[QUOTE="aroy, post: 421839, member: 16090"] With D3300 you have 24MP to play with, so you crop a lot, especially if you are not going to print big. I think that 85mm F1.8 will be just right, depending on how far you will be from the stage. I have shot with 35mm from about 15 feet and that covers the stage nicely. With 85mm you may have to move to 30 feet to get the whole stage. The faster the lens the less noise and alternatively lower the ISO. In my case I find that f1.8 with ISO 400 is perfect for songs, but you may have to up the ISO to 800 if there is slight movement. That is assuming normal lights. If the stage is well lit, then ISO 400 will do. Alternatively, you can try the Auto ISO. Set the minimum speed at 1/250, and maximum ISO at 800. Set ISO at 100, and then take a few test shots in similar light to check the speed and ISO at f1.8. [/QUOTE]
