Can I use a C stand as shown here and which one should I pick? I’m looking to get a black c stand for my home studio. I won’t be moving it or touching it often if at all.

The next choice would be Kupo or Avenger which would go over $300…

ISO fluctuating based on light. I feel like the photos look decent all the way zoomed out but if I wanted to crop it in to really highlight the person on the wave it starts to blur up a little bit. Do…

Vignetting in viewfinder issue? Hi all, so I have a Minolta XT-1 with an MD mount. I have a cheap Samyang 70-200 f4-5.6 lens that has been fine for most uses, but recently my partner got a Konica t4 with a 75-210 f3.5-4.5 macro that is WAY nicer. It’s heavier and bigger, but when I look through it I get so much more light and I can focus so much better. With our 50mm lenses at…

Closest thing to Olympus pen? I have an old Olympus Pen E-PL2 that’s dying. I really loved how light and small it was and that it performed very well for hiking and travel to various countries. However, it’s starting to have a lot of bad pixels and I noticed it does not perform very well taking photos of my children indoors with artificial lighting. It seems that Olympus has…

Sony a7iv autofocus question? So I just got the a7iv and I love it. Had a question though. I only use the back button af on for focusing. Something I noticed was that, on occasion, when I press the button in af tracking mode, the af box remains white. This is very infrequent, and usually if I depress, or press harder, it catches focus instantly. Maybe this is normal, or just…
