EDIT: Works on my 1000D.
Thanks Rowland, my PA is a but off so thats why I've been using the high Iso and short exposures. I should be getting a IR cut filter in a few days so then I'm hoping I'll be able to open the lens up to 5.6 and drop the Iso to 800, and then once I get the PA fixed as well things should be good.
