Yes, I will be taking pictures of both the place and the people, especially of people being natural and not concerned about me, so I would avoid the flash for that reason too (also, the setup becomes too bulky with one).
I also enjoy very much shooting at 24mm but I’m not too comfortable with it in these situations, I’d like to be closer to the subjects but further from the scenery (if that even makes sense), but since I’m renting the lens I can go for something expensive which does both!
That 15-35 f/2.8, is it the RF one? It’s one of the lenses I’m considering. Do you have like a sample gallery I can take a look at?
I have experience with a 24mm prime and I was never truly satistied with landscape/scenery pictures because it was too narrow for them, and neither with portrait pictures because it was too wide. Of course, this is with it in my hands, there certainly are people out there who can use it better than I do.
I’m using a RF 15-30 f/4.5-6.3 when it’s bright outside and I like it a lot, I like the flexibility it gives me, that is why I’m tempted by the absolute brightness of the primes I’ve found, but also I’m tempted by the flexibility those zooms give me.
I don’t think I’ll be using an external flash because I fear my setup will become too cumbersome to carry around, and I prefer the feel I get from pictures when there is no flash involved :(
Thanks, I feel like this a lot. I love taking pictures with my “cheap” 50mm, and if I didn’t restrict myself to one lens only I’d bring that too because I just love it.
The 15-35 is the one tempting me the most, I’m just asking knowledgeable people if it will be enough for me with my crappy hands given the low light environment :)

Which lens for low light event + portraits?
Hi everyone, although I like to study the photography topic, I’m really a noob when it comes to practical terms....
