I was interacting in a discussion on the threads all and asks the question of what lenses they decided to shoot a certain photo with, they responded that they only divulge that information for a specific tier of this Patreon. Is it just more or is they really weird and gatekeepy? Hell, if anyone asked me what glass I was shooting on I’d happily let them know the lenses and anything else they wanted to know, just seems hella weird to me.

    Really weird imo. Knowing what lens someone used doesn’t at all mean you can take photos like them.

    Its a lens, ill tell you absolutely everything about all my gear, just because you buy it doesn’t mean you’ll take photos like me.

      While that’s true, otoh there are so many lenses out there that esp new photographers feel overwhelmed by choices & don’t know which direction to go, so having a starting point is a good thing, even if they will use it differently.
