It’s a ti finish… Pure aesthetics. Actual ti would cost a fortune. It’s pretty. I’d spring. If you didn’t, I’d think you’re smart.

I always quoted per diem, traveling expenses with incidentals markup, plus day fees of not at actual event. It would be like 100+100+150 USD for any day that x’d my calendar.

Nikon 3500 and the 18-55 afp.weighs 10g more than my leica iiif and summitar.

Wtf is going on here? Photography is not rocket science. If one understands basics of exposure triangle and light and has a modicum of creativity, they’re off to the races. Vision is all that’s left.

Why would anyone see a photo and be like “What lens did you use?”

This. On 16x24 it’s a “50” ish lens. On FF cropped to 24x24 it’s the same fov as an 80mm on 56x56 hassy. 35mm is so underrated.

iow, normal is a natural representation of near -far objects. Our peripheral is way wide, but a spherical vs flat focal plane is a game changer. No comparison. On a flat plane, any lens that projects our field of vision in its entirety will inevitably lead to terrible near-far relationships with subjects.

Btw, I’ll never fly delta if you’re ever behind the sticks.

Snapshots.of just whatever, like strolling the streets? 5 or 6 an hour. Shooting weddings? 5 or 6 a minute. Landscapes devoid of glass or concrete? 5 or 6 a day is phenomenal.

Sure. I’m just saying I fine tune the relationships between objects in the frame by foot. Crop with zoom. Of course there will be situations where you don’t want to get too close. There are other situations where you would. Flowers don’t bite,.and maybe I want lots in the background.

Many slrs digital or not have what’s called a viewfinder magnification ratio. So if that is 0.8, a “normal” lens will show a reduced size of the object when compared to the naked eye. A slightly longer than normal lens will match up, but appear to give a slightly more compressed view. Keep in mind that perspective is SOLELY based on your shooting position however… You can shoot a 50 on a full frame, switch to a 100mm, crop the 50 image to match the 100, and you have the exact same perspective.

It why I’m a firm believer in zooming with my feet. Zooms just fine tune cropping in camera to allow more of the sensors pixels.
