At it's widest 24mm, the lens features an aperture of f3.1 making it really sluggish and not the best for low light situations and you will struggle to get good bokeh. You would also have to boost your ISO setting resulting in noisy shots. On the long end, 288mm is exceptional zoom and comes with f6.3 which is quite slow and you might have to choose slower shutter speeds.
