That'll be fine for the ring.
Doesn't really matter how fast your lens is when panning either.

I've owned the Samyang, great lens. I was very concerned as it my first manual lens, but as it's a fisheye it's almost impossible to take an out of focus shot with it, even at fairly wide apertures everything more than about 2ft in front of you is in focus anyway.
That said, the Nikon 10.5 is also a peach, buy one used and you wouldn't lose anything on it if you hated it. One of my favourite photos was taken with it...

Clio 182
Tried my hand at a bit of light painting tonight on my 182 and just cannot seem to get my settings right on the camera e.g. ISO and aperture. Was trying for 30 second exposures and it just wasn't happening the way I've seen it on here. Was using a decent big led torch light.
There are no rules to photography... as such. No two situations wil be the same.
Read up on the stickies on here - practice even in your lounge. Put it in one mode, such as aperture priority - leave everything else alone and see what happens when you change the aperture number.
As I've said before - if you want help, just ask. I don't think you're too far away from me (Laindon).

Does anyone experience with Canon EF 35 f/2 (non IS) on an APS-C body ? I could buy a second hand one at a reasonable price. I read a lot about this lens, I know it has got some weaknesses, but its IQ is very good. Especially for that price. Comments are welcome 
I've a 30mm Sigma on my 7D .. much nicer to use than the 50 from a view/ 'zoom' / framing perspective (for want of a better word )

Does anyone know why my Flickr keeps displaying some photos as a black fuzzy screen? ...
I think you've unplugged the aerial.

It's just me then? Doesn't matter what device I go on, phone, iPad, mac etc it still does it ???
I have come to the conclusion that the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens is one the biggest lens bargains out there. I'm not sure if there is anything else that comes close to the money it costs (bar primes).
I was on the fence when I first got it. No image stabiliser, and so small and light for a constant f2.8. Couldn't have been more wrong. I have got a very sharp copy, the zoom is excellent and has a lock switch too.
If you are after a constant f2.8 on a budget, then look no further. IQ may not be quite as good as the Nikon version, but you would have to pixel peep or be printing pretty bloody big to notice. Plus the Nikon is 3-4 times the price and twice as heavy. Also it does not have VR either.
Its now now become my standard lens, shooting anything from action to portraits and safe in the knowledge that the lens has 5 year warranty. Also is has a small filter size so the filter from my old 16-85vr fits straight on.
Talking about the 16-85vr, the Tamron is about the same size and weight.
Anyway, will stop the ramble!

£359 from wex.
Can be a lot cheaper if you don't mind imports but the warranty sold me on the UK version.
This was the 2nd copy as the first had a really loose zoom ring. 2nd one is spot on and been through about 2000 shots so for if not more.
Was very useful lens for indoor action too.

Hey folks... I'm going to a black tie dinner on Friday, and have been asked to take some pictures!!
As yet I'm unsure on the amount of light in there, so have borrowed my dad's flash gun... Neither of us really know how to use it, and I'm unsure whether it has an auto function! (It's very old haha)
Any hints or tips for both indoor and/or flash use and setup would be thoroughly grateful cheers

Don't point the flash directly at the subject either, as you'll get some nasty shadows appearing behind them.
Have a play around with it like Aaron says, to get used to it.
What camera and flash is it?

550D I'll look at the flash when I get home. I understand about bouncing off the ceiling anything I can use as a diffuser other than a proper one?? This flash is super old, it has like a slider for different apertures or something? Not sure how it works haha should be a laugh experimenting with it!

Yeah I've got an old one with aperture select on it. Also the flash pulls in and out for different focal lengths. I've not used mine for anything important really, just to light up foregrounds while light painting.
Maybe tracing /grease proof paper might work as a diffuser?
