Thanks for your kind words. It's a matter of taste of course. For some shots you need to get closer, and for others you need to get wider ... Well, the 1.8 definitely performs better when stopped down a little. But in this kind of situations, you'd probably run it at 1.8 anyway. It still is more than a stop faster than 2.8, and that can be quite something. As a matter of fact, on other occasions I was forced to use my 50mm to get the shot I wanted exactly because of that! But here, I was using the zoom exclusively. ISO probably was probably fixed on 1600. Hi Lionel. Thanks for your kind words. It’s a matter of taste of course.

I agree that the constant 2.8 is nice. My understanding is that you probably wouldn't want to use the 1.8 at 1.8 anyway, because it performs better at 2.8. Your photoshopping ate the EXIF information, so I can't tell what ISO you were shooting at. Take care.
