It really depends on what kind of pictures do you shoot mostly, I was shooting a tennis tournament one time during the night session, even the aperture was set to f/2.8, I still have to push the ISO to at least 400+.

Some of the f/2.8 is not that $$$, there's a 35-70mmf/2.8 from Nikon, retail for about $500ish, it's an old model, no motor, but the picture comes out top notch.
Depends on available light and I usually shoot with a tripod... and/or with a speedlight. It still gets tricky with an f/2.8, but it certainly gives you a bit more leeway. The bokeh is nice too. I have a 50mm f/1.8 prime in the bag also, so it's not like I'm totally limited.
