Not lens, but focal length: 35mm. If lens, I’d go for a 24-70 equivalent.

Dude, my opinion counts enough for you to have felt compelled to reply. 🤣

You just spent more effort typing out your response than it would’ve taken that guy to write the name of a lens. Writing a lens name isn’t teaching. I actually teach photography for a living. Explaining a concept is teaching. Stating something from the metadata isn’t teaching. Paywalling the metadata is hustle bro greed.

How did you ever find time in your busy and incredibly productive day to grace us with this soulless response? Are you going to be invoicing us for the effort?

This is the mindset of modern greed, where every exchange must be transactional, and if it’s not, you’re not hustling hard enough. Wring as many people for as much money as possible.

Fuck that attitude and those people.

To answer your title question: yes, a bit.

That’s the type of message you write to get the feelings out of your system and then promptly delete before sending. You were dealing with cheap people who honestly don’t care what your expenses and time cost.

P.S. Given your mention of dollars, I’ll assume you live where your “clients” permission isn’t required to use images in a portfolio. One of my websites is littered with photos of people who never permitted me. So do it anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re not a horrible person so don’t feel bad. Your friend is just priggish.

The difference is a factor of two.
