its VR so it should do fairly well indoors without a flahs, with a flash it would do good. thats the lens i have but mine isnt VR

 

[thisisoriginal]

I think you'll do fine, either make sure there is enough light, or use your flash

Im using a 28-80mm and it does fine indoors with flash..or enough light

if you were shooting at 18mm to get the full 3.5 you might be able to get away with some indoor stuff...but it wont be the easiest thing to do

Thanks guys, guess I have to play around w/it, I just hate the way flashes look. Although yesterday I was experimenting with the different flash levels, I just hate how manufactured they look, I want something more natural.

I'm also a noob w/it so it could be something else entirely, i got it to look pretty good bumping up the ISO but it got too grainy.

I got my Nikkor 55-200mm DX VR today.

Here's a quick comparison shot between my old Quantaray kit lens and the new Nikkor:

Keep in mind that the Nikkor is physically longer, so that's why it's "zoomed" in more.

 

[ferio-moreno]

dayum! thats a whole lot sharper

 

[Eran]

Yeah it is. VR is the s**t ... that and Nikkor glass.

 

[Eran]

Both crops straight from the RAW meat.

I have the 55-200mm Nikkor without VR and it pretty much sucks. Definitely wish it was VR.

 

[Eran]

Yeah, the VR one focuses way faster too.

 

[thisisoriginal]

Do you guys all use auto focus over manual usually?

 

[Eran]

I usually use AF because I'm lazy.

 

[thisisoriginal]

haha, mine over corrects itself..so i never use it

Do you think camera shops charge a lot to fix the auto focus?

 

[Eran]

It's free to ask.

 

[Eran]

Had to play a lot to get this in focus. Manual, of course. I hear telephoto lenses aren't great at macro ...

 

[Genuine Rolla]

I always use autofocus....I couldn't manually focus for crap.

 

[thisisoriginal]

Are you serious pete? dang...I wouldnt use auto unless it was moving...

It's free to ask.

haha I guess so

 

[abs0Lut]

I have no idea how to MF.

 

[Eran]

Turn the ring till it looks focused?

 

[GETxERxDONE]

my cam has a light in the eyehole thing (cant ever remember the correct name for this..viewfinder? didnt sound right..) but theres a light in there that blinks faster and turns solid when its focused
