I like to do people shots in existing light, especially for things like
parties. (I think a flash is too disruptive at times like that; I want to
get what's happening, not what people want the camera to see.) There have
been times that having another half-stop over the 55/1.2 wouldn't hurt.
(Then again, my dad and I had a discussion after his 40th anniversary party,
which I shot like that; next time, he'll get Portra 400 instead of
160...even so, the pictures had a nice, intimate quality from being a bit
underexposed, in tungsten light.)
