I know Dave won't be pleased if I say I want to buy a lens for a camera I don't even own The longer you wait, the older he gets, and the moment will pass. Ryan is VERY tough to photograph. I don't have many posed photos of him for a reason - he doesn't sit still and he'll purposely run from the camera and make a game out of it. Actually I don't enjoy taking photos of him (but I do enjoy the photos). The good thing about the portrait lens is that it is FAST. Fast as hell. The G9 can't keep up with Ryan at all. I really struggle with that, but you know it's still a great camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
