What about INDOORS? Will it filter too much light out? I shoot low-light all the time.

I would think so but really don't know what you are shooting and what effect you are looking for.

Well, if you're shooting indoor "low light" then there isn't much need for an ND filter. Unless you're also using a flash? It's really great for shooting, say, beaches on really bright day and you wanna open up the aperture in order to blur the background without over exposing your picture.

That's its purpose. It is designed to reduce your light by several stops. This can be used to enable a more shallow depth of field (wider aperture) in bright situations, or to blur motion (slower shutter speed). Indoors, low light, this would probably not be appropriate (unless you wanted to blur motion, but it shouldn't be necessary if the light is already low).

Yes, it is excellent! The Pro Low Light setting when using Macro mode makes it a snap for indoor close up shots!

Should do just fine in nyc. Mine is doing very well with filtered light and never gets direct sunlight. The temperature stays around 70 inside.dont see any problems for you

Yes because the objective lens is quite wide (allowing for more light to enter - thus good for indoor use), but the piece is somewhat bulky and has some weight to it. If that's not an issue then yes, it would function well indoors where light is an issue.

Ive only used indoors, but i assume if you have an electric outlet close to where you are photographing then you could use outside.

Hi There! Sorry, but I haven't used this lens indoors and I am new to photography. I bought this lens for my trip to Africa and for my daughter's outdoor sports. I live in the Pacific NW where it rains often so that's the main reason I bought this lens is because of the weather proofing. So far I have been extremely happy with it's performance. I shoot with with the K5 IIS. Sorry I can't really comment on the numbers or stats of my pictures. All I know is the pictures I've taken have been pretty amazing. Cheers!

I found it to be very good in low light, I used it all the time while shooting in the dark low light environment of the northern California redwood forests. The shots came out very good, but I always shot in Raw, might have something to do with it.

It depends heavily on how bright you want the effect to be and how far away you are able to place the fixture. In addition, there are two different lenses that allow you to have a wider or narrower field of effect based on your needs. In essence, there is no good way to answer. I can tell you from experience that I have had a usable effect covering an entire wall at the end of a large ballroom using the narrower lense in extremely low light, but to do so I had to place the unit itself at the opposite end of the room.Sorry if this is less than helpful...

If you are going to shoot where there will be plenty of light, then yes this lens will be okay. Here I hope these videos helps you, since I am still experimenting with this lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap0NQfWuKKEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wZAvUmPUA

During daylight hours, it does so very well. When using the IR lighting, there is a lot of glare. I've tried several ways to eliminate it, but so far no luck. I have read where someone blacked out the lights on the camera and used IT illuminators outside, and that worked. I'll be giving that a try myself.

no doubt this is a great lens, but it is a little too much zoom for indoor portraits - you have to be rather far from you subject to get proper framing - also don't forget the T3i has a 1.6x zoom multiplier because its not a "full frame" sensor

I think so, I have not used it much indoors but on my D7100 I took excellent graduation shots in the shade. You may want to check ken Rockwell's site for more info?

Yes I use it indoors....I have a area with ten ft. Ceilings.... It works just fine....I use my little tablet to film my swing... love it

I don't like how it shoots in low light situations. BUT you can push the ISO in AV or TV mode and it should work OK. You may have to remove some digital noise in the editing.

You'll probably want a lense with a wider aperture to let in more light. Something lower than F/5.6. You can get away with it if you set your ISO high enough, but if you're trying to snag indoors and zoomed, an F/2.8 lens is really going to make for much better pictures. I've used the 100-400M F5.6 indoors and it works, but you have to be willing to use the ISO set high and accept slower shutter speeds. The dream lens that is the absolute best IMHO is the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. The F2.8 is great for indoors, it features image stabilization so you can free hand it really well and the focus and clarity is amazing. It's expensive, but it's amazing what it can do.

Good question. Unfortunately, I've only used it for a short period of time and that was always outdoors. It's probably enough wide angle for indoors, but not so sure how good it would be in low light situations like indoors, especially if you're using them for something so important like real estate photos. Wish I could be more help.
