This is why I love SLR's - options. We just visited the Shedd aquarium, and pulled out 4 or 5 really sharp pics of fish where the background is completely blurred. My lens is something like a f/3.3-5.6. Now, with the low light and having to slow down shutter speed as well, I have a large number of blurry pics. More aperture would be appreciated - and next time I'll bring my tripod. That f/1.4 'nifty fifty' would be really sweet, especially coupled with close-up lenses.
