Fun fact - the pic was shot in colour, it isn't b&w.

I just bought a used mirrorless camera - Sony A7C if it matters, and and am wanting some advice on a zoom lens.

I want a lens for use in a dark arena - there are dozens of performers with spotlights, so a lot of dark and light. I want to go between shots of the full arena and zooms onto individual acts or performers. I think that my best choice is between the Sony FE 24-240 f/ 3.5-6.3 and the Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6.

Will there be a significant difference in low light performance between these lenses? I like the wider specs of the Sony lens but am not sure how much of a tradeoff I would be making with the smaller aperture.

Because we all need more spider, and I was taking my Canon RF100mm macro lens for its first spin of the year.

And no, I haven't got into on-the-fly (hah!) aperture correction, or focus stacking, but I quite liked having the plane of the web being the level of best focus.

Recently I started shooting RAW+JPEG because sometimes I don't want to post-proces my images and just straight use them. However, when comparing both I find no difference in colors or other adjustments. The SOOC JPEG with Velvia Film Simulation has the same colors, saturation, etc. as the unedited RAW file. What am I doing wrong?

I’m looking into getting an instant camera. I was drawn to the Fujifilm Instax cameras but it looks like the instant film for it can come out to $2 a photo which is pretty expensive imo.

I want this to take small color photos for journaling/scrapbooking/logging and may need to take a lot of photos at once (i.e. logging results of glazes on a ton of test tiles).

Also I don’t really care if it’s true analog or a digital camera that just prints out, but it does need to be color.

Anyone have any good reccs?

Hello all, I plan to use my Panasonic LUMIX G85 (micro 4/3) with a 3D scanner setup. This will be fairly close photography, with the max object size being in the 24in(61cm) range.

I have a basic telephoto and nifty fifty, but wasn't sure if there was something better suited for my purpose.

If it makes any difference, I was planning on using a vertical line laser in a black box to take the pictures. I'm assuming there's a filter that can help.

I know this question requires rather specialized knowledge, but if anyone has that knowledge, it's Lemmy.
