Having a max aperture of 2.8 helps.

Thanks again for all the comments, I'll try to get some more shots with this lens. I got some pictures with my previous lens for now.

Yeah ours has f2.8 too, but just cant seem to get the shots that bright. Then again, I'm usually shooting under PC lighting (ick).

Not sure if you're asking me or ElGuappo but I change mine all the time, usually anywhere between 320-1000. I generally play around with multiple setting until I get something I like.
