Great pics! Amazing how well they turned out given they were night time shots.
Between having a faster lens to use and just going to ISO 400 I was very excited about how they came out. A wide angle helps too as far as motion blur.

A couple with the 50- 135mm at the B52's concert that night:


Lead singer Fred Snyder (still getting 1/160th second exposure- no vibration reduction on either the lens or camera- hand held):


These really came out sharp. Not really any processing on these two other than convert from RAW and resize. I like both of these lenses very much. I was considering looking around at the fair for a small tripod or monopod but did not even need it.
