[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 396892, member: 23887"] As Pretzel explained, starburst effect becomes visible at small apertures. Distance to the lights doesn't matter, as long as they are bright enough. They are (almost) at infinity. Here is an example of a shot taken at f/5.6 (100% crop): [ATTACH=CONFIG]131182._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the same at f/16. [ATTACH=CONFIG]131183._xfImport[/ATTACH] Note slight loss of quality due to diffraction at f/16. This particular lens (Sigma 17-50 f/2.8) has a "sweet spot" at about f/5.6, so the top image is near optimal. Very small apertures will always result in loss of sharpness. [/QUOTE]
