[QUOTE="manyamile, post: 27952, member: 7194"] Mob, both my wife and children perform in several productions each year at various theaters and I'm familiar with shooting in the conditions you mention. They're challenging at best even when you know the theater layout. After rarely getting the shots I wanted with my 18-55 kit lens and high ISO on the D3100, I decided to purchase the 70-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor. The results were stunning. It's an amazing piece of glass that would work for everything you mention except "Sometimes I can get walk about on the stage with the actors" where you would likely be too close to your subjects. As Joseph stated though, it's an expensive lens, but those moments of my family on stage are priceless and this lens delivers. [/QUOTE]
