Lately, I've been getting more and more into photography, and I've noticed that when I shoot, my camera doesn't want to go below f/5.6. (I have a Canon Rebel XT digital camera with the standard lens that came with it - an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, I think.. that is what I can read off the lens).
This is particularly frustrating when I'm shooting in dim light - I can only push the shutter speed so high before it gets blackened out (and too low makes most shots - like at a concert with moving people - blurry). I push my ISO as high as I can....
Looking online, I thought maybe it was my lens, and am looking at a couple, including the Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8. Will this lens give me more range in aperture? Or what do I need to do?
I've noticed this quite a bit, but now it's starting to affect my photos more. (This is also the case with my 35 mm Canon Rebel camera, as well).
I don't mind getting new equipment, but I want to make sure I'm not buying something I won't ever need or use. :-)
