Congrats on a great camera. I have SL2, it’s a gorgeous piece of engineering and incredibly well made. However it is not a best platform for cheap lenses. In general, apart of a few Angenieux and I ...

I don’t have much experience with Nikon in general. My only Nikon is FM3A and I sold most of my Nikkors including Noct Nikkor and a few G lenses. I still have 35/2 Ai-s though, but the lens that I ...

First comes the idea. (With my master drawing skills, I am always surprised that no one else understands what I want.) Then I contacted two friends - Kat and Hana. Kat is my favorite model and Hana ...

As per AF camera, I would suggest Contax G1 or preferably G2 if money is not an issue. The budget proposal would be Minolta 800Si or Dynax 5 . The first is a large camera but has a powerful ...

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing

Very nice images, great composition, natural-looking, tack sharp. Very well done.

Thank you. Tube light painting is not as complicated as it might appear. You can find tons of tutorials on YT. The artists who inspired me are photographer Eric Paré and model Kim Henry - ...

Thank you. Yes, I used Godox AD200 with a snoot from the stand, other than that it's available light.

Thanks Derek, if I can help with some lightpainting advice, send me PM.

I feel very sorry for you, sharing a similar experience with a members who can’t resist the need to comment on my sample photos (Why? Don’t like it, move on). Since you already left the forum and ...

You might want to check this source, it is one of the better articles that explain difference between micro contrast and global contrast with the addition of some other aspects that have influence ...

There have been quite a few versions of a Pancolars 50/1.8 and 50/2 and in my experiance (over 50 passed through my storage) the sample variation is significant (if you compare results directly). T ...

I don’t have Vega but both Biometars 120/2.8 (MC and single coated) focuses to infinity on my Sony A7.

It should if the adapters are well made and apparently, if you don’t use macro rings. I use all Pentacon six lenses with Pentacon to M42 and M42 to Sony E (unless I use them on a film camera). It ...

I put the “real” photography in the quotes because it doesn’t make sense to me either but many photographers I am talking about this topic are trying to somehow separate “unretouched” capture from ...

Just asking... Cropping: why cropping is allowed in your opinion, while cloning out destructive elements is not? Example - you are standing in a place where some branches are interfering with the ...

I am glad that you share similar point of view, usually I am in a minority whenever it comes to this topic discussions with my friends. I agree with the intention but I don’t think it’s the post ...

I have a different view on this topic and I don’t have problem with many of the techniques you mentioned. What hat is a difference between replacing the sky in the post processing, vs either long ...

Nice shot with the very cool lens. I assume you have the first version, the second is without radioactive element and nothing special. 1st Prakticar has similar rendering to much more expensive ...
