Is f/4 suicide indoors? Anonymous
I want to rent a lens for some event. I need a moderately long reach because I won't be able to get close to the subjects.

The thing is indoors with not much light and I can't use flash.

Can I get motion free pictures with f/4 and ISO 1600 with a 400D?

Depends on the lighting, but I often have a hard time getting motion-free pictures even at f/2.8 and ISO 1600.

Okay, what are my options for long reach and fast aperture?

How much reach do you need?

I want torso to head shot from maybe more than 5 meters. Would be absolutely fantastic if I could do full body too so I'm trying not to get a prime because I won't have much room to move around.

85mm f/1.8? I know you said no primes but that's probably your best bet.

f/4 would be absolute death indoors.

I have to agree with>>123893in that even f/2.8 and ISO1600 can be very challenging indoors.

At a company Christmas party I went to in December, they kept the lights half-dimmed. I had a hard time with f/1.8 and ISO1600.

Would be too tele on crop body for indoor stuff. 50mm would be a better option. if you're renting, 50mm 1.4 or 1.2
