Macro photography with old Nissin Di622 Mark II as off-camera flash possible? I have an R6 Mark II with an EF 100mm f2.8L macro lens that I recently picked up for casual macro use (insects, plants, and a newborn next year). However, I’m starting to run up against issues doing macro shoots without proper lighting, so I’m thinking of getting an external off-camera lighting setup. I have a very old Nissin Di622 Mark II speed…

There’s a tiny spot inside the lens (could be dust? dirt?) on the side facing the camera. I’ve highlighted it with a blue circle in the attached photos. My question …

Is it worth buying 2 brands of each lens? First off, I know the context of this question will kind of sound like bait, but I am completely serious and would genuinely appreciate the advice of others who have more experience than me.

Is thar mold in my viewfinder? This (image 1) is on the inside, it’s a little stringy and splotchy so I’m worried it might be mold. The frame line window (image 2) seems to have lots of speckling going on inside. Is that normal or something to be cleaned? The camera is a Bessa r2m. 🙏🏽 submitted by /u/life_in_the_day

Do I really need another prime? I have a Nikon Z50i with the two kit lenses (16-50mm & 50-200mm) incoming from Map and I’ve heard for the casual photographer that’s really all I need (no sports, no long distance wildlife etc), but I have a feeling I’ll be wanting a fast prime. I already have the good old 50mm 1.8D for my even older FM1. Should I be thinking about something new…
