well i really want to get a telephoto lens for portrait photography.
what can i do with the lighting since i always have trouble with it in doors and i dont like to use the flash or use high iso?
or would it be helpful and different if i used a eternal flash?
telephoto isnt that good for portraits unless you got full frame sensor, not to mention that you need to use really fast shutterspeed with telephoto or camera shake shows and blurs the image. even with 85mm its hard to take other than headshots indoors because its so long focal lenght. 50mm is really good for portraits on crop sensor. if you got enough cash for it i suggest sigma 50mm 1.4, i hate it that i bought canons 50mm 1.4 instead it was quite a disapoitment after using 50mm 1.2..
external flash is really good to have if you want that type of shots, you should get wireless triggers or off show cord for it. using external flash is like a whole new world to photography and it needs alot of practise. wanna buy my 580ex II?
