Right, following on from yesterday’s flash comments you lot have got me thinking about fast primes for my Oly*, for nice possibly candid photos of people and softly lit stuff indoors. I like to capture the mood of an evening or a dull day spent indoors, and whilst I can manage fairly well with careful flash use, things are better without.
Seems like I have two choices:
Sigma 30mm f1.4
Sigma 24mm f1.8
f1.4 would be nice but 30mm is getting a bit long when you consider the crop factor of 2 on my camera. 30mm also smaller, and has a high speed focusing motor which could help with people shots, but a non-rotating front element is always nice on the 24mm. Both are similarly priced.
* Yes, I know I said it was too expensive.. it’ll be a loong time before I actually get this so it’s almost hypothetical 🙂
