Personally I think the fact that there is NO VR on your lens is no reason to change for a bigger lens with VR, some of us actually turn off VR for certain shots. I don't know why but meh..

The thing is, if your picture is blur, there is a few things you can do. The most basic one is

1. Move around? A lot of people just pacak there and take pix by zooming in and out. Have you tried changing position and angle?

2. Bump up the shutter speed, bump up the ISO, turn down the aperture.

3. Brace yourself against the wall, the table or anything. Take a deep breath, then snap the photo.

4. Stop looking at your lens coz it fails you by not having VR, look at the lens and ask yourself. How can I fully utilize you.

Bigger lens doesn't mean its better. I walk around with only 50mm, i lament the lost of the wide angle, but still, I make do with it lah.

Learn to utilize all the semi-auto function first, then you will realise. The lens you are looking for might be different from what you thought you want.

If work on IR signal, I don't think will be reliable. Better go with cable.

biggest problm with IR is nid to change release mode to IR remote release, which makes d main shutter release button useless in this mode sweat.gif

yup, on crop x1.5 so it's something like 42-113mm

28mm won't be very wide though.
