Why did my lens lose ability to focus? I bought a used lens from KEH. The tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro (model f004). I used it for a while with no problems. I keep it in a dedicated camera bag and take very good care of my gear. I mainly use manual focus for macro work. I’ve used autofocus in the past and it’s worked perfect. But one day I tried to use autofocus and it didn’t work. I coul…

How much do you spend on photography as a hobby? I want to buy a Fujifilm X-T5 in the future to replace my decade old Canon 70D which I got from my dad. The problem is that the body alone is pretty expensive, and the lenses I want (16-55mm and 27mm) have hefty prices as well. The mark one versions are more reasonable but the second version of both have improvements that are appealing to me. I …

Best Heavy Winter Jacket for Wildlife Photography? I feel like a jacket for an outdoor photographer, especially in harsh cold climates, has certain features. I’d love it to have at least two or more front exterior pockets for miscellaneous gear needs. It would also be nice if it had on-the-chest hand pockets for quick hand warming, rather than down at the hips. Not brightly colored, fairly durab…

Godox Flash Firmware Updates… Chances of Malware in Launcher? So, most plebs use Godox flashes (like me), so some of you surely have tried to update the firmware (have mercy on your souls). I am on a Macbook. The Godox G3 Launcher V1.1 seems to be the one to use. Problem is, Apple cannot check that this is free from malware–so it seems we are being asked to “Trust” that this Chinese company is not putting …

Nikon Viewfinder and Live View problems? So I’ve been using my old Nikon D5200 and recently I have this issue for a long time now, here’s the problem. – When I shoot using Live View mode which is way slower to reset, the image output is crystal and it is on focus, no motion blur on the subject.

what film gives a similar result to the instax mini? I really like how the instax photos come out, but I would prefer to get a camera that I can easily transfer the photos to my cellphone with no borders, just the full shoot and a better quality.

Got the Om1 for €1345. Was it the right decision? Hey everybody! I bought the OM System OM1 with the 12-40 f 2.8 pro II at black friday for €1345. I was not familiar with micro 4/3, as I am coming from a Nikon DSLR Aps-c camera. I have been testing the OM1 for some time now, but I am wondering whether I could sell it and buy another camera. Reason being I am not into wildlife photography. My go…

Been a couple years, working on a quote. How much to charge? So I had my own photography business for over 15 years. In 2020 that kinda came to a close and I moved away from all my clients to live in the mountains and started a new career in the outdoor industry. I had a great client that ended up hiring me for a three day shoot back in the city in mid 2022. At that time I charged $1,000 per day of event…

Is It a Good Idea to Use the B&H Payboo Card for Monthly Purchases? I’ve been looking into the B&H Payboo Credit Card, and the idea of getting instant savings on sales tax is pretty tempting. I’m wondering if it’s a smart move to use this card for regular monthly purchases. Here’s my concern: the APR is super high (35.99%), so carrying a balance would definitely cost me. But if I pay it off in full every month, …
