Grid options for Profoto Zoom Reflector II? Does anyone have any advice on which grids fit the Profoto Zoom reflector 2 other than the Profoto ones? $500 for 3 Profoto grids sounds too excessive to me. I checked the Impact, Speedtron and Godox ones and they all seem to be smaller according to the reviews. submitted by /u/hijazist

Why are my pictures coming out grainy/static-y? To be completely fair- I did just purchase a 50 dollar lens on amazon. Totally aware that that means it will not be super great quality, but the reviews were surprisingly good! I looked at the pictures other people took with the same lens and they looked amazing. They all seemed to know a lot more about cameras than I do ( which is very little )…

Compress RAW images to JPEG XL for long term archival?

( www.reddit.com )

Compress RAW images to JPEG XL for long term archival? For those who want smaller RAW files, do you think lossy JPEG XL will have the same quality as RAW, in a way you can still edit them? I was thinking to convert RAW files to JPEG XL and compress it further in a ZIP file before putting it on external drives. submitted by /u/sumimigaquatchi
