This is easily one of my top three favorite things done by DPreview in the 23 years I've been coming here. Hoorah!

This is wild!

Most people don't have the discipline to notice the difference between three copies. If a lens is truly off you don't need another to compare it with.

IMO the very first thing you should figure out is whether or not you can live with an electronic viewfinder. If you can, what is your threshold for resolution? There are MANY cameras that take ...

While I don't have this combo I would bet a wooden nickel that it works fine. The bigger issue is will it work in the future? It only takes one body firmware update from Canon to brick it and ...

I'll take "Things I'd rather have for $200, Alex"

70-200mm 2.8 for $1,899

120-300mm 2.8 w/built in 2x converter for $4,500

You likely will want both. If your current phone works I would replace the camera first. If your budget permits I'd step up to a Panasonic FZ1000 II or FZ2500. Your English is better than some ...

If you're using this professionally you must have a business? If so talk to your business insurance agent. If you don't have that then I'd recommend you get that as well. Photographers has been ...

I second (or third) a macro lens. You don't have to spend a fortune either as there are plenty good ones on the used market. Post the camera you shoot and we can recommend one. Also, buy a remote ...

This kind of venture is purely a labor of love. Nobody does this to get rich. As a teenager I developed b&w by hand and when I joined the military as a PJ was one of the last to go through DINFOS...

None. What I recommend is you go to the science department of your college and see if their astronomy department has high powered telescopes. Often times there are "clubs" on campus of enthusiasts ...

120-300mm 2.8 FE mount please!

Would love to see them produce a redesigned (not adapted) version of their 16-28mm 2.8 for Sony FE to undercut current offerings

When I was in the USAF photography school we all prayed to avoid this assignment. Yes, it was a unique and critical mission but you're stuck inside a lab developing film all day. Meanwhile my...

Rent a video camera. The D850 will stop recording at 29m, 59s regardless of how big of a memory card you use and power source. If it's your only camera you're going to have a gap in the video.

I've been on DPreview for over 20 years and I can count on one hand the number of your videos that I've watched. I gave these a go because 1) it's Richard and 2) they're 60 seconds. Well done and...

You'll likely get better/more responses in the lighting forum https://www.dpreview.com/forums/1025

What does the Sony have that your Canon didn't? In body image stabilization! That is what you are hearing. Totally normal.

Professional vs amateur usually centers around whether money changed hands or similarly how much the gear cost with an expectation that higher the dollar amount (in both cases) the higher the ...

I think you're asking the wrong question. What good is AF speed if a modern lens offers significantly better image quality? With exception most lenses aren't worth adapting imo. If your budget is ...
