Anybody recommend a good lens for car shows, both indoor and outdoor. Does IS help, and is it worth the extra money?

richardho11 Senior Member 850 posts Joined Jun 2005 More info |  Permanent banI agree. I went to the SEMA show in Vegas 2 years ago and you DEFINITELY need a wide angle. Infact, I had a 20D and a Canon 10-22 at the time and that never came off the camera. Infact, I felt at times it wasn't even wide enough. When there are tons of people and the isles are so narrow, you would have a hard time taking photos with anything longer. So a ultra wide angle and a external flash. https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=2962090&postcount=534

Wide angle, a must...Flash, sometimes...I took most of these in Seattle with out a flash at 2.8. Next on my list is a wide angle...2.8 hopefully! No longer actively shooting...
