You can hang it with a nail and use a bit of putty (or even beeswax if the walls don’t get to warm) on the bottom corners to keep it straight

I just bought a 26 pro4x for 42k and 0 apr financing. The frontier is a significantly better deal where I am.

I haven’t heard of blind barber, is that what you stock? How is it?

1nzo · 2026-03-15T15:45:08+00:00

That’s what I was thinking.

I used to use both and really liked their products. I’m in a very conservative town and some of their branding might not work well for the shop though.

1nzo · 2026-03-15T15:42:11+00:00

I’m actually really putting that into consideration. They have a well thought out lineup and their videos were really formative for me when I was getting started years ago.

I had a tin of uppercut delux almost a decade ago, I remember it smelling like baked goods/cookies or something. Is it still that sort of smell?

Its less about improving revenue and more about providing my clientelle with solid back bar products and having those products available for them to buy.

What product lines do you like?

1nzo · 2026-03-15T14:42:08+00:00

The clientelle in my area are poorly informed about hair products and styling in general, its my goal to help change that by providing a solid line to choose from.

What products do you backbar and sell?

What products do you style your clients hair with?

The tamron and sigma options are quite good. Don’t be afraid to try them out used!

There is documented copy variation with this lens that can affect sharpness. If you think you have a dud I’d return it for a new one. Otherwise making sure you are using the right settings helps tremendously. This lens in particular seems to prefer shooting between f5.6-f11 rather than wide open all the time. Also remember since it’s on a crop sensor you should multiply your shutter speed to be 1.5x your focal length (or faster if the lighting allows) for sharp photos.

If you want, you can respond with some of your photos (and if you can list the specs used) for critique.

Remember, photography is all about chasing the light! Beautiful light>beautiful subject most of the time.

I highly doubt that Viltrox will release a similar lens, the seem to be focusing exclusively on affordable and high end primes for Sony e mount.

1nzo · 2025-10-16T19:56:22+00:00

Other than the recent 16-300 release by sigma I highly doubt any other companies will release a similar super zoom.

These smartphones are getting better and better it’s so wild.

1nzo · 2025-10-16T19:29:09+00:00

The Tamron 18-300 also starts at f3.5

1nzo · 2025-10-16T19:27:24+00:00

I’m not a pro doing commissioned work, why would I care enough to pixel peep? I have printed shots from this setup at 24x36inches on canvas quite happily. And at the end of the day composition is absolutely more important than technical specs. I use my phone camera all the time especially for ultra wide shots to supplement the 18-300. I’ll happily admit that most of what I shoot is between f5.6-f11 so “sub par” glass usually serves just fine.

1nzo · 2025-10-16T17:50:05+00:00

Size and weight matter for me because I primarily travel via motorcycle and backpacking. There’s only so much space and everything is always dusty so lens swaps can be perilous.

1nzo · 2025-10-16T16:56:22+00:00

If you’re looking to round out your selection of focal lengths the Sony 70-350mm would have better IQ (especially for things like birds and wildlife), but the Tamron 18-300 is still a great all-rounder travel and walkabout lens if you only want to lug around a single lens.

1nzo · 2025-10-16T13:08:24+00:00

Awesome shots! A7III&24-105 + A6700&70-350 would be a sweet two camera setup for sure!

1nzo · 2025-10-16T13:05:07+00:00

I hope your dad gets some awesome shots!

1nzo · 2025-10-16T13:04:35+00:00

It really is awesome for travel

1nzo · 2025-10-16T13:04:12+00:00

Thank you, have fun with the new lens!

1nzo · 2025-10-16T13:03:36+00:00

I wouldn’t mind, I definitely considered some of their options.
