In general I would agree. However, if one wanted a slower shutter speed to enable the activity on the stage to become motion-blurred, without the actual (static) stage and scenery to become blurred, and no tripod..... But that's a red herring. Of course I would much rather use a fast lens. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
