ugh tough decision.

I've got the second one and it isn't bad. The one thing I don't like is that it punctures easily. It is amazingly versatile and the compact shape is great, however I never saw it as much better than a simple plastic diffuser on the flash.

I have also noticed that it darkens things up a bit more. As I have a 3.5 this is bad, definitely has caused problems. Once you get used to it though you compensate.

I haven't used the Gary Fong Strobe thing, but everything I hear is amazing. It is large and a bit unweildy looking, but the results seem to speak for themselves. I would consider it if you plan on doing event photography in mixed and variable lighting.

Wicked. I think ill go for it :D

Seriously, Do you really need like a million different lenses? Just go out shoot, experiment and most importantly have fun…After all, not everyone can afford that new 2.34905+L lens.

Because I have a gym membership?

stand up.

2.8 does not freaking matter

bump up your iso a stop and quit whining.

2.8 matters alot. allows for a smaller depth of field, low light shooting without bumping up the ISO - cause i hate noisy pictures. after using 2.8 lenses, thats the only lenses i will allow myself to buy, except for my nikon 18-70 3.5-4.6, which is an awsome lens.

Actually, I should probably be able to have the most valid oppinon of ANY bb member here.

On that subject at least.

ahem!

stand up.

you only catch me sitting at the back of the club in vip

.243 that is a funny remark comming from a good photographer. 2.8 does alot more for u then just low light, dop, bokah. u should know all this. u can always push your f stop higher. but why have limits if u don't have too. 2.8 or lower all the way. I'm not speaking out of my ass eather this is through experance, or using other lenses.
