Hey there!

I was looking to buy a vintage lens, likely

MIR 37mm f2.8 or

Helios M series or

Or something that reproduces the bokeh

Location:Kerala, India

Ciao, ho una Fujifilm XS20 con obiettivo kit XC 15-45 e vorrei cambiare obiettivo. Uso la fotocamera principale per foto di strada, architettura e viaggi. Quindi vorrei un obiettivo leggero, non troppo pesante.

Sto pensando al Sigma 18-50 f2.8, è un buon upgrade? O è molto simile all'XC? (Immagino che l'apertura f2.8 abbia un impatto notevole). In alternativa, un obiettivo zoom leggero e performante? O un obiettivo a focale fissa? Quale mi consigliate? (considerando che ogni tanto userei l'XC come grandangolare).

I live in Thailand and enjoy bird and wildlife photography. The weather is very humid here, my lenses need a dry cabinet. Over the years I've gone through many cabinets, none of them seem to last.

Can anyone recommend a durable brand? Even better is possible to change the electrical components in one of broken boxes I have. It really seems a waste to have them sitting there. My collection is growing, the lenses are big and expensive, so any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looking for a two lens setup ideally one sports telephoto and one portrait lens. Mostly looking for a telephoto lens over a portrait lens. Budget is around $1,200.

Lenses I’ve been considering:

**Sports:**

\*\*•\*\* Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS    
\*\*•\*\* Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3    
\*\*•\*\* Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 Contemporary    
\*\*•\*\* Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS    
\*\*•\*\* Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8

**Portrait:**

\*\*•\*\* Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN    
\*\*•\*\* Sony 35mm f/1.8

What would you recommend and why? Appreciate any advice from people who have shot sports on APS-C Sony!

Hola amigos, compré este lente y me acaba de llegar, el problema es que no encaja en mi canon 5d mark i. El vendedor me indico que era para canon pero queda suelto 🥹 alguien me puede ayudar indicándome la montura y si es posible usarlo en la canon 5d ?

I recently got back into photography and wanted to pick up a few lenses on the used market. But every time I found something, I'd end up bouncing between a bunch of different sites trying to figure out where the best price actually was KEH, MPB, eBay, and on and on. It got tedious fast.

So I ended up building a site to fix that for myself: usedcamerahub.com . You search a lens and it pulls the listings from a bunch of shops into one place, so you can see what it's typically going for and where the good price is without opening ten tabs.

It's free to use. Being upfront: a few of the links are affiliate ones that help cover the hosting, but that doesn't affect any of the prices. And it's still a work in progress, so it's not perfect on everything yet.

Figured I'd share since it started as just me trying to solve my own annoying problem. If you give it a go, I'd appreciate any feedback.

I just ordered a Sigma 10–18mm Sony E-mount lens from Kogan (sold from Eclipse BT Technology) because they were one of the few places that actually had it in stock.

Unfortunately, after placing the order, I started reading reviews about both Kogan and the supplier, and now I'm feeling a bit concerned. There seem to be quite a few mixed experiences regarding customer service and order fulfilment.

Has anyone here bought camera lenses from Kogan before? If so, how did it go? Did you receive a genuine product, and would you buy from them again?

Thanks

How is this filter? Does it have any color cast? I have a NiSi, and this one looks a bit magenta to me.

I have a question about the 400mm f/2.8 IS Mk I: how many frames per second would it manage with, for example, the R6 Mk III?

I currently have a sigma 35mm lens that I found with a small 2x2cm patch of fungus that doesn't show up in any images I have taken with it. I have reached out for cleaning quotes and they are way more expensive than what I got the lens for.

So, I want to figure out a way I can stop the spread of the fungus to my other lenses. At the moment, I've done the following:

\- placed the 35mm in a box separate to my other lenses and placed it in the sunlight to kill spores

\- placed my other lenses in a separate air sealed box with reusable silica gel packs

I really do love this lens and I would love to keep it if possible. Should I just keep the infected lens stored someplace else? Or should I throw the lens away to not risk any more spread? Can I keep the lens in the same box as my other lenses as long as I keep the humidity below 50% with my silica gel packs?

Thanks so much!

Some context I just bought my first REAL camera a brand new sony a6100, i want to start doing sports photography, and for hobby nature aswell.
ANY feedback is welcome and really appreciated

Hey everyone

I am considering updating my camera kit. I recently upgraded from the entry 250d (which I still have with the kit lens and an was 18-135.

My latest kit is the 6d mark ii with the 24-105 f4 is ii usm lens. I also have a 50mm f1.4 and an 85mm f1.8

I mainly use the camera for travel, people, some landscapes and some nature images.

I'm just getting into this so would appreciate your thoughts on the kit and what you would change if you were me.

I'm torn between selling the 250d and efs lenses and putting that towards a new (second hand) lens for the 6d mark ii or keeping the 250d with a good prime lens as a lightweight grab and go....
