What a difference a lens makes! Ever wonder how the pros have these super sharp images? How they can shoot in seemingly impossible situations? When the best you can do is outlines, silhouettes and a lot of grain. Fast lenses my friend. They are not cheap but the results are amazing. I like to rent the 70-200mm, f/2.8 lens. The difference speaks for itself. Fast lenses have the larger aperture openings that range from f/1.4-f/2.8, where the average kit lens might start at f/3.5-f/5 which are fine for outdoors but difficult to work with in low-light situations.
There are several rental companies out there that allow you to try these lenses before buying. It is a great way to generate professional looking images for important projects. This allows you to build your portfolio and clients until the day comes when you can afford to own this type of glass. Try the 70-200mm, f/2.8 lens, I guarantee it will be instant love. It is heavy but the results will be noticeable.

| Fading light & shallow depth of field. |

| Using the longer focal distance foreshortens objects. |

| Literally a game of catch me if you can. This lens had no trouble keeping up. |
