I used to carry my xpro2 and 23mm (35 equivalent) everywhere. I mean everywhere; pub, beach, cycling, holiday, canoeing, coffee; everywhere.
Life got in the way and I stopped taking photos I’d like to start again and I’d like some help buying something that will give me the passion again. My heart would like to try leica but my wallet thinks my heart is an idiot. Any help/ ideas appreciated…
This is probably a dumb question, but I am headed to Germany and Austria this spring. I’m trying to decide what to bring.
I have an OM-1 and the 12-45 f4 and 40-150 f4 lenses. I have access to the 20mm 1.4 too.
A close family member has a Fuji x-e5 along with the sigma 10-18 2.8, the Fuji 23mm 2.8, and Sigma 18-50 2.8 that he suggested I take as well. He has no lenses longer than the 18-50 for that system. I’ve borrowed it a few times and like the camera a lot. I just worry about the weather sealing and lack of anything longer than 75mm equivalent.
But he is also suggested I take his Sony A7CR along with his Sony 20mm 1.8, a Samyang 45mm 1.8, and a Sigma 65mm 2.0. Again, he has nothing longer than that. I’ve only used that camera once, and it is pretty awesome too. My concern with it is not having any long glass and, again, weather sealing.
Anyway, my biggest worry is whether I should just take the OM-1 because it goes out to a 300mm equivalent, take one of the other two options, or take two systems. I can carry two, but not three.
Anyway, which option or options do the people of Reddit think would be best? Given these options, what would you do?
Im really happy with my pgytech onego lite 22L for lighter gear, but its just not enough for a bigger wildlife photography setup, any advice what to get?
Hi all, I'm travelling to Malaysia in a few months which will be my first international trip with my camera, and includes a few days in a rainforest.
It'll be dry season, but still wet, and I know to bring a rain cover and silica gel packets, but I'm looking for a day bag that:
Is not a backpack;
Is waterproof; and
Big enough to have my telephoto lens attached.
My current gear is:
Nikon z5ii
Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Z mount
Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S
Nikon AF-S 50mm F1.8G F mount
Keen to hear people's thoughts/tips/suggestions.
My anniversary is coming up and my other half is starting to enjoy wildlife and birds more and more, I've been researching for days on what camera best suits her needs but I'm so lost between brands, models, features and prices that my head is spinning so I figured I'd ask incase anyone is willing to help out.
For context she has a set of binoculars and a phone mount for them that I 3d printed a while ago for one of the lenses, so I hope this will spark a deeper passion than just a fun thing to do while I'm fishing.
From what I've grasped is that I need a 75-300 or better lens, and a good "frame" but not exactly sure what to start with, my budget is around 5-800 but honestly I'd be ok splurging a bit more considering what I've spent on rods over the years.
Does the first number affect the zoom or quality? As in is a 300-400 the same as a 150-400? Is there a sweet spot of quality-price I need to find where the price grows exponentially that I can navigate into? Are there features she'll be missing out on that are vital to a good shot?
From what I understand a lens can easily climb into the thousands alone but for the camera itself is this one of those things where X is really good at Y but bad at Z scenarios? Should I just pickup a canon rebel on marketplace and see where it takes her?
Any and all other information is appreciated!
I can't find a tutorial to connect the two.
Planning to visit tokyo in June and was hoping to get some suggestions to buy used sigma lens (23mm F1.4 to be specific) from there. I heard used lens is quite affordable there? If anyone bought from there, any shop recommendations?
Is this a legit way to buy a lens? The one I want is out of stock from Canon and all photo stores. They say they cannot guarantee when they will be able to restock and I wanted the lens for early June... Canon EF 70-200mm IS USM II or III... the only way to get it ASAP is open box or refurbished... what would you trust more: Open box or refurbished?
Hey all! So I was rather into photography for about a decade, shooting primarily on a Nikon D60 and Nikon D5200. However I've been out of the loop for a few years now, I was wondering if anyone may have some camera recommendations for what's good now and comparatively similar?
