Yes, all the shots posted here are taken at 2nd Level, on the right side of the stage.

Hi,

Being able to take pic indoors in still so elusive for me. I am surprised it's an f4 lens and you can push it to 1/300!

I know ISO1000 helps but still..... the pictures are quite "bright". Any post processing done?

Tripod?

So... can I say that the 70-200mm f2.8 would have done an even better job?

Did use PS to do a slight Unsharp Mask, and bump up the brightness abit to make it look brigther.

Definately, a 70-200mm f2.8 will do a better job, but the killing factor is the weight, I dont have a strong arm, u see...kekeke....so have to settled for a f4.

Wow.. I know the f2.8 costs more but it's almost double (just realized)!

But, it's kind of tough to choose... cos already spend thousands on a lens.. may as well get a slightly better one. So hard to choose!

f2.8 cost double of a f4 also weighed double the weight also. 800g compared to 1.5kg.

Getting a f2.8 or f4 depends on your kind of photography, for me, usually outdoor, so a f4 will do fine for me, but if u do a lot of indoor, then a f2.8 would be better.
