[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 269229, member: 17556"] It is not great at low light anywhere. It is a max aperture f/4 at 55mm. If you zoom it out to 200mm it is max aperture of 5.6. Not good for low light. It is a 200mm focal length so on a crop sensor you will see the same field of view as if it were a 300mm lens. But, even at 300mm if you cannot get real close to the ducks you won't get good close up detailed shots and the lens isn't very sharp at full zoom. Not what I would recommend for a bird lens if you cannot get within 10 feet of the bird. [/QUOTE]
