I’ve noticed recently that selling my lenses have been quite difficult. I keep getting young kids asking all sorts of questions that could be answered if they googled the model number. “Is it autofocus?” “Is this for full frame?” “Will this work on my camera?” “Is it good for real estate?”

It’s like a whole younger generation of photographers don’t know how to research things and get their information from youtube and tiktok where you can’t search model names or technical specs.

    The acronym — and rebuttal — “RTFM” has been used online since probably the late 80s. Look it up… nothing new under the sun.

    I haven’t had any questions about the stuff I’m selling, perhaps your choice of platform or keywords etc are contributing.
