I'm going on a trip to the Badlands and imagining sweeping landscape photos.  Unfortunately, I'm afraid of the sky being blown out. How often are graduated ND filter used by landscape photographers? ...

"I do not have under 24mm FX lens because stepping back about 3 feet increase the angular coverage of a 24mm to that of a 17mm lens." Perhaps the most practical thing I've read so far.  Thanks.

Great video. Thanks.

Can you describe more of what you mean by "walk inside a scene"?  Are you talking about being able to capture things closer to the camera as well as things farther away with a "shorter" lens?

First, beautiful picture of the pier. I understand looking for near, middle, and far points of interest (and of course trying to figure out how to get them all in focus absent stacking).  Why is ...

I have the opportunity to travel out west this summer, which means sweeping landscape photos (I hope).  Living in, and seldom leaving, a big city, landscape photography is new to me. It seems to me ...

Effectively the teleconverter increases magnification while keeping minimum working distance constant? Additionally, I can open up the aperture because the teleconverter has the effect of ...

Sorry if you have addressed this before, but are using two 2x teleconverters with the Laowa 100mm lens?  What does one 2x teleconverter do to your working distance, let alone a second ...

I have the 263AT.  One of the leg locks no longer prevents an extended leg from collapsing.  I would not recommend this product.

Wow - that really reduces the working distance to next to nothing when I'm at 2:1.  Simply on a personal note, if I were to use a Raynox, it will make photographing the bugs in my yard very, very ...

If I read the chart correctly, at 2:1, the Raynox reduces working distances by approximately 40mm.  Is that correct?

If a Raynox 250 is put on a 100mm lens with  1:1 and 2:1 capabilities, what is the resulting magnification at each ratio with a FF sensor? (E.g. 1.5:1 or 2.5:1?) If the lens at 1:1 has about 4 ...

I'm guessing it could be three possible things.  First, make sure the trigger unit is on "master." The power button cycles through "master" and "slave." Second - and I don't fully understand how ...

I messed around with it a bit more and I think, a big emphasis on think, got it to work.  First, I had to put the lens to 1:1 and peaking at "high sensitivity." Looking at my computer keyboard and ...

Well this is frustrating.  Focus peaking works with my Nikon 24-70 lens, set to manual.  I just can't seem to get focus peaking to work with the Laowa lens. With the Laowa, the camera is set to ...

I started using the older Tokina lens in 2015, on three different camera bodies,  until this year when I switched to a Laowa 100mm 2:1 macro lens.  I really like the lens.  Basically, I just set ...

hmm?? I can't seem to get mine to work.  What are your settings?

So after your last post, I looked up focus peaking, turned it on, and gave it a try.   Everything was set to manual (as far as I could tell) and focus peaking would not work. If you're able to get ...

I'll be honest, I don't know what peaking is so I can't answer the question.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but . . . I use a Z6 and the Laowa 100mm, moving over from a Tokina 100mm. The lens switch was so I could obtain 2:1, up from 1:1.  I primarily take bug ...
