Which lens should I buy to upgrade from the Sony a6000 kit lens? I bought the sony a6000 + kit lens around 1 month ago and I am looking for a lens upgrade. So the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens is great and all but I feel quite limited with it. What I’m shooting mostly is city, landscape and sometimes wild animals. But I would like to try more wildlife, low-light and also some astro-photography. For that, I’m look…

Safe to bring lens to the beach? I have 3 lenses Sigma 16mm 1.4, Sigma 18-50 2.8, and Viltrox 75 1.2. Of which, only the Viltrox is advertised as having weather resistance. Both Sigma lenses have a rubber gasket at the mount tho. I have an upcoming beach trip and was thinking of bringing 2 lenses. I’d much rather have the 16 and the zoom, but I’m worried about sand or salt get…

Question about my Meike 35mm 1.7 lens. Is this distance indicator dial between the aperture and focus ring supposed to rotate? If not, does someone here have a fix for it? The lens works perfectly fine, its just bothering coz i can’t remember if it should rotate or not. It just feels kinda weird. TY submitted by /u/Capable_Elk7732

Lens Recommendation for Fuji X-T30 First off, I am not an expert. I like photography, but life always gets in the way and it is mostly something I do during the holidays with the kids. My kids are 8 years old, and photographs tend to be indoors during the holidays or a piano recital, or outside at a pumpkin patch or the beach. My kids are all I’m photographing. Budget: $1000 I on…

9mm ASP-C lens vs 15mm full frame lens So I’m relatively new to photography but I’ve recently just purchased my first full frame, mirrorless camera and I’m looking at wide angle lenses for interior shots of houses. I’m wondering if anyone can explain, in simple terms, what difference would using 9mm asp-c lens (with a 13.5mm full frame equivalent) make vs spending more and getting a …

Nikon 50mm lens for Italy Hi! I just got the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G for my Nikon d750. I’ve been using the 24-120mm Nikon lens for years and it’s worked well for me for my portraiture, event, and fashion work. I’m not use to the 50mm but so far I like it. I’m going to Italy this month with family and I’m wondering if I should take both or just the 50mm to force mysel…

Personally, I enjoy taking pictures of wildlife and landscape as well though. Currently have an M50 w/ the 15-45 mm & 32 mm 1.4 for shoots with people.

Is sensor damage possible with sunrise/sunset pic with telephoto lens. So, I took some sunrise photos at 400mm with the new mirrorless camera and afterwards I started to worry if “waiting for a good shot” can eventually cause sensor damage. In particular, I was watching the LCD waiting for birds to fly through the frame to take a pic so the sensor was exposed the whole time for minutes at a time. There doesn’t appe…

Annoying lens reflection Does anyone know how to remove my headlights’ reflection in the air? I get it in almost all my pictures but mostly it’s unnoticeable or acceptable. But in this case I can’t stand it. Also what do you think of the shot? Legit spent 4 hours editing but I also didn’t really know what I was doing so I wasted a lot of time doing things that weren’t n…

I currently use a Ricoh KR-Super II with a Ricoh 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 Rikenon P Macro lens. My camera takes any K-mount lens and I’m looking to upgrade to a f/2.8 or larger.
