[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 256592, member: 12948"] By low light and another use for this is indoor type shots where the light is really bad and you need to be able to open up your aperture to gather more light. Its really a great lens and a steal at the price it goes for. I use for it about everything, but its mainly for close up portrait type shots. you can use for sports and such, but you will need to get really close and do some cropping from the photo. If you have kids and will be shooting birthday parties is another example. The list can go on and on. Most photographers will have a 50, 85 and some have a 35 or 105. These single focal range lenses are referred to as prime lenses and there are many more I just listed the main ones you hear about. The lens you have is a great start but you will get noise in your pictures if you get into to low of lighted area and with these prime ( fast) lenses you can make up for that light and decrease the noise in the image. For an example of noise, in film days it was referred to as grain. Best thing you can do is start shooting pictures and figure out what you need after that. It will take a little while, but the NAS will kick in soon enough. FYI, NAS is Nikon Acquisition Syndrome, we all have it. [/QUOTE]
