Keep hearing good things about the G2

Am often finding I need a little more reach especially for candids and wedding ceremony photos. Looking at buying a used 70-200 2.8 vr i. It wont be my main lens and I'll only pull it out when that extra reach is needed (thanks to its weight). Question is does anyone use this lens still on full...

Thanks again everyone. The only reason I was going to avoid using my flash is because I know 3 professional newborn photographers who never use them. They are studio photographers who unfortunately can't give me any advice on portable lighting from experience. I would prefer to use natural...

Thanks Bob. I'm not too worried about the eyesight... More disrupting a sleepy baby with the odd powerful flash of light. So was thinking something continuous would work better?

Hi all. Looking for a solution. I am going to be doing some newborn photos soon. Not in a studio set up but just some in the home environment. I'm worrying slightly as the house has very small windows and limited natural light. I don't want to use my flash photographing a newborn but think I...

Great will take a look thanks!

Hi everyone, Does any one have recommendations for client galleries? I have a website on Wordpress format and want to eventually be able to offer my clients an online gallery that is password protected ideally. Any suggestions welcome!

OK great thank you. Just thought it seemed like a good option to cover the rings and details and then double up later on for some candid shots thanks to its extra reach. I do have a 85 which I could pop onto my crop sensor for extra reach but I really struggle to get sharp results like I do on...

Thanks killwilly the lens seems to be very popular and great value considering its performance and reviews. Has anyone used this for wedding photography, besides the ring shots? How did it perform for candid photography during ceremony or drinks reception for example?

Thanks for your responses. I also have a 24-70 and an 85 but I struggle with the weight of the 70-200 after renting a couple of times. I would mostly use the lens for macro but I wondered if it could be useful for extra reach as I would prefer not to rent or buy the 70-200. I know this lens is...

I'm looking at buying the os version of the sigma 105 but after reading lots of reviews, people are mentioning that the os makes a distinct noise. My question really is to anyone who has this lens, is the noise a deal breaker, for example if you was using the lens during a wedding ceremony? I...

I will post some samples when back at the desk. Thank you for all your replies so far!

minnnt I have of course looked at reviews online. I was hoping someone on here could give me a personal view on swapping the 85 for the 105 based on my requirements. Bobsyeruncle, thanks for letting me know I'm not alone! I just wish I could nail my technique.

I just thought the 1.8 advantage would be good for my kit if in low light conditions. I have tried stopping the lens down with no joy. Any reviews on the 105?

Damianmkv you're photos are very sharp compared to my results on d7000!
