Reccomend lens for club shooting (Nikon D60)
 
Can anyone recommend me a decent lens for club shooting. Will also be using my flash gun (obviously) if that makes a difference. Preferably want auto focus as I know alot of lenses aren't on the D60. Was looking at the Nikon 50mm 1.4G.
Are any of the Tamron lenses any good for this type of shooting ?
Many thanks, Mike.

I saw the title and thought yep i can give you a few..

Then saw you were a Noink user.

Sigma 10-20 can be of use if its a venue which is allways ram jammed and you need something wiiiiiiiiiiiide for people shots.

Haha I was waiting for that comment. Thanks anyway i'll have a gander at the sigmas

whatever you do dont listen to anyone who says the sigma 18-50 is a good lens in a club.

I took it to work once, and it then sat in the cupboard till i flogged it on.

its shiiiiiiiiiiite

Just a bit of experience ;)

I personally shoot with wide stuff 16-35, on 1.3 crop and shot 10-20 on 1.6 crop.

Sayer who shoots clubs alot prefers 17-35 on 1.6 crop, its personal preference.

50mm only gives you sod all versitility mind :homme:

Siggy 10-20 auto focuses on my D50. Cracking lens for the price tag too.
