I'll say it again, this is not my style of shooting. I just dragged the camera out to see what it was like.

With all the technical blah-blah-blah, I thought the OP might like to see something reasonably close to what he had shot, but with f2.8 instead. Or a picture is worth a thousand words. I hope it was illustrative and allows him to make the best decision for his need and his budget.
