Hi everyone,

I recently made the leap to "pro for hire".
I did my first nightclub shoot, and at times my d5m2 would not focus. I tried aiming away from the people (who were usually co-operating by posing and standing still), aiming at a wall or a floor. I missed what was probably the best shot of the night because the people got impatient. suggestions anyone ?????

. . . or get a faster lens that can "see" in low light situations.

The 5D Mk II is a great camera ... it doesn't like, however, focusing in low-light situations.
I would try to do manual focus in such cases.

The 5D Mk II focuses the same as any other DSLR in low light . . . it is the lens that makes the difference. If you lens is not a constant F/stop throughout the zoom (ex. F/3.5 to F/63) it will always have trouble in low light conditions.
