Zoom f/2.8 for sports photography? submitted by /u/vbslens

Is there a way to fix the broken IS on this zoom lens? It only appears when the lens is at its widest, and disappears entirely even with a little zoom. Hello, I recently bought a 70-300mm canon lens and had some issues with the IS when it is at 70mm. The lens will make loud sounds and the image will jitter and jump around in the viewfinder. It only happens at 70mm and doesn’t seem to be a problem if I either zoom or turn off stabilization. Anyone know if this can be fixed at home? Is it an alig…

What zoom should I buy ? Hello First, sorry for my english, I’m french I’d like to start photography as a hobby but don’t really know a thing about it for now. My sister do it a bit and advised me the camera she uses : a canon EOS 600D. I think I’ll buy that, since I don’t have the budget to buy a brand new camera. But the camera doesn’t have a zoom so I have to find on…

Super zoom + portraits? Hi, I have two use cases for a dslr camera; super zoom, because I think it’s cool, and portraits. Is there any camera that fits the bill? Ideally a popular one that I can buy used fairly cheap. Thanks! submitted by /u/Flat-Egg-82

Zoom lens advice? I currently have a Sony a6000 looking to upgrade to a 7iii soon. This past weekend using what I have and its kit zoom (55-210mm 4.5-6.3) I was taking pictures of a kids hockey game.

What is a good lens to go with a Canon EOS R8 for good quality 4k60p video and high-quality photos, able to pick up dark areas too, has a good optical zoom of at least over 4x, has constant auto-tracking AF for vehicles and its AF and zoom is silent for recording? I know I’ve asked this question before but I always never specify enough so I don’t get many answers, just questions on what kind of thing I’m looking for. I’m looking for a lens that has the specifications I have put in the title and that could be in the price range of £300 – 900. The lens should hopefully take good quality videos and photos fr…

How to zoom on a canon 6D? It sounds ridiculous I know. But there is no zoom buttons, no zoom settings and the only twisty thing I have on my lens is for the focus. I’m lost for words. Can you really not simply zoom in or have they way over complicated it? MK1 btw. submitted by /u/k10001k

Step zoom lens? I have a question to pose. Would it be beneficial in any way to develop a step zoom lens? For example, instead of a 24-70 zoom, the lens could be “clicked” to specifically the 24,28,35,50,70mm focal lengths. Could this idea help at all in terms of weight, size, and/or quality in a meaningful way? submitted by /u/dukenrufus

Stiff zoom ring? I just bought a second hand Sigma 70-300mm lens. I bought it from a very well known photographer, trusting that a photographer looks after their equipment. The zoom gets stiff/stuck between 200-300mm. The seller said that they hadn’t used this lens in years and it was just lying in the box for a long time. Is this why the zoom is stiff? Or shoul…

What’s the difference between a power zoom lens and one that isn’t power zoom? Google explains what a power zoom lens is… but I can’t seem to find exactly how it differs to ones without a power zoom? Is it more fit for pictures only because of it not having power zoom? Is it more manual? submitted by /u/HiYesIWannaDie

3 Primes or 1 Zoom? Hello everyone, I’ve been thinking of getting 3 primes from TTArtisan (25 F/2, 35 F/1.4 and 50 F/1.2) or a used Tamron 17-50 F/2.8 for about the same price for my Canon R50. I’ve been meaning to get more usable shots at night/low light but I’ve heard that the 3 lenses aren’t that sharp at the widest. I’d say i’m fairly decent at manual focusing …
