Best lens for Northern Lights? My wife and I are heading to northern Norway (Tromso) next month to see the northern lights. We have a Nikon Z50 and in no way consider ourselves “photographers” so we’re curious what lens(es) we should bring and if there are any tips or tricks we should know about. We have the two standard lenses that came with the camera (Nikkor 16-50 f/3.5 & …

Vintage lens on crop – not sharp, what can I do? So I have a Helios 44 58/2 and Jupiter-8 50/2, the latter just looks so good and is a joy to use. Both are popular because of their distinct look. I know for a fact that these two lenses ARE sharp, I’ve checked them on FF Sony and a film body (even the film scans are sharp). I’ve cleaned them, there’s no dust whatsoever, I’ve stopped down to f/8…

Does this lens from Wex look like 9- condition? I bought an Olympus Zuiko 17mm f2.8 lens as a gift. It was a toss-up between Wex and MPB but I went with the former after reading that their product inspections are more thorough than MPB. I was really disappointed with the lens that arrived, and I’m thinking of getting a refund, but I’d appreciate an outside opinion. This was my response when I…

Ultra-cheap telephoto lens? I’m planning on getting a nice Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens for Christmas, but until then I can’t really do wildlife photography with my 18-55mm kit lens. What are some good(ish) budget used telephoto lenses that are worth buying to be able to take wildlife photos for a couple of months? The ones I have found are the Canon 55-250mm IS, IS I…

What lens is better? So I’ve been using the sigma 150-600mm for awhile as my telephoto lens but since i bought the canon R7 I’ve realized it doesn’t work that well with the canon R bodys, so I’ve done some research and found out the canon 100-400mm MKii is probably my best bet at a new telephoto lens. I know that the will be a huge difference on quality with the can…

30mm lens ND filter vignette? I want to buy the sigma 30mm f1.4 & attach an ND filter. The lens is a 52mm thread & want to get an ND filter that will not cause “X” or vignette. I have a couple of options/questions 1. Attach ND filter that fits directly to the 52mm thread & would it cause the “X” or is the 30mm lens not wide enough for it to happen? 2. If it is wide enough to…

“Heavy moisture on the rear optic” when trying to sell lens? I’m trying to sell my prior camera and lenses to WEX. They’ve accepted my kit lens and camera body but apparently my 75-300mm has “heavy moisture on the rear optic” and is “uneconomical for repair”… Is this something that I would have noticed? The lens was working perfectly before I sent it in, and is less than a year old as far as I’m aware. …

I started photography in 2015, with hiatus here and there and recently got back into photography again. My current set-up at the moment is a 9 y/o Sony A6000 with Sigma 30MM F/1.4 DC DN.

Electronic Level/Lens not level? When the electronic level in my camera says it’s vertically level, I notice it’s off by about one degree mark, and have to tilt it down to make it level. The calibration option is missing. How can I correct this? I ALSO noticed that when I am shooting vertically on a gimbal with the EOS R and an RF 15-35 f2.8, the left of my frame is sloped/vert…

Best lens for portraits? I need a portrait lens for my Canon R8. I read that the RF 85mm lens is the best for portraits. But I also read that the RF24-70 is a gold standard for portraits. How can the 24-70 be so good for that if it doesn’t have the 85mm reach? Trying to decide which one to get. submitted by /u/AMomentInTime316

I use the canon EOS 2000d (not really looking to upgrade my camera just yet). I also currently have an 18-55 and a 75-300 lens. I focus on portrait photography (so I don’t love having to get so far with my long lens)…
