OP is under the impression that f8 is the sharpest setting for the lens which is why he chose it.Just as an FYI, the sharpest stop is actually f5.6 or therearound. But I digress.The point here is, that f8 is absolutely not appropriate for night photography. You'll want to be using lower f stops for lower light conditions as well as a moderate ISO. With that lens, start at your lowest f stop and select and iso of 800, see if that merits you a better image. Don't worry so much about shutter speed when doing night photography, it really doesn't matter too much as long as the other pieces of the exposure triangle are in place.</blockquote>
