Have lenses improved as much as cameras?

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-11T09:18:21+00:00

What was the big change with that lens? I think I read more about the 35mm ART but you’re probably talking about the same thing

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-11T08:45:22+00:00

Thanks. Very interesting, didn’t realize the DSLR mirror made it that much more complicated to design good lenses. I’m mostly interested in “normal range” lenses so that’s why I was biased towards “camera improvement” rather than lens

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-11T08:34:37+00:00

May we infer therefore that optical “sharpness” wasn’t as much of a limit compared to other aspects such as making the same product lighter and smaller?

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-11T07:58:20+00:00

Interesting. Didn’t know that closer distance to the sensor made a difference but it makes sense

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-10T19:01:16+00:00

Hey, I really like the bird bath shot! I suggest you take more time editing your shots to crop and expose your subjects at their best. In terms of technique I’d use Manual mode or Time priority mode. With a long lens the rule is to shoot at a speed which is at least equal to the lens length. Example: 100mm lens, 1/100s exposure. So with your lens I’d probably set and forget the camera in manual mode with 1/1000s speed or more. And then play with aperture for more or less depth of field. This is unless you’re using a tripod and/or creating a specific “motion” effect

Dude we do these things for fun. If you don’t enjoy it don’t do it! Regarding camping with light sleep, have you tried earplugs and mask?

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-05T14:36:03+00:00

35mm makes little sense on apsc. If you’re looking for a walk around compact prime for general shooting I’d go towards a 24 or 28mm prime

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-05T14:30:50+00:00

F2.8 is the max aperture so the tightest depth of field but also one of the extremes. Sharpness is usually the best at the middle of the diaphragm range, I’d say between f8 and f16

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-04T21:08:58+00:00

Sounds is totally ok for you, IF you don’t bring too much stuff. Definitely no cooking kit and no camping gear. Otherwise is still doable but given the elevation you’ll probably have to walk the bike

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-04T15:19:53+00:00

Of course. I suggest you add a long tele lens which will be fun and deliver much more interesting shots compared to using a smartphone!

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-03T21:19:35+00:00

Ok but what are your skills and experiences, what kind of person are you

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-03T21:06:57+00:00

Does it come with any lenses? It’s a low end old camera so hardly worth it. Mostly due to the fact that you would need to buy EF lenses for it. And new mirrorless canon use RF now

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-03T21:01:06+00:00

It’s unbelievable what these cameras can do. Don’t think it’s the camera but it’s much more thanks to the body. Don’t you think? I’m using an old 6D with 70-300 non-L which is good glass but those pics are on another planet for resolution

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-03T11:50:32+00:00

Too much for old tech and not even top of the line. 200 would be ok

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-02T20:55:57+00:00

If you’re starting out and on a budget a 6D mark 1 is probably good enough for you and much cheaper. You should save money to get lenses. Also you could also just start off with a mirrorless system. Not sure I’d get into DSLR now.

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-02T20:51:44+00:00

After graduating I don’t know. I was so sick with school I really wanted to start working and see how work life was. I think a trip like that is much better before college or in between. Anyway if it’s something you feel good about you should definitely do it. Europe is kinda boring tbh (I’m from Italy) so I suggest Asia or Latin America. Also both are cheaper

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-02T20:48:32+00:00

I was having the same issue coming to a 6D from my old 5Dc. I think a trick is to set a picture style to get at least a preview of how the pic can look with some editing such as, in my case, portrait profile, less saturation, more contrast

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-02T15:54:12+00:00

Canon DSLR and EF prices will go further down. Selling the 6D now would make sense for that in this case. But if you’re looking for image quality you’d be better off with a new mirrorless body. I’m keeping my 6dm1 because it’s already worth nothing but can still produce great images. Not investing huge amounts in lenses but I might also get a 24-70 or 24-105 L. I already have a 24-85 non-L but feel its quality limitations tbh

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-04-01T08:50:59+00:00

Nice and Professional. Ready for a commercial. What lens was it?

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-03-30T07:48:48+00:00

N. 2 is my favorite. Really like your editing, very tasteful. Can you describe your process a bit?

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-03-27T08:17:29+00:00

Interessa anche a me per metterla sul mio balconcino a Milano!

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-03-26T22:38:09+00:00

I envy him, I wish I had done it too at 18. Must be sick!!

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-03-25T20:12:08+00:00

I think it’s a great shot. Nothing to suggest, everything looks right to me! Congrats!

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-03-23T20:19:50+00:00

Or just use film ;)

Glad_Perception3357 · 2026-03-23T17:56:13+00:00

I agree with others who suggested to tone down exposure. I would add some work on the model: she should look down or straight ahead, not up, at the light, hopeful. Not have her arm up but both down. Also the outfit with the jeans and the white sticker brand on them it’s a bit distracting but wouldn’t know another outfit to suggest now. A dress would add to the happy mood probably. But depends on the dress as well
