What sort of lens to use?
So I started off doing photography as a hobby a couple years ago, and I've been gradually getting more referrals for stuff. IE, people needing help in selling vehicles/items online, a few art shoots, real estate companies needing property photos, etc. After doing some wedding photography and keeping up with the designated photographer a good portion of the time, I got referred to a gig doing photography for a bachelorette party.
Right now, I've only got a decent telephoto and a cheapish 18-55mm f/3.5 lens which is pretty versatile when lighting is good, but I've found with low-light shooting that stuff turns out bleh(due to the high f-stop?). It's going to be a lot of fast-paced, up close and personal shooting, and often in less than ideal lighting. So I don't really need much zoom, so much as I need it to focus fast and keep up with motion in dim conditions.
This is for a Nikon D40. I can stand to drop about $300 on a lens at this time, and I don't mind buying used.
