I tend to use my DSLR (Canon 300D) quite a bit indoors in low light
conditions (eg inside churches, or when travelling, in dim rooms where
flash is not permitted). For these situations, I tend to have to take
hand-held shots due to time/space constraints.

Given this scenario, and assuming all other things are equal on a lens,
is it 'better' to go with an f4 IS lens or a f2.8 lens?

I've currently got a Canon 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS and the image
stabilisation certainly is excellent and proved it's value. However,
would a f2.8 lens allow me to take hand-held shots in lower light
conditions?


Yeah! My aging eyes can hardly compose at 4,5 in low light.,.. I
use 2.8 or faster indoors and in low light.. I can see, compose, and if
necessary manually focus.. The AF works faster as well.... ]
