Nu har jag äntligen bestämt mig för att slå till på en Canon eos R50 och hade tänkt köpa enbart kamerahuset och inte kitobjektivet (RF-S 18-45mm f/4,5-6,3 IS STM).

Till objektiv var jag först inne på Sigma 18-50mm f/2,8 DC DN Contemporay men upplever den rätt klumpig trots kompakt för sina funktioner. Min oro är helt enkelt att jag kommer välja att lämna kameran pga dess storlek när vi är iväg..

Därav funderar jag på att köpa det mindre Canon RF 28mm f/2,8 STM .

Är detta ett ok objektiv för en nybörjare som vill börja lära sig mer inom fotografering?
Eller finns det annat objektiv som är bättre att börja med som ”allaround” som inte är allt för stor?

Kommer fota främst barnen, familjen, utflykter, aktiviteter, vardag.

Hi! I am an amateur when it comes to photography lol I got the Sony a6700 because I wanted to capture better photos than what I get from my iPhone. I got the kit lens of 18-135mm. Does anyone have any recommendations for lenses I could travel with? I like to take landscape photos and portraits. I feel like the kit lens is a bit big and annoying to carry around.

I have a Sony a7iii and i want to get a vintage lens for it.

I'm tight on budget and would ideally test different lenses on my camera so i know what to get and if it's worth it.

Does anyone in the LA area have vintage lenses that i can test in person on my camera?

I would pass by and test them briefly if possible.

I can get you a donut or something..

Thank you my dudes!

Hey guys, I’ve recently gotten my Sony a6400 and with it a telescopic 75-300mm lens. I mainly shoot close ups of animals and at airshows, so I need a lot of zoom. For this very reason I’ve been looking into the sigma 150-600. However, a friend of mine has said that his photos with it were very soft and blurry compared to his other ones. He uses a canon 80d. I was just wondering if there were any compatibility issues with the camera, and if I should still consider getting it for my Sony a6400.

Hi, I have an xpro3, and I'm having a hard time choosing between the 23m fujicron and pancake. The pancake is more expensive but has a clear edge on portability. The fujicron is cheaper and more solid (my 27mm pancake died out on me, perhaps due to front to back compression, but not certain. It just wont work, makes the camera freeze).

Would greatly appreciate any feedback here.

Purchased a used ef 70-200 mm f2.8 for sports photography and now I’m looking for a second lens that I can utilize has a universal lens. Portraits, close up shots for sports mostly, anything else. I was looking at the 28-70 mm f2.8 ef lens (I know about the crop sensor) and was going settle on that but maybe there may be more suggestions so I can look into that. For reference I have a canon r50

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Fujinon ZA17x7.6 BERD-S6 broadcast lens and an EPD-21A-A02 Focus Demand. When testing the setup without a B4 camera (with V-Mount battery), the focus servo finds the endpoints incorrectly and makes grinding noises as if it’s trying to go past the mechanical limits.

After contacting Fujinon directly, they confirmed:

* The EPD-21A-A02 is fully compatible with the ZA17x7.6

* Operation without a B4 camera is possible with correct 12V power supply on Pin 6

* They suspect the S6 servo unit may have been removed and not correctly reattached by a previous owner — some screws appear to have been tampered with

Now my questions are:
Has anyone reattached a Fujinon S6 servo unit themselves? The unit has 3 gear wheels that interface with the lens. How do you correctly align and reattach it, and is there any way to recalibrate the servo endpoints without a B4 camera or Fujinon service software?

Any help would be greatly appreciated — trying to avoid sending it to Fujinon service if possible.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on streamlining my gear setup. I currently shoot with multiple systems, each assigned to specific roles:

Leica SL2-S: My main workhorse for client photo shoots and video.
My primary lenses here are a 16-28mm f/2.8 and a 50mm f/1.2.

Hasselblad X2D: My dedicated setup for landscape photography and occasional client portraits. I prefer keeping this system relatively compact. Right now I have the 45P, and I am planning to buy the 28P (approx. 22mm Full Frame equivalent).

My Dilemma:
Once I get the Hasselblad 28P, I know the medium format file quality for landscape work will completely blow the Full Frame 16-28mm . Because of this,

my mind is telling me that I don’t really need the ultra-wide zoom on the Leica anymore.
If I drop the 16-28mm from my Leica kit, its only remaining advantage would be wide-angle video. However,

I am also planning to buy the upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro , which will likely handle my walk-around wide video needs much better anyway due to the integrated gimbal and zoom capabilities.

The Question:
Should I sell the 16-28mm f/2.8 to help fund the 28P and lighten my daily carry load? Or is it wiser to just keep it as a backup "just in case" example bad weather day because hasselblad is not weather seal

I'm thinking of getting 70-200 gm ii but the same time few of my friends recommend to get 50-150 F2.. I knw it's 1100$ extra u have to pay.. but is it really worth it ? I'm doing sports photography and videography.. also wildlife and now moving to small functions and portraits.. can someone help me 🥹

Hello! I gotta find a lens to scan my 35mm rolls at home! I’d need a Nikon F mount lens but I have no clue which lens would be the best. As of now I use a Nikon 1j5 to scan and I’d like a lens that I could also use with my nikkormat FT2. Can you guys help me out?

P.s.: I already have the adapters from F mount to whatever the J series mount is

I am new to the field of photography. I recently bought a canon 100-400 EF 2 lens. Initially, for a few times I rotated the zoom ring while the tension ring was in tight mode. I felt the resistance. Then I realised I should keep it in smooth mode for work. My question is whether this might have caused any internal problems.
