Not tryin' to threadjack .... ... but... .. I notice with my 18-55mm lens I am ALWAYS shooting at 18mm ,,,, , mostly automotive photography

... .. . I'm using a $425 Sony A330 DSLR ..... . . . what would be a better lens for shooting cars???..... I always feel like I need to step back 3 feet farther than I want to

I'm using the Sony A200, with an identical lens to you. I really only use it because if it's slight wide-angle, but it does not go blurry when i go over 30mm. It still looks relatively sharp at 70mm.

Did you actually Manually Focus it?

Did you actually Manually Focus it?

that would help.


and the d3100 kits lenses are VR lenses so you can slow the shutter speed down 4 stops (most i tried) before getting some blur from camera shake. i love this thing

leaning towards the d3100.

leaning towards the d3100.

hd video too.


my only gripe with that is if you autofocus while in movie mode it screws up the audio. you hear alot of the lens motor going instead of what you really want to hear. that shouldn't matter much if you're making a movie with music blaring all the time though.
