Over the years of being an amateur hobbiest, I’ve collected a bunch of lenses that I thought would be useful at one point or another, but now I’m feeling like I have too many (specifically at the non-telephoto length) and I’m looking for thoughts on consolidation. Camera: Sony a6700 20mm 2.8 35…

Used Japanese Lenses with Minor Scratches on Glass or New Chinese Lenses? For the same amount of money would you rather get a used lens from a Japanese manufacturer (Sony, Nikon, canon, sigma, Tamron, etc) with slight scratches on the front element? Or a new copy of a Chinese lens (Viltrox, Meike, etc)? 🤔 I recently got an old copy of a Sony FE 85 1.8 with minor scratches on the front element for ~ 250USD and am wonde…

Modified analog lenses? After my dad passed, I was given his analog camera equipment. I’m really just starting out in photography so I instead of trying to learn film while also learning the ins and outs of photography in general, I opted to buy an adapter to use his lenses on my camera. I was checking out the lenses; getting used to focusing and moving the manual aper…

What lenses do you shoot with? Hey all! I’ve been shooting events and portraits as a free-lance photographer with 1 body and my 24-70 2.8 and so far it’s served me well — though i find myself wishing i had a little more reach occasionally!

I had the Sony a6000 for about 8 years now and have been using the kit lenses with the 50mm f1.8 prime lenses for photography.

How do lenses work mechanically? Not sure if this is the best place to ask but here we go. When I try to find the answers to this question, it’s all about physics and optics. I already know that.

Lenses for Nikon D7000? Hi, I’m hoping to move away from photography with my iPhone and more into using an actual camera- I was gifted a Nikon d7000 with a nikkor 18-55mm lens. What is the best use for this lens? I really enjoy landscape, architecture and nature, would I be better with a different lens? Still got a lot to learn with the manual settings, but that’s the…

Better to invest in a great APS-C lens(es) or to invest in a great FF lens(es)? Currently using an EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM on a Canon 60D. Got about 500-600 quid to put towards a nice lens, was wondering if I should get a good APS-C lens, or invest better long term and get a good FF lens? I mainly shoot street, people and wildlife due to where I live, with some music photography here and there. I’m undecided if I want…

Do you prefer manual focus lenses? Why or why not? We know how great the AF of modern cameras and lenses but I know that a lot of photographers still prefer to shoot in MF. Also, popular brands like Zeiss still produce MF-only lenses nowadays that are more expensive than branded AF lenses. Meaning there’s still a market for it. I’m wondering why. submitted by /u/Friendly_Excitement7

Is the focal length stated on Canon EF-S lenses the actual the focal length adjusting for the crop factor, or is it just using the same focal length factor from EF lenses? Sorry for the (somewhat) janky English, but; I was wondering if the focal length written on EF-S lenses the actual focal length that it can shoot from (for example: 18mm from an 18-55mm kit lens actually being 18mm) and it not being cropped due to the APS-C sensor crop factor. Because if you need a wider FOV, do you actually need to get a very w…
