In low light conditions, I used my Minolta 50mm f1.7 AF and I had to have it wide open more-or-less and got shallow DOF as a result. Was under tungsten lighting conditions and no flash allowed!
would love a lens that gave DOF without flash and wide open (ish).

135mm Sony-Carl Zeiss lens (more precisely Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135/1.8 ZA, code: SAL-135F18Z). A lens I don't own but desperately wish...Pirate wrote:

28mm f2 for me. I tend to be close in in low light. Here's an Alpha 700 shot - Kelso Abbey on the way back home from the post tonight:
1/50th at f2, handheld, 6400 ISO, tungsten setting, normal NR. Reduced to 1000 pixel width and verticals corrected before doing this, using distortion to get a better balance than the original shot.
