lenses

Greetings. I'm new to this forum. Also new to film photography. I picked up a Canon A-1 and got its 50mm kit lens. The lens works great. And, while I don't rely on it, the digital exposure meter still functions and is accurate relative to my Canon R5's meter. It's also pretty accurate...

Love this lens that arrived today from JApan! :)) .... I have to get feel of its IS yet...is not very heavy ( about 760 grams ) but adding camera's weight to it - my hand was bit shaky:) I took few shots late afternoon today...

Looking to sell my Nikon N75b 35mm film camera. Comes with a Nikon ED AF Nikkor 28-200 mm lens, plus Tamron 62 mm UV filter. I realize this is a dinosaur that isn't worth what I paid for it but it is in excellent condition and I'm not using it. I also have an Olympus OM 10 that needs some...

Last year I ran across a Canon 30D with two batteries and a charger for $50 at Goodwill that looked like it had never been used. I believe this series was introduced in 2006? It is 8 megapixels. This weekend I decided that as I have accumulated five bodies and several lenses that overlap, I...

I'm a canon user so i'm thinking the 35mm-70mm would be perfect for it. however, are there better options?

Of the lenses you own, what would you say is your favorite lens for you Canon DSLR? Post a sample or two with that lens. My favorite is probably the Canon 135 EF L f2.0 prime. It's bright enough and has enough reach that I can use it at indoor rodeos (poor lighting) without the need to crank...

Hello everyone, I have a Canon EOS 70D and I thought that I might need to start working on becoming a freelance photographer. I would like to know if Canon 70D is good to work with while being a freelance photographer, I haven't really chosen which category I'm gonna be specialized in, but...

Hello, I would like your advice on the best lens to purchase for my GH3 to do mainly professional portraits (and bokeh effect), but also nice events photos--I know this seems a bit general but I am on a budget so I prefer to get only one lens for now. Currently I have the one I purchased the...

I'm considering purchasing an external lens kit for my iPhone to help improve the quality of my pictures and video, but first I'd like to get your opinion. Are they worth the money? Do they make big different in terms of quality? Can you get nice bokeh with them?

Hello, I'm Luana and I'm not a professional, so I'm sorry if any of this sounds dumb. So I won a Nikon D3100 as a gift and two years later my camera fell into the pool. I know. I cried for a week straight. But since it was in the bag it somehow survived. The only damage was in the lens, my...

Hey guys, I'm looking for any advice on what 85mm lens is best for my Olympus OM-10. From my research I can only see that there are adapters for Olympus lenses on other bodies. What other lenses can people recommend other than the Zuiko 85mm f2? (As I find these hard to come by). Are there...

I went in to my local camera store to purchase the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AF-S. I have been renting this lens for a while and I am so impressed by it's quality, sharpness and consistency that I was pretty dead set on it despite the hefty price tag. However, it was suggested that I consider investing...

Hey, friends! I've renewed my aquarium and as I have exotic fish I want to take some photos. So I need your advice about telephoto lenses. I'm thinking about Sigma 70-300 AF for EF but maybe there's something better? What do you think?

Hey guys! I came here to ask your advice. First of all, let me give you a short history of my photography life. I started with a Canon T3 and 18-55 kit lens, then I upgraded to T5i 18-135mm kit lens and 50mm 1.8, and finally, last year, I got my first fullframe, the 6D. Back and forth, I've...

Hello, I am a total newcomer to photography and I wanted a long lasting DSLR before diving right into it. I ordered the Nikon 5600 from Amazon but I just found out it doesn't have an AF motor. It sounds bad but I still don't know the disadvantages. Could someone explain it to me? What does the...

I am using a Canon body with aps-c sensor which is to consider but needing it for skate, and small venue concert photography. I was looking into the Tamron 10-24mm 3.5 but was curious if there were any out there with similar focal range that were zoom but a better aperture at least 2.8 or better...

In my 6 years of photography, the biggest question I get is "how do I get that well light look"? Well, first, have some good glass. I know, may people say that use what you have and they are right. Don't let your equipment hinder your creative process, but there needs to be a growing point at...

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...

Ok so I just recently picked up a canon 70d. I want to shoot cars during the night where I will be using a tripod. I was considering the canon 24mm or the 50mm but both have their ups and downs. I would also be interested in shooting the city at night. I also want a lens for night time videos...

I have a Nikon D5100, what I use for shooting videos. I've got a 18-55mm lens but, lately I'm starting to feel the need to buy new lenses. Sometimes I have to shoot my videos in small spaces (like in a small room), so I thought I'd buy a Tokina AT-X PRO 116 11-16mm F/2.8 DX II AF Lens. I read...
