I think you should get a wide angle lens to do photo shoots for cars.

this guy is a genius. :hail:

+1 :lmao:

But it is a valid question, especially for kids of his age, it is always good to take advice, so no offence to the OP. $500 is a lot of money you should spend wisely :thumbup:

I'm just trying to get a straight answer, not just people suggesting me to take classes. I like to take car meets and Car photoshoot, but right now I really want a wide angle lens to do photoshoot for cars.

Your kit lens can take descent car photos, unless you want an ultra-wide lens? I am not sure if that will help you much. Maybe some experts here can shed some light on this.

I see a flash in your wishlist, flash is a good tool to learn too.

The 18-55 works fine for cars.... Ultra-wide will only distort the vehicle.

$500 budget I'd either get...

Nikon 50mm f/1.4G

or

Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AND an SB-600. And have 75 bucks to spare.

I was at a car meet and I see people using different kind of lens to do a coverage and I ask them and a lot of people was using different kind and recommending me to get the one they have. So what is a good lens to do coverage that I can snap each car and move on?
