Which camera lens for vehicle photography?
Hello,
I am new to the world of photography.
For my work, I take pictures of vehicles every day.
No matter what the weather.
The pictures are mostly taken outdoors.
We use a Canon EOS 700D, whose standard lens has now broken.
Now the question is.
Is it time for a new camera anyway or will a new lens do the same job?
At the moment, I'm also very dissatisfied with the quality of the images. Especially with white cars and sunshine.
Which lens is recommended and which programs are available to edit them (free of charge)?
Thank you 👍

It seems that neither the camera nor the standard lens is responsible for the unsatisfactory quality of the images, but the light at which the photos are taken.
If I get you right, it’s not about “art.”
Maybe the one or the one who makes the photos should look at what light the effect is.
You can even save the post-processing.
Otherwise, I find Lightroom CC totally practical because it works on the phone and the PC and you have the pictures about the Lightroom Cloud everywhere. This is only by far not free.
Thank you. Well, the pictures must be shot at any light conditions. And now a lens has to come. Which would be suitable and is generally suitable for vehicle pictures
So what happened to Image II is ugly to me. The shadows of the car do not match the totally dark front. Figure 1 is better by no objective in the world. There are plenty of reflections on the body, which is reflected in any case bright.
Are the cars always photographed in the same place? Then you can build a kind of photo box that damps or scatters the ambient light and additionally provide suitable art light from the appropriate directions. I could imagine that you could build something like this from crossbeams as well as for stage construction relatively cost-effectively, then you can also mount a white awning as a roof and a few spotlights for possible indirect light.
Here are two more pictures. The pictures are edited by AI.
And which objectively would be suitable? The pictures are always made free and unfortunately there is no way to build something. And a new lens must come tomorrow. Thank you for your help
The same standard zoom you had before is completely enough. If it’s supposed to be better. Then, for example, Sigma Art 18-35 f 1.8 worth a look. At the EOS 700D, it covers the slightly more wide-angled range up to the standard focal length.
What is responsible for poor quality is not the camera/objective combination, but the changing lighting conditions and a noobie behind the camera. This also changes a new camera nix, so the same photos will come out.
As a new lens, I would like to Canon EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 IS USM black from € 799.00 (2023) | Price Comparison Geizhals Germany recommend. You get much cheaper.
The photos should be made in as uniform as possible lighting conditions and then illuminate themselves. If you don’t have a garage that’s big enough, maybe at night in a public garage.
Gimp is a very good free photo editing program that I also use myself.
Even Gimp cannot conjure and has nothing to do with the question of TE.
In addition to the already mentioned, a flash is helpful for lightening, as well as a pole filter can help to minimize unwanted reflections.
I would use an EF 85mm F1.8 from Canon. The lens makes excellent photos.
Every lens goes according to what you want. From wide angle to tele. It’s a question of skill, what you do.
