When shoot wide open at f2.8 at night, what else do you expect? Like what Ortega said, stop down and you should have less of such problem.
For a $500+ (ok, i got grey, $600+ local) lens, this lens is very value for money, me no complaints.
If you have to step down inorder to get a decent shot, why the need for f2.8 lens?
Hi,
Is this lens a fixed aperture at f2.8?
Pls advise how to vary the aperture if it is fixed one?
Thanks

Have no regrets getting this lens. Besides the price advantage over the Nikon 17-55mm F2.8, it's lighter as well. I don't depend on photography for a living so cannot justify the investment for the higer end Nikon.

Fixed aperture means the maximum aperture you can shoot at is f/2.8 at all focal lengths. It doesn't mean you can only shoot at f/2.8. You can stop down the aperture to f/4, f/5.6, f/8 and so on.
Yah, I am waiting for Alan to get their stock in, but so far no news.
Orient Photo selling grey set $600-$620, 3yrs shop warranty. Wonder if should go for grey set.
Nv try TK?

Sorry for the OT: Is Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 as good? :think:
The Tamron 17-50 is out of stock in Alan Photo (both SLS and Funan), Cathay, Lord's, TK.
So those looking for this lens can save the trouble and give these shops a miss.
