It would come close to the long shutter speed - multiple flash i was suggesting.
The flash would freeze a moment when the drop falls and since it strobes you see the drop fall and hitting the water and that all in one shot.

Sorry for confusing all you youngsters.
What I'm trying to get across is that the 50 fills an awful lot of the frame from a reasonable distance, which is good for portraits....
Carl good luck buying the lens, it's a very interesting and useful range.
Would be an perfect walk around lens for most occasions.

I sometimes use it in problematic situations were sometimes SV is better and then AV, it's quite easy to switch between those modes when in P

Don't forget that the 50 on a digital body equates to 75mm(ish), making for a very nice portrait lens.

My girl still says she loves me so won't be looking for a new one.
Hefty it's a profession I couldn't do so I admire you.
Do you use a neck-strap with your camera btw?

And when the lighting isn't constant I will use AV.
I did try TAv once but couldn't get the hang of it maybe i should use it more.

I have tried P mode a couple of times. I the only thing I see it good for is bracketing your subject. Is there another good reason to use it? I am not being sarcastic, i just haven't used it much and can't see any advantages.
In normal mode it's like the green mode and is fully automatic.
But when you change the aperture it works like AV mode and when you change the shutterspeed it works like TV.
The ability to switch so fast between these modes is just very handy in some situations.
I use it as an advance auto mode and when the camera does something I don't want i can change that to my liking.
