Lens choice option to place dark conditions

Sometimes I get questions about lenses suitable for dark lighting conditions.
For example for a music concert photos, inside the dimly lit cafe, inside the house or building or in the afternoon and evening.
There are two types of lenses that match, each has advantages and weaknesses of their own.
1. Large aperture lens
The larger maximum lens aperture, the greater the light that can enter through the lens onto the camera sensor. Therefore, the greater the better the lens maximum aperture is used for photos in dark conditions. Examples are Large aperture lens f/1.4 lens, f/1.8, f / 2, f/2.8. The smaller the number f / her larger opening.
Lack of large aperture lens that is usually the lens is widely available in the lens of prime / fixed / non-zoom and rarely found in the zoom lens. Also, when taking photos with a large aperture, depth of field becomes thinner because of that, when the depth of field and sharpness from corner to corner and the front to the background behind the photo is important, this lens becomes less ideal.
2. The lens or camera with built-in image stabilizer / damper vibration
With vibration damper, you can open the shutter speed / shutter speeds with longer without fear of image is blurred due to camera shake. On average, this feature can help to give way in light of two to three stop (about 4-8 fold).
Thus if the type of image that emphasizes the sharpness from edge to edge as in landscape photos or still life (inanimate object or product), then use the lens or camera vibration suppressed is a good choice.
Although very helpful, but the image stabilizer is not able to freeze the movement of photo subjects. When the subject of the picture moves, it will appear blurry in the photo.
3. The lens or camera with built-in image stabilizer / damper vibration
There is also a big berbukaan lens, and also has image stabilizer. This is the most ideal lens, but usually the size and weight of this lens is large and also relatively expensive. Example: Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM about 9 million, 70-200mm f/2.8 IS / VR