Sorry I have no other place to ask for help. I have a Gitzo Legende Tripod. 1 of the smallest section of the leg fell when I was on my bike. Where can I get a replacement part for it? Tried contacting local distributor and still no response for almost 3 weeks now.
Thank you
So i have Henry's and a Vistek about 20 minutes walk from my place. Or Gosselin Photo thats about a 2 hours drive, or all 3 of them i can order online. But in all 3 cases, inventory is Terrible. Unless you are buyin Nikon, Sony or Canon. Every thing else seems to be either Special order or backorder. Even on those 3 brands not everything is available on every site.
I used to do lots of landscape photography (still have my 6D and 24-50 f2.8ii) but been wanting to invest in either street photography or bird photography and it seems inventory are bad. Ive been out of the hobby for a few years now. Was it always like this and im just noticing?
So I am a complete beginner photographer (I am still yet to order a camera).
I'm looking to first practice by taking product shots and portraits in my flat, but I have very limited space.
Is there some sort of lighting that I can get that is really compact, and preferably pretty cheap? I definitely don't need anything particularly high-end just yet.
I’m trying to decide on my first camera and would love some advice from people with more experience.
I’ve never owned a camera before, so I’m looking for something beginner-friendly for both photos and video. My main use would be travel, day trips, and occasionally recording myself playing drums.
Right now I’m considering these options:
- Canon EOS R50
- Sony A6400 with the standard kit lens
- Sony A7 III with a 28-70mm lens
From a beginner point of view, which one would make the most sense?
I’m especially wondering whether the A7 III is really worth the extra cost for a first camera, or if APS-C options like the R50 or A6400 would be the smarter choice.
I’d really appreciate opinions on ease of use, value for money, lens options, and whether full frame is actually worth it for someone just starting out.
hi!! i currently shoot concerts and cosplay with a sony a6500 and am looking to upgrade. i originally wanted the a7r5 but when i went to the store, the worker recommended i check out the a7r4 or the a75 for low light photography. my boss also recommended i check out the a1 mark 1. my budget is around 3.5k which i believe could get me any of these used.
which of these would be best for low light? the a7r4. a75, or the a1?
there’s only three features the a6500 doesn’t have (and i want!!) that i believe all of these do. i have no button to change my focus point (i have to tap the screen or use the aperture dial which is a pain), i have no second dial for changing my aperture like on the newer models, and i want a screen that can flip out horizontally and vertically. besides those three things i dont really have a preference. i just want something that will work well for that i need.
Anyone knows about a tripod with the following requirements:
- no more than 30cm when folded.
- steady enough for a mirrorless camera like a Fuji xt5
- can reach at least 110cm fully extended.
- ideally in carbon and design similar to the peak design travel tripod ( I mean not thicker).
I am looking for something to carry attached to a sling bag like belroy venture 10 lts. Main use will be self family portrait and occasionally night photography when travelling.
I have others tripods for more serious work.
I am only interested in tripods as described. Please contribute only if you know about a tripod as described. Many thanks.
I am looking for a conversion plate for my Manfrotto joystick 322RC2 so that I can start using Arca swiss. I tried a SmallRig plate as well as a Leftfoto adaptor But both of these use a single central screw. The joystick has a pair of screws. Any idea what plate I might be able to use on this? I really like the ergonomics of the head, so hoping to salvage it for arca use. Ideas?
I'm looking for recommendations for a camera to take along on my adventure travels, like Patagonia, Antarctica, ... Something I can put in my backpack that's not too heavy or bulky.
I want to take both stills and videos, mostly outdoors, of people, wildlife, and landscapes. Maybe with a 35-500 zoom? I would like to spend less than $10k, but may go higher if it makes sense.
I'm very partial to Canon, and bought one of the very first EOS-1D in the US 25 years ago. I used to be on top of digital photography, but now I'm completely lost.
I LOVE the AI Enhance process of my Google Pixel phone camera, but it's very slow. I would like a similar process on my fast desktop.
If anyone has the ORCA OR-550 Laptop Briefcase and theyre looking to get rid of it I'm hunting for it!
Repost!!
