As a very casual DSLR user (D5600) who is still learning and investing in better kit I honestly no nothing about mirrorless cameras and the differences etc. Hopefully by the sounds of it it's a problem that's many years away and I can keep on as is with my DSLR

The difference is mirorless projects the image directly onto the cameras sensor instead of via a mirror. This allows cameras to be manufactured much smaller and opens up new possibilities with regards to tech/performance. In terms of use there'e no difference.
There is no problem in the short term but as said, the mounts are now redundant for new lenses. Defo worth considering if you're investing in better kit.

I use the 24mm lens on my 700d with flip screen and love it . You can get nice and close and I use a couple of rhino type lamps at night and more than happy with the results 👍

No one need Image stabilising then?

I'm used to the camera doing the stabilising, can't say it would ever used for a trophy shot though

Yeah I have a cannon 50mm 1.4, and as good as it is, on the tripod. I wish it had image stability.
Slower shutter speeds not so great when hand held. Probably just me shakey..

I'm so used to in body stabilisation I couldn't do without it now. I've only got one lens with ois and that is always turned off as the body does a better job.

Quite surprising that with a fast lens like a 1.4. Have you tried bumping the ISO up slightly? With more modern sensors you can go quite high before the quality suffers.

Hi All
Thought resurrecting this better than creating a new thread -
When using a 50mm lens at night, do you always look to have a background or are you happy without? I am talking about trees, something more solid then a pathway behind you!
I use a night light so lighting isn't an issue.

I always look to have a background at night, otherwise you just appear in a big black void.

That's what I thought, cheers for the reply.
Some swims will be a squeeze but sure I will manage.

One of my go-to lenses is the 24/70 Sony GM. As a wedding photographer, it's my bread and butter lens by I use it for fishing a lot. It's not super fast at f2.8 but if you know about topaz denoise you won't be too concerned about stupidly high ISO levels. I love the versatility of tight shots and also going wide without the faff of swapping out lenses being the lazy bugger that I am. I also love my portrait lens the 85mm f1.4, that's pretty magical. It requires you to focus with the feet but the bokeh and depth is crazy good.

yonganou 35mm on a canon body are really good for the money
