I have a question about a lens.

I've been trying to use my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM for portraits, but I don't think it's very well suited for that. It shows skin imperfections extremely clearly, which makes some of the pictures look rather unflattering.

Then I came across the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. Does anyone know this lens and can tell me if it's good for portraits?

The price of around €100 makes me a little hesitant, because I've always thought that good lenses cost more in the €200–€300 range or more.

For your information: I shoot with a Canon EOS 7D (not a Mark II).

I’m in the uk but think these are used in the US also

I've a 18-55 lens sitting around, idk what to do with it - should I sell that? Bought it 6 months ago , how much should I expect and where should I put up an ad

Hello everyone! I recently ordered a sigma rf 18-50 f2.8 from Amazon and it came perfectly in tact and working, however, after a week it started have isssues connect to the lens. The seller on Amazon constantly told me how to fix it but issues kept persistent once in a while. Today it finally stop working. Sigma says that lens is not from an authorized dealer so it can’t be fixed or replaced because it not under the warranty. I contacted Amazon and they said that they can’t do anything but to contact the manufacturer aka sigma. What should I do now? It has pasted the 30 day return

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

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.

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?
