Low Light Lens


Recommended Posts


Im looking for a good low light lens, so I can shoot moving trains underground, and moving buses @ night. What are some good ones out there? Im in a price range of $200 to 500.

 

For what camera?

Nikon D3000

 

These lenses will auto-focus with your camera and will allow to shoot in low light with high shutter speeds or smaller apertures. The latter has bigger aperture so you could shoot shoot faster in even darker places but is also more expensive.

Get the Sigma 30mm or 50mm f/1.4 lens for Nikon. Great lens and you can take moving train photos underground with clarity.

 

Good luck taking the Sigma Gamble when you buy something from them. Their QC is up there with Chinese toy manufacturers.

Can a low light lens with an F/1.8D do the job underground? Or would I need F/1.4? However F/1.4 is faster. But it read review and it said it produces bokeh effect

Basically anything faster (below) than f2.8 could do the job but you could use faster shutter speeds with the f1.4, so it's up to you and your wallet.
