The description states "Ideal for indoor sports and portraits " but is it equally as good for outdoor pictures? Say for landscape pictures?

Oh, I'll add this:"Great for indoor" yeah that's matketing lingo for "this lens has a big, fast maximum aperture of f2."All lenses are mostly "good for outdoors/broad daylight". But faster max apertures can suck in more light than others which is particularly useful A) if you want amazing bokeh and shallow depth of field (B) you're inside and have horrid light and the extra 2-3 stops will get you the shot.

no it has problems with sunlight go to youtube there are lot of reviews on this ,but believe me this is a old lens and so doesnot have features of new ones but it outlasts every other one for potraits and party pictures or marriages.exceptional clarity go to dxomark and pick the lens and camera and look for the scores,it will help you

Depends on your eye to capture the image you want since the 135mm has a narrow field of view and Landscape encompass a lot of view. Again, depends what you are trying to capture.

Bishop, I wouldn't use this lens for landscape work. I primarily use mine for portraits. I have a super wide zoom lens for my landscape give me that panoramic look (Canon's EF 11-24mm f4). If you want a great portrait lens, I'd go with the 135.

I dont know about "ideal" for sports in any sense. Sure, it's a great lens but for sports you'd be better off with the flexibility of the 70-200 IS Mk II. If your game is landscape... This is also not your lens, as 135mm is just far too long a focal length for probably 90% of lanscape applications. You want the 16-35 F4 L for that. Now.... If you want the best lens ever made for portraiture.... Trade money for this lens immediately. I own all the lenses Ive mentioned. Perhaps tell me more about what you're really looking to do with this lens and I'll be happy to offer suggestions. To be clear this is a jaw dropping amazing piece of glass.... im just concerned it may not be what you need based on the question you asked

Iam not sure about being comparable to the 110d but not a good choose for landscape it meant for up close portraits or at least in everything I read

I would recommend it for outdoor use, as long as you could install some type of water-tight globe over it. It is not built to be directly exposed to the elements. The power cord with AC adapter is rather short, so you'll have to install some type of covered power outlet as well. I think it could work, as long as you have a long overhang or something. I wish I could offer more advice, but I use my cameras indoors.

I use it almost exclusively for architecture and landscape shots. It's fast enough for some indoor work, too, if it's fairly well-lit.

This camera does excel in 2 of the 3 ways you mentioned...very lightweight and easy to travel with and it does great with portraits. I have not personally done many landscape type pictures so I am not sure how it does in that aspect!

The outdoor colors are very good. I have it outside our front door, and have some software snap three shots while panning when motion is detected. Like the other comments here, I'm very pleased with this camera.

I would assume that it would be great for the group photos, where wide-angle is important. I have only used it for landscape photos, so far, but for weddings...why not?

It will work well for action. If you go with the kit lens(es), try to keep the f stop above 5.6. They are sharper in that area. Also, set your focus point to center (most likely). I used it extensively for my daughters indoor volleyball

No, its not good for portrait shots. You do not want lighting blasting into the face of a subject. Lighting should come from a 45 degree angle to the subjects face.

The camera does well for both because there are specific camera settings (night/low light and sports/action). I took great shots at our bonfire the other night and the sports/action setting takes multiple shots per second. I have never been disappointed with this camera.

I use it for bird photography in my backyard. Sport photography with good light is another use.

i wouldn't recommend it for any sport photography,because it's wide angle and because it's manual focus. i would rather get a telephotolens

This camera does not have a "sports" setting. It does have a "burst" setting for continuous shooting when you hold down the shutter button, but it is not real fast. If you are taking single shots, its not too bad, especially outdoors.

I do not recommend this for outdoor use, it is great for indoor use (do not place next to a window where direct sunlight will hit the lens). There is really no way to protect this from the elements without building something really bizzare to house it. I use the "Agasio A622W Outdoor Wireless Pan/Tilt IP Camera" for outdoor use. It has withstood heat (100 in the shade), rain, ice, snow and extreme cold (below 0) and is working very well

Outdoor video is okay, as long as there is good lighting. The low lux on this particular brand is not all that exciting, making playback of videos taken in low light situations somewhat fuzzy and greyish. The zooming qualities should work fine for sports, although you shouldn't expect the quality as compared to that taken with , lets say, a 14 0r 16 megapixel camera. Hope this was helpful.

I think so. Is perfect for photography. You can always adjusted to make it look good in the pics.

If taken outdoor pictures then this will be wonderful lens. I do most landscape and occasionally indoor portraits. It give you very sharp pictures and autofocus is so quick at dark environment. Remember this is a prime lens, not 24-70 nor 70-200 mm F2.8, you have to be very creative and zoom in/out by your foot. I sold mine Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 to get this one and no regret (I like the Sigma very well and was too heavy when hiking, nothing wrong with that lens, just to clarify)
