35mm or 43mm for natural looking photos? Hi, I have a Nikon Z50 and I’m looking to buy a lens to use when I travel. So mostly city and landscape and sometime night sky or aurora (if it happens). I currently use the DX 16-50mm Kit lens, but I find myself taking way too many photos, cropping most of them and discarding a lot too. I think a prime lens would help me get more disciplined ab…

Which 35/40mm prime for my Sony A7iii to travel with? I will be travelling with my Sony A7iii and am looking to buy a 35/40mm lens (intending to just to bring the one). I currently am looking at the following options: 1) Sigma 35mm f1,4 Art DG DN (newer Version) 2) Zeiss Batis 40mm f2,0 (Maybe Sony 35mm f1,4 GM, but that is expensive). I am totally lost in what lens would best suit me (reportage-St…

What do you think about using an 85mm 1.8 on apsc (127.5mm FF equiv.) in place of a fast telephoto zoom? I own a zve-10, and as there isn’t an a fast telephoto zoom that is affordable to me (cheapest thing is Tamron 70-180 2.8)… I went ahead and purchased a Sony 85mm 1.8 which gives a close to 135mm focal length of 127.5mm on apsc. This is partially inspired by some photographers using 135mm lenses for stuff that a 70-200 2.8 is usually used and …

Newbie question…Will a 70-300mm telephoto be that much better than a 55-210mm for bird/wildlife photography? I have the 55-210mm and have a limited budget. Is there a market for used 55-220mm? I am very much clueless on these things so would appreciate any and all comments. Thank you submitted by /u/No_Angle_1552

Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 vc? I already took the leap and bought it but was hoping someone had experience that could clarify things. I just purchased an (open box) Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC lens on eBay for $155. The f2.8 constant maximum aperture sold me. I have seen mixed reviews. Some praise it and some say it is very soft. I got it to replace the 18-55mm f3.5 kit lens I got…

Is the Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM worth the premium over the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art? I’m currently trying to decide between the Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM and the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art DG DN for my Sony A6700. While I have the budget for the Sony GM, I want to make sure it’s genuinely worth the extra cost over the Sigma. For those of you who have experience with one or both lenses: • Is there a noticeable difference in image quality, aut…

Why is the field of view from my 18mm rf-s lense smaller than 24mm rf lense? I have the Canon EOS r50. Canons mirrorless APS-C camera. I’ve been shooting for awhile on a 24-105mm rf lense. Well my gf got me an 18-150mm rf-s lense for Christmas. My assumption was that at 24mm on my camera the field of view was actually closer to the equivalent of a 36mm on a full frame camera and that I would put the new lense on and get …

Upgrade from sony E 18-135mm? I have a Sony A6400 and a 18-135mm lens. I love the versatility of the zoom, but I feel the image quality doesn’t match the Sigma trio prime lenses. Not to mention the horrible low light performance. I’m looking to sell my sigma prime lenses, and buy a high quality zoom lens instead. Prime lenses are great, but when you’re traveling and tired …

15-45mm kit lens vs 22mm uses? (Canon EOS M50) Hello, I brought out my camera for the holiday season, planning on shooting some family photos! I’m a complete amateur, but I have the 15-45mm kit lens and the 22mm. Could someone please explain which one would likely be better for group photos and why? If indoors, should I be using flash? When is it appropriate to use it? I’d like to understand…

Canon 85mm 2.0? I used to shoot with D90 and 17-55mm 1.8 many years ago but I stopped because it was too big to haul around for birthdays, dinners, travel.
