Hi. I'm interested in photographing furniture that I've built and I'm wondering what kind(s) of lenses would be best to shoot items like the images in the link below. I have a Panasonic GH4 and a 20mm 1.7 lens but I'm wondering if this will be a good fit? Is there a particular lens length that...

A bit of back ground info first: I've been doing some photography for about 4 years now, just a hobby, I'm nothing of a pro for sure. I started off with a used, old D70. My primary lens was a 35mm 1.8 DX. It gave me fantastic results consistently. Just a year ago I decided it was time for...

I currently only have a 24-60mm, and 50mm lens right now and needing a wider lens while I'm closeup in an intimate venue for live music shots along with being in close tight areas with my subject in other occasions while needing to get more background in. The only catch is it has to be a zoom...

hello fellow photographers! I'm in search of the correct adapter for my 50mm lens to switch over from my film camera to my digital one. The lens is canon and my digital camera is a canon rebel T5. Any suggestions would be great!

Hi all, im new to photography, need help to assure whether my lens has fungus. its an old film camera and lens i bought recently. i notice it has marks inside the elements around the corner, im afraid they are fungus. i assume they are just cleaning marks and i hope so. Since I store it in a...

I am getting my first wide angle lens and need some advice. Most of what I shoot is landscape photography, however, my only lenses are the Sigma 50 1.4 A, and the Canon 70-200 2.8. I am about to purchase a new wide angel lens and I want to go with a prime, Sigma Lens. When I saw the...

Hi, I've had a canon DSLR Rebel T3i for 4 years now. I originally bought an Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens as I was told it's a good lens for beginners. Now I'm looking to see what would be the best next level up lens to get (I have an issue with my filter being jammed and I was...

Hey guys, I just started getting into photography the past few months and am totally addicted to it! I'm really into street photography around the city as well as landscape photography, so I'm looking to upgrade my lens that came in my Canon bundle. I'm super interested in the EF24mm f/1.4L II...

Hey guys, Fairly new to photography here so bare with me. I've just bought a used Kitstar 80-200mm 1:4.5 lens (with macro capability to 1:4) from a consignment store - it didn't come with a manual or anything. I believe I have figured out most of it, however I'm confused what the green and...

Hi all, Got this amazing portrait lens in mint condition (bought this January) for sale. Cap, hood, back cap, and all the paperwork included. Price (before shipping): £160. Will be happy to consider any shipping destinations!

I have an 18-55 kit lens which is doable, and a 50mm f/1.8 which I absolutely love, but seeing as most of my photography involves nude or lingerie portraits in a small bedroom, the zoom is often way too close for me to have a variety of angles. I love the low aperture for the overall look of the...

Hi guys, I'm still kind of beginner. I have the Canon t41 and I just bought the 50mm/ 1.4 lens. I would love to shoot night portraits with a nice bokeh effect. Like have the street lights in the background look beautifully blurred. Which are the best settings for that in manual mode? I can't...

Hi, thinking to buy DSLR or maybe mirrorless FX camera with some really good lens. Firstly let's talk about body. I like Nikon D810 (D810A), Canon 5D Mark IV and Sony a7S II. Nikon is simple to use, at least for me, but Canon has newer body with some features, and Sony is the best with ISO, but...

I'm torn between the two and I can't decide which one I should get next. I've been using the 50mm for now but I'm looking to get better quality and a sharper result. I live in New York so I also want to capture some of the background as well so I don't want to completely blur out my background...

****Accidental Double post, please ignore this thread.****

So I bought a new sigma 18 - 250 lens, and I noticed that when I am looking downwards to take a photo (at an angle of 45 degrees downward or more) the part of the lens that moves to zoom slides out from the spot that I had it at. However, this does not happen if I have the lens fully retracted...

I want to get the Samyang 135mm f/2 lens for portraiture, but the Rokinon looks exactly the same but is 25% cheaper. What is the difference?

Canon 7d mk ii w/ 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 II and acc. I purchased a 7d mk ii three months ago with an 18-55 kit lens and a bunch of filters. I purchased it brand new from bestbuy with an extended warranty and no questions asked 3 year accidental coverage. I'm ready to upgrade to full frame. Camera has...

Hi, I'm new here, never been in a forum before. I need some help from you. I'm from Brazil and camera stuff are too expensive in here. My ancle is going to Paraguay next week and he's going to buy me a 80D or a 70D. The thing is, plus the camera (body only) I only have money to buy a single US$...

Hi, I'm new and had a question about the Tamron Adapt-A-Matic line from the 70's. Since I was born in 1996 This lens is twice as old as me and I have no clue of what I got in my hands. I got a Canon 70D so I need a converter from Adapt a matic (the mount of the lens) to EF. Now I know that...

I am debating whether to buy the soon to be released Canon 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM, or the Canon 70-200 mm f/4L USM. They are nearly the same price and I am torn. I am in need of a new telephoto lens. Currently there is little information on the 70-300, but the specifications seem promising...

Hi, this is my first post on here. I have a Canon 6D and I'm looking to use it for film. I currently have a Canon 50mm f/1.8 (the $100 one). I'm looking at either getting a Rokinon cine lens like this (I've used their 50mm cine lense and liked it). But this Canon zoom lens is in my price range...

Hi, I have been dabbling with my 600D for a while now. I have the 10-22 usm Canon lens which is great, as well as the kit 18-55 and 55-250 lenses. I also have the 28mm f1.8 prime, which I truly love, but it is broken at the moment. Recently I have been trying to shoot some portraits, i.e. been...

Hi there! I currently own a 50mm, and the 70-200mm. Those work great outdoors and for portraits, however I'm looking for a wide angle to add to my collection. I'm looking for some lens recommendations that fit my wishlist: 1) I take many photos inside my house since I'm a blogger, but I can...

I have a T3i with a cheap lens for everyday shooting. I would like to find a lens that will take good pictures of my sons hockey games. I'm able to produce clear, crisp photos, but he is too small(far away) to be identified. My question is what kind of lens should I be looking for. I am a...

Picked up this beauty off eBay for $214. The seller had the Best Offer option so I said why the hell not. I offered $200 and much to my surprise, they accepted! When the lens arrived, sure enough the rear lens cap was tough to open. I just used my undershirt and gave it a twist. Came right off...

Hi I just bought a polarizer for my srt 101 and I was wondering if my light meter picks up the effects of the polarizer or if I have to compensate for it myself?

I'm taking a last minute trip to Yosemite and I have some aerochrome type film and I was unable to get a true yellow and orange filter to get the proper effects but I do have an 85a and 85b filter my question is if I stack these two filters will I have a true orange or something close to it? I...
