[QUOTE="carguy, post: 419490, member: 12521"] Thanks for the heads up Eyelight. Kevin - looks like some nice shots out of the gate. You can do a lot with the 24-85 you have now. I'd look for something 'faster' (f2.8 or 1.8) to narrow the depth of field for some shots. Maybe sell that for a 24-70mm f2.8? Consider a 70-200 f2.8 for nice compression on full car shots? (Sigma $1K, Tamron $1,500, Nikon $2,400) I've used a 50mm 1.8G for some shots ([URL="https://www.flickr.com/photos/michiganclassics/sets/72157642067826074/"]flickr album here[/URL]), 1.4 is pretty fast and I don't need that much personally, your individual taste may vary :) I take all kinds of car images, up close detail shots to full car shots. You can use any lens to shoot cars really depending on what your end result is. Checkout some work from the following shooters for some ideas; Matt Trombley (izthistaken on social media): [url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/matttrombley/[/url] John Jackson: [url]http://notstockphotography.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
