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.
