any comments on this lens?
You'll probably get better use out of a tripod for night shots. Even with the low f stop, it won't give you a sharp handheld shot in the dark. It's good for lower light situations though.

I have one, and to be honest, I rarely ever use it. It sits in my camera bag most of the time just because of the fact that it's not wide enough to take a shot indoors and doesn't have enough to get the further away shots. However, for the price, it's a great deal if you can find a use for it.
