It is easy to get sharp photos outdoors with the lens, since you can get high shutter speeds and stop down. I was able to get head shots indoors that were sharp inside, but only with good ambient light. The lens requires at least 1/125, but preferably higher shutter speeds on a crop. The view is that of a 135 mm lens on full frame, so I personally had difficulty holding at lower shutter speeds than 1/125. 1/100 was iffy for me on a crop body. On full frame, it is a different story.
