This lens is perfect for events like weddings. It is great for indoors. It can also perfect for the outdoor use especially when it is cloudy or at night. The IS on this lens is amazing. The colors and contrast are the best I have ever seen.

I got this lens to replace the 70-200 f/4 which is neither fast nor has IS. If the 70-200 f/4 IS existed then, I would have never bought the non IS f/4 version. Would I still want this lens? It is hard to say. All that is history. I promise you this is the best lens in this range that Canon makes. Unless it is too heavy for you or it is beyond your budget, I would highly recommend this lens.
