[QUOTE="hark, post: 523581, member: 13196"] I don't have the lens and have never used one so my comments come from shooting in somewhat low-light situations. Here is a SOOC photo taken yesterday immediately prior to the Worship service. It was a test shot to check the exposure--it is completely unedited except for forum resizing. I was in aperture priority--no exposure compensation was used. ISO 2500, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens shot at f/5, 1/80" shutter speed. I'd say the lighting was not overly bright by any means but a little brighter than it looks here. Most of the images taken were shot at @180-190mm.
