Title: Great portrait lens
Review: I am a non-professional photography enthusiast. I purchased this lens for the specific purpose of shooting indoors at long range without a flash. As long as I lean on something stable, and take my time focusing, I can get maybe 2-3 out of 10 shots in focus. This is due to the lack of an image stabilizer, which is why the price of this lens is very affordable. The same lens with image stabilization runs a couple of hundred bucks more. This lends is great for nature photography in outdoor light (preferable bright) with a tripod, and taking portraits, which I love to do. I am now investing the extra few bucks in another lens with an IMAGE STABILIZER (Canon) for indoor use at long range. If you are looking to shoot sporting events, or indoors at long range in dim light, invest in a lens with image stabilization. Otherwise, this is a light lens that takes fairly clear photos in natural light or indoors with a flash. Love Canon products, and love Amazon!
