What lens for your DSLR/Mirrorless

[roguerobot]

At car shows, I find that a wider lens is the best, because you are typically limited to how far you can get from cars. A wide lens will allow you to get much of the car while being quite close. The downside is that there can be some minor distortion, but that is easy to control if you keep the lens on its longer end and you can fix it with software. My lens of choice on my APS-C Canon 40D is a Sigma EX 10-20, which I use most often on 20mm.

18-55/80mm, at the lowest f-stop range you can afford. Remember that with crop sensor cameras it's not true focal lengths but it's a factor of that higher. Here is a good article on it: DSLR Crop Factor conversion chart - Digicamhelp

I'm an Olympus OM-D shooter (and PEN-F). I like a 17mm f1.8 prime lens, and also Olympus' 12-40mm f2.8 PRO. The 7-14mm f2.8 PRO is fantastic for car shows too because you can get really close but have a nice expanse of blue sky or whatever the environment is behind the car. Nice carrying around such a compact system!
