This lens can perform quite well in low light conditions, as it has a wide maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. This helps to allow more light into the camera, resulting in better-exposed images and brighter colors when shooting in dimly lit environments. Additionally, its fast autofocus system is able to quickly acquire focus even under difficult lighting conditions, ensuring that you won't miss any shots due to slow focusing speeds. Finally, the lens' optical image stabilization system also helps to counteract any shake or vibration caused by handholding your camera while shooting in low light situations, allowing for sharper photos and videos than would otherwise be possible without it.
