Wide and Fast, you are asking the impossible as far as lenses. Typically extra fast lenses at f/1.4 fall in the 35mm - 50mm - 55mm - 85mm prime range. You might do better with a newer Full Frame / FX camera for higher ISO and less noise, say a D750 and a 20mm f/1.4 lens. A 10mm to 15mm f/1.4 Prime for DX camera, good luck finding that.

A question tangentially related to this thread. What is the "fastest" lens out there? Say, is there an f1 or f0.5 lens useful for low light situations as encountered by the OP in this thread? Is such a thing possible, physically what would it look like??? The fastest i have personally seen is a 50mm f1.4 prime. Thanks
f/1.2 50mm or 55mm lenses are not unusual. Canon used to make a f/1 50mm. And I know there was one f/0.7 Cine lens made for Stanley Kubrick. There have probably been a few f/0.9 lenses in production. But for most of us look to f/1.2 or f/1.4. Personally I own F 1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0 50mm/55mm fast primes lenses.

It might help but depending on the church people tend to move some what a slower shutter speed can only get you so far...

If you are not using a tripod, you should be. That may be the best solution. You can shoot at 1/4 or 1/2 second and gather all the light you need. >Alan

At least try a monopod. It may be less stable but it would be more portable between shots. And you do not need to fuss with spreading out three legs where you might not have room to do so. Just watch the shutter speed.
