Feb 25, 2014 22:27 | #3 milleniumking wrote in post #16717288  Hey all. Going to the comic con in a couple of weeks. Been doing some reading and i think i have my lens setup. 70-200 is 2.8 and 50 1.4 I wont be carrying around my lowepro back pack because i think it may be a bit crowded. I want the ability to zoom and also have a lens for a quick 3/4 body shot of costumes/cosplay.... I think these are good lens choices. What do u guys think? The most useful lens will be an 18-55mm. One those lenses generated these images under the conditions you will face.   As important as the lens will be a Canon EX-series flash, especially one of the units powered by at least four AA cells.You probably will need several spare sets of batteries.

Feb 25, 2014 23:49 | #5 1Tanker wrote in post #16717999 ^ 18-55 won't be too useful with a 5D III. I'll admit the error and advance the discussion with examples from a lens more suitable for a full frame camera, the Canon 24-105mm f/4 L.    Again, since these images were stored and compressed by Facebook, they should be considered only example if the sort of framing possible indoors at close range from a full frame camera. It'll be interesting to see any other examples or samples from potentially useful lenses for the stated purpose.

I can get a 3/4 body shot holding the camera portrait and not being to far away from the subject with my 50mm. I think having that lens and the 70 - 200 would be perfect.

It was a pretty busy environment - but I was determined to make it work  Thanx. Ya i think i will be ok with a 50mm & 70-200. Good shots by the way!
