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.
I have to admit that if I’m buying something more expensive and the seller’s profile isn’t perfect, I’ll find a way to ask a question to see how responsive they are and whether they are pleasant.
If they don’t answer or are rude, I’ll run away from the deal.
