bounce it off a ceiling, wall, someone, just don't fire it directly at the subject as it's not natural. Just think, your eye balls don't emit light do that?

Basically the smaller the number the more light it'll let in. If memory serves the addition of 1 stop lets in twice as much light. You could put it on a tripod and do a long exposure. If you're looking to capture the detail in an empty room thats probably a better thing to do. f/8, long exposure.

Yes, a stop difference is either half/double depending on which way you go.

That applies to Aperture, Shutter Speeds and ISO.

Just picked up a nifty fifty from TP for... fifty

That should be fast enough, just need a pod now.

The sigma 17-70mm F2.8 - F4.5 DC MArco lens is pretty good for low light.
I use a Slick Tri Pod, got for about £35. It is light and compact, I will get you the model number if you wish to check it out ?
