question
I'm doing event photography and mostly shoot large group shots. I have read and heard so many good reviews on this lens and i'm really tempted to make a purchase, but my question would be if i really need the F2.8 since i won't be able to use such a shallow DOF apart from taking portraits. Another question would be if shooting hand held under low light conditions using a relatively lower shutter speed(1/60-1/100) will my pictures start to show camera shake due to the lack of Canon's Image Stabilisation feature?
Asked by: Gates L.
I am not a professional photographer but purchased this lens for similar reason to you. I use it almost exclusively to photograph individuals and groups at indoor (frequently evening) events. The F2.8 was of particular interest due to low light conditions even with flash. There's no question that low shutter speed will increase the likelihood of blurring due to instability but it hasn't been a significant issue - and then there is always a tripod. This is a terrific lens and - most frequently used by a long shot.
