Yeah, its definitely not my indoor lens of choice, but I've used it up until about 30 minutes after sunset when its clear. The high ISO capabilities of modern cameras help extend the usefulness of slower lenses like this.

Great start.. It might not be a 2.8, but it's FAR from being an Ordinary lens. You're right, it's not a 2.8. It's an ordinary 4.5, that's my opinion. Am I not allowed to have my own opinion around here? Canon 5D Mk II, 5D Mk IV, 1D x Mk II.

Kind of weird to compare a versatile, all-around zoom to a specialized prime. The only things your 300 has over the zoom is the aperture (which isn't that big of a deal anymore with the modern improved sensor performance) and some sharpness, neither of which honestly isn't anything all that extraordinary. What is extraordinary is the 3x the cost you pay for the prime

My money is my business, not yours. Chill out, chief, nobody cares about your money, or your gear choice for that matter. As for your certainly subjective opinion, we're all so much more enlightened since you decided to chime in.
