Fungi Spot? Hi Guys, I recently purchased a lens that had fungi growth and didn’t realize it. I eventually refitted my usual lens and noticed this spot today. It’s not dust, as it won’t blow away. Is it a sign of the Fungi Spreading from the other lens? On the rear element of the lens. Fungi Lens had growth on the front element. https://preview.redd.it/fhrc…

Sony RX100 mark viii? I have basically narrowed down my search of a camera to the RX100. It has everything i want. The only thing stopping me is the fact that it’s basically ancient. 26 december it will even be illegal to sell here in EU because it still has a micro-USB port. My old camera is a Lumix LX5 which is loved and completely wore out. When i buy a camera is …

Opinions on lens adapters as a means to save money? Hello, I’ve been getting more and more into wildlife photography and I would like in the coming year to make a jump into a high quality telephoto prime. I’m kind of locked into Sony right now, not that I regret it, but they do not have affordable telephoto primes. However, I was looking at the Canon EF 500mm f4 IS L USM with the Sigma EF to E mo…

TTArtisan APS-C 27mm F2.8 not compatible with Sony NEX-6? In looking at the compatibility section of this lens for E-mount it seems to skip over the NEX-6 going from NEX-5 to 7. Is it safe to assume it won’t work on the 6, and if so why wouldn’t it? Thanks https://www.ttartisan.com/?AF-Lens/157.html submitted by /u/bobLobIaw

I’m looking for a fairly cheap camera that would work well with color grading of rock/forests. I don’t need anything with crazy zoom or features, just something that could outperform an iPhone 11. From my limited research I’m aware that a product like this may not exist, but any help is much…

Portrait Photographers, how do capture subtle forhead bump? I can’t believe I’m asking this. I know this is weird, but I didn’t know who else to turn to. It is possible that I have a tumor in my forhead sinus region (Giant frontal sinus osteoma) and my doctor wants a picture. I have always had a predominate forhead aka frontal eminences. I also have very fair skin. I can feel and see the growing bump …
