Does f2.8 on an ff gather more light vs f2.8 on crop? So, I basically saw a quote, and just was wondering if it is actually right.

If this is true, then an f2.8 lens would gather more light on an ff then an equal f2.8 aps c lens on an aps c camera right? “The lens 17-70 F2.8 is a compact general-purpose…

Name for a exhibit with sets of 3 photos of same type of subject? I have a exhibit coming up and am displaying 15 photos in sets of 3’s.

I have preliminary name ideas like “Tripology”, “Triplism”, “Typology”, “Trinity”…not sure I like any of the…

Sony a6400 vs fuji xt30 ii – which is best for my use case? As a beginner ish photographer, I’ve owned two cameras before (sony a6000 and fuji xt30ii). I don’t think i ever gave either a proper shot.

Whilst it was good for portraits, I guess it wasn’t suitable for learning other type…
