		| | F3.5 at the wide end (28mm), climbing to 5.6 as you move to full zoom.  Guessing you re talking about the 28-80 in your profile. |

		| | What length is the lens when it will only go to 5.6?  If you have it all the way out to 80mm, then the lowest f-stop is 5.6. 
 For the tamron 28-80mm you have - the lowest f-stop at 28 mm is 3.5 and at 80mm it is 5.6.
