Recommend small / short e-mount lens

Recommend small / short e-mount lens This would be to supplement a Tamron 18-300, Looking for an small, meaning short, e-mount lens, (ef for full frame too) For those times when being discrete, is important, and/or being able to pocket the camera. One of the “lens cover” always in focus type, is probably not the solution I am looking for. ​ f2.8 or faster. Prime is ok. I do need …

Lens for very small product photography (fingernail-size)

( www.reddit.com )

Lens for very small product photography (fingernail-size) Howdy folks. We use a Canon 750D (kit lens) at work – it’s all we need for most of our product shots (in a white photo tent, white background) as the majority of the things we sell are around the size of a cigarette box. We tend to move the camera rather than twist the zoom. However, we’ve recently bought in some tiny stuff, like the size of you…

Lens adaption for Sony cameras?

( www.reddit.com )

Lens adaption for Sony cameras? I think that I’m going to buy a Sony A7r ii. I remember reading somewhere that you can’t really adapt lenses onto Sony cameras, OR you can’t really adapt Sony lenses onto other cameras, but I can’t remember which one I had read. My dad has a bunch of old film lenses that I’d be interested in buying adapters for to use on this new camera, would I…

Lens upgrade for rallying, skiing, mtb, landscape photography

( www.reddit.com )

Lens upgrade for rallying, skiing, mtb, landscape photography I have an eos m200 (APS-C), and I’m looking to buy a lens with a longer focal length than the 15-45 kit lens. I’m currently trying to decide between a 24-105mm, or a 70-200mm – I’m worried that 70mm (112mm with the 1.6x crop) will be too close for some scenarios. I will be using an EF/EF…

My question is which would you recommend? 25mm or 42.5mm I will be using the camera on holiday taking various photos, or using it for photos in the woods when my friend…

How do I use IBIS on old vintage lens with macro rings on it?

( www.reddit.com )

How do I use IBIS on old vintage lens with macro rings on it? Not sure if this is the proper sub to ask this, but I’m hoping my question is general enough. So my Sony A7 IV has IBIS and I’ve been experimenting macro photo and video with an old Starblitz 135mm f/2.8 macro + additional 36mm, 20mm and 12mm macro rings. Handheld when shooting photos is doable if there’s enough light and high enough shutter spe…

The first question I have is do I have to include lens caps? (the guy I bought the lenses from did not have a set of l…

Nikon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5 G lens has something rattling inside and gets stuck to then cause the lens not to zoom in or out. Then I shake it loose and I am then able to move it.

Nikon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5 G lens has something rattling inside and gets stuck to then cause the lens not to zoom in or out. Then I shake it loose and I am then able to move it. It almost sounds like a loose screw inside. It’s never been dropped. Anyone know how to much it would be to get it fixed? Nikon wouldn’t give a price without sending it in, same for a local authorized dealer. Just want to see if repairing is worth it. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/gadgetgearnerd

MUSIC FESTIVAL LENS HELP!

MUSIC FESTIVAL LENS HELP! A few weeks back I bought a used Canon EOS R. I got a lens adaptor to use my older 50mm 1.8 lens. I finally decided to start a long interest of concert photography. The idea was to start slow, learn as I go. I shot a couple local shows with pretty decent results. Somehow in the last few days I’ve gone from that, to acquiring a press pass for a h…
