Definitely. I bought this lens with that in mind and is very pleased. It takes wonderful pictures with low light and gives you good control over the focus of the image.

Yes, I would definitely recommend this lens. I have all the high end lens and shoot wedding photography. But this is still one of my favorite lens. So sharp and clean and great boca.

I have one. For the price... it is a great lens. Make sure it is well mounted and set camera to high contrast and max sharp. Don't run it more than 12-1500mm. Hard to focus but does a great job "for the price." On a side note: the lens mount is high maintenance and will loosen after a few uses. Make sure your camera body is supported somehow. Take the lens off when not in use.

This is a question to ask a specific seller about a specific lens. This venue is better for questions about the model of lens itself.

I think you'd be much better off using the fastest lens you can get and kicking up the ISO. The lens will probably pay for itself.

Okay, thanks a lot, new at this and I wasn't sure if the lens quality is the same. I appreciate everyone's help!

Not mine... I'd expect that model to be significantly more expensive, seeing as a lack of these features allows for such a cheap lens to begin with.

I haven't compare it but I have a friend that owns a Lumix, I might do the test. Let you know.

Should work,but I would expect fairly poor results from that lens,use a prime or shorter zoom

Being that this lens was the lends to have before the 24-70 and used for fashion shows and pretty much everything, I think it'd be a smart buy. I bought one for concerts because of same reason, I can't afford the 24-70. I was very happy with the first concert I shot with it, using a D5100 no less. I recently also got a D7100 and feel it'll only improve things further. I've done a few other shoots with it as well. It's definitely worth having.

It'd better response than my Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens. No more low light hunting the images!

I agree. Make sure your lens is decent. Other than that it takes great photos!

I have and it's great. Focus ring is incredibly smooth. Very well built lens!

No, I would highly suggest going for the VR version for a few extra bucks. This is obsolete. I also would suggest getting a new version as this lens is old and many used ones won't operate correctly.

Yes - no problem. Just keep in mind it's not a high-quality lens - more of cameraphone quality.

Just from friends words I would take the two lens. The difference is not noticeable. Not my opinion.
