“Does the lens work well in gymnasiums? I own a D3100 that I love, but I have never purchased a zoom lens. The lens will be used outside a great deal, but will also be used to take photos of basketball games indoors. I have read that this lens is not the best in low-light. Just need some help defining "low-light" for this lens. The lens that came with my camera works pretty well in lower light situations. Just trying to figure out if this is what I am needing and wanting. Thanks so much for your help. :)”

I've used this in a gym before and my pictures still turn out great. You just have to adjust your settings for the lighting.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would have to set your ISO to a much higher setting indoors in order to get the necessary shutter speed to freeze motion - and take sharp images. The lens is a good lens. At 200mm, however, the fastest aperture you can obtain will be f/5.6 so you will definitely need to shoot at an iso of 1600 or higher.
