Recommendations to upgrade from iPhone Camera? I’m definitely in the amateur category for photography but I love it and want to take better photos than what I can get from my iPhone 16 Pro. I’m looking for something that is small so I can easily carry it around with me and get high-quality photos of everyday life. Taking good pictures in low light is important to me (dim restaurants, etc.). …

Does Fstops smaller than F/2 make a significant difference?

Does Fstops smaller than F/2 make a significant difference? Currently have a Fuji 23mm f/2. Am looking to get another prime lenses and considering from Viltrox or Sigma. For everyday/travel use, leaning more to landscape photography. Ignoring all other factors, would f1.7, 1.8 make a significant difference from f2? And also f1.2, f1.4? I also understand that lenses with smaller Fstops are more expensive…

What speed lite should I get? I have the Canon R50 and R6 Mark II (both take RF lenses) I’ve been researching but I don’t know what speed/flash lite I should get. I know I would like to have it mount to my camera directly or to it’s own stand with a trigger. Is 1 enough or would I need to eventually expand to 2. I’ll use it for indoor shoots – events, headshots, and glamour…

What are some tips for shooting the sunrise at 500mm? In several months, the eastern US will have a partial solar eclipse. In my town, it will start before sunrise, be around 60% at sunrise, and last for 15-20min after sunrise. It’ll be over when the sun is at around 5 degrees elevation. I would like to photograph it rising above some buildings with a 200-500mm f/5.6 on my Nikon D7500, unsure of th…

Darkroom music?

Darkroom music? Back in my 20’s, I spent some time as a pro’s studio assistant. He listened to opera in the darkroom and I actually enjoyed it which is funny because I hate opera. Then photography fell out of my life (work, kids…). Now, I’m in my 70’s and am getting back into it – doing darkroom work again and exploring digital editing. If you’re into that t…

If Nikon were to make the ZF the same size as the FM2, or attempt to, what modifications would be necessary to adapt the FM2’s body for modern mirrorless use? I ask because, after watching countless videos, many people comment on how large the ZF feels for its SLR-style design.

If Nikon were to make the ZF the same size as the FM2, or attempt to, what modifications would be necessary to adapt the FM2’s body for modern mirrorless use? I ask because, after watching countless videos, many people comment on how large the ZF feels for its SLR-style design. Would they need to remove buttons, dials, and possibly even the LCD, or could all of this be reworked into the design, but they just choose not to? Imagine the ZF with a native F-mount for using old Nikkor glass specifically. I’m just curious. I know Fujifilm’s crop sensor cameras are pretty compact. Take the XT1, for example—it was a great came…

How do I make multiple cameras looko cohesive and what lenses should I take on a safari? Both technical question and buying advice but it wouldn’t let me pick both. I’ve been into photography for a while and told I take good pictures, but I really haven’t taken the time to learn nearly enough. I’m headed on a safari in Africa in July, and was hoping for some advice, and I’m going to do a ton of prep in advance. I have a Nikon D750…
