[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 204296, member: 16749"] I've found that the stock 18-55mm lens that came with my D3200 just doesn't work for this kind of photography. It's nearly impossible to get it properly-focused at infinity. I took these pictures using some of my ancient non-AI lenses from my F2. Alas, I do not know for sure what lenses I used for these first two pictures.
