Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So here is the review that I think a lot of people are looking for. How does the 50mm f/1.8 REALLY work in a low light setting. My experience, this lens is epic. I bought it specifically for live event shooting and it was a pain in the butt searching all over the internet looking for reviews on this topic. So I am doing it for anyone else out there who was in the same boat as me. I LOVE THIS LENS FOR LIVE EVENT / INDOOR / NIGHT SHOOTING! I attached a photo I took of Ashley Monroe when she was in LA. This venue was pitch black, only lighting was shining down on stage. If you are going to shoot a live event with this lens I found for a super dark venue that f/3.5 was perfect. Then you can tweak the ISO settings and what not depending on what light you are dealing with. This photo I took while standing, I was in Manual shooting, my settings were F3.5 - my ISO at 1600. This lens does great in very very low light. It does a fantastic job at focusing and capturing the light as long as you are aiming your crosshairs right on your target and you are able to hold your breath long enough to fire off 2 or 3 photos before exhaling. If you bump it down to f/2 or f/1.8 you will need a tri pod. but even with a tri pod I don't think you would get great results in low light. Hope this helps someone out there!
