It seems to be a relatively clean break as from what I can tell only the connection points and an electronics strip are broken. I am wondering if repair is a viable option, where I might be able to send it, and how much it might cost, as well as if there i…
What lens to buy? Hi, I have a few different lens options to buy for my Pentax K-x. I’d use them mostly for wildlife architecture and Portraits.

I have following opt…

Lens Replacement/Upgrade Hello, Purchased a Canon T7 Rebel kit last year and have had tons of fun taking pictures. The lens that came with the camera, EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, was great for my use but unfortunately it was dropped and damaged.
