You know those $15k super cameras? Like Medium Format Hasselblads? Who makes the best use?

Just got my Tamron 70-180 I for $580, wants a tripod mount. Any recommendations? Just got a first-gen 70-180 2.8 for myself as a Lunar New Year’s present for $580. However my main camera is actually an a6000 making the body very imbalanced while mounting on a tripod. Therefore, I’m looking for some good 3rd party tripod mount for that. Any recommendations? submitted by /u/OrganicInformation15

Is a tiny bubble inside the lens normal? I’ve recently bought this Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN E-Mount and noticed a very small bubble inside the lens. I still haven’t got a chance to test it on a sunny day to see if there is any glare but shooting indoors doesn’t seem to have any issues. Returning the lens is possible but not without a hassle. Should I return it or is it a relatively commo…
