Oops , Looks like i grabbed the flash first.

Actually i sometimes prefer natural lighting too but the certain situation when i shoot i realized that if i take a shot indoors w/o enough lighting and a tripod the shot is beyond difficult (at least for me lah)

And I realized that fill flash is pretty useful in its own way coz i take certain shots where the sun directly creates a shadow on the subject making the eyes and certain parks of the body blocked out by shadows.

Yeh i was thinking of lens but...

I've no idea wad to grab yet so i decided to grab a starter flash to practice on.
While deciding on the lens i want

Currently aiming for a nice Bokeh lens :P
(Telephoto -.^ F1.4 / F2 !)

I saw some shots wif
SONY(CZ)/Minolta(G) AF 85mm f1.4

Any comments if i grab this?
Oh and.... of course.. Cost Estimation? :X
( OMG ITS POISON ! )
If not an 85mm anyone got personal recommendations?
The lens is a keeper i think but would like other user's views ^^
