Essential The Official Photography Thread

yeah, lol...I guess stuff like that what separates the affordable lenses from them $1000+ lenses. Usually I'm be frowning because they be footballs and not circles. lol

Them pixel peeper types of "critics" come up with all kinds of shyt. I got into it with these dudes on the pentax forums one time. I posted something and dudes said something about the black levels being a little faded. Didn't say any compliments or nothing. And this was like a real nitpicky thing and clearly like an editing/artistic choice. So I asked them to post their portraits so that I can at least know that they know what they're talking about. All of a sudden they got quiet. This is a picture by one of the dudes trying to critique me. (I hope it shows up).

i see wrinkles in his back drop, dude can kick rocks if he nitpickin. but a lot of older photographers hate the not so black blacks.

This.

Although a better camera and lens can give you a better low light shot

It doesn't matter what you shoot with, what kind of lens, etc. You can get a good shot if you know what you're doing.

i copped 2 of the 35mm. the first one was fukking garbage, the 2nd one is solid as fukk. this will hold me over till i get the tamron 35mm in a few months.

i heard the 100mm is the same way, you might get a good one, you might get a trash one. buy from amazon so you can swap out easy if you can

Some yes some no

 

[MikelArteta]

My flash and triggers are yongnuo
The 50mm cost me 50 and is just as sharp as the canon

The 35mm I have is crazy soft
