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.
When reading the title I thought this was to do with the rise in scams and fake bots dm’ing you to try and illicit PPI, because that’s become much more of a ballache than it used to be, to the point I don’t really try and sell anything anymore.
Like, I’d upgrade my 4k lazer projector to an ultra-short throw with higher lumens and ended up giving it to a friend, it was an $1800 (aud) unit, could’ve got a grand for it, but seemed like too much hassle, was easier life to just pass it to my mate.
