Hi all,
Just was wondering if the Nikon 135mm f/1.8 has been useful for photographing wildlife (in particular birds in flight) when there is very little light? My f/2.8 is just not enough when I need a higher shutter speed (1/800 and higher) for the owls near us when they take off at night (even when I turn the ISO up to 25,600. Tried looking at the Flickr Nikon 135mm f/1.8 group but don't see any pics of the type I want to take. Maybe the DOF is too narrow for such shots?
Thanks for any experience with this.
