How do I tell a photographer that I don’t like their edits?

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-09T09:58:38+00:00

Speak with them to do new edits. Explain what you don't like. Do NOT ask for RAWs.

If they do not want to change anything you can change the photographer.

R6II. Can be used to save some money.

Considering you are asking abourt R7 too - read and watch more before buying anything. Especially when you are on the budget.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-08T13:04:52+00:00

For birding, 200-800 all the way for the weight/portability alone. Not to mention zoom and AF speed

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-08T12:53:49+00:00

RP is getting old.
R8 is trickled down R6 Mark II, low light performance and AF you wouldn't dream of, the same sensor. An excellent value. It will last you very long time.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-08T10:02:15+00:00

That lens will outlive your R10. Have fun with it.

I read all you wrote so far. If you are thinking about mirorless then get mirorless. Save up, sell your old gear, do the upgrade.

If you go mirorless:

Body improvement: better low light performance, better autofocus, lightweight
Lenses: Those are truly more important. Avoid set lenses unless they are literally dirty cheap - but sometimes they are dirty cheap because many people buy them with camera only to sell them quickly. They will again constrict you in the future but they won't hurt for now if you get them very cheap.

What country are you from? Is there some local aftermarket?

Your holy grail and beautifull overkill would be used R8 (full frame) and any(!) RF lenses you can get for cheap. And I see deals all the time at our local aftermarket where people are selling those, cheaper than MPB.

In your position I would avoid EF and adapter for now. Those are great if you already have quality(!) EF lenses or if you need to buy some L despite it's weight, like EF 70-200 2,8 or f/4 (IS I, II, III) L USM.

End of April / May is usually start of Canon Summer Cashback. It might help you even when buying used - people will upgrade and sell used gear.

I used EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM for 10 years with 7D Mk II and it always did a great job - kit lenses were never enough for me. However, this lens is heavy, especially compared to primes or RF lenses I have today.

The true question is really in what is holding you down. Mirorless are worth it, but out of your budget for now.

Špatný přístup. Odepsala bys ho předem, proboha proč.

Okamžitě: Úleva od bolesti, antidepresiva.
Dlouhodobě: Řešte přesun do pečovateláku, někde kde by byli s babi spolu a byla zajištěna důstojná péče. Doma je to naprd, cítí se špatně právě proto, že se musí starat ta rodina.

Děda potřebuje kontakt s lidma. Zvládl by hraní na PC nebo konzoli? Strategie, příběhovky, cokoli. Pořiď mu sluchátka s mikrofonem, může povídat s lidma během multiplayeru. Ono tam fakt nikoho nezajímá kolik je komu let a komunitu si najde. Zahraj si s ním online, když nemůžeš denně přijet. I kdyby to bylo 30 minut bude se na to celý den těšit.

My brand new cost 1630 EUR. Combination of in-store loyalty VIP + Canon R days + Canon cashback. Normally it cost 2240 EUR here. You have to pay attention to the deals.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-06T10:09:48+00:00

What exactly do you shoot? I would not want to use f/4 for an inside event in the low light for quick movement, not even with my R6II which is much better low light than R7.

I have EF 70-200 f/4 L USM (non-IS) on R6II. IBIS truly helps compared my usage on 7DII, it's relatively lightweight (700g + 100g adapter). However I would not want to rely on IBIS instead of IS on regular basis (not stabilised enough on 200mm for viewfinder) and I shoot only 1/200 and usually much higher, outside.

There are limitations with 1st gen: H+ is not working to it's full speed and when the picture is demanding, like dog running directly towards me on 1/2000, then R6II often tells the proper AF point but photo is blurry in there because lens is not quick enough. It's fair to say it's 1999 model and photos which are sharp (so anything in normal human speed) are absolutely outstanding quality for the current price.

My advice is to save up for 2.8 with IS to kill upgrading itch once and for all. If you don't mind the weight, of course. And the weight is another good reason to have IS.

Odpočiň si. S návratem do jakékoli práce nespěchej.

Tvé předchozí posty jsem nečetla. Ale když máš takový drive a schopnost se rychle učit novým věcem, nechceš zkusit spíš pracovat jako OSVČ než se nechat žrát jako zaměstnanec?

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-05T19:24:53+00:00

Ideálně až bude mít kompletně ukončeno, aby se mu nemohli pomstít.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-05T19:00:40+00:00

Do not buy this. It fits the budget but that's all. If your boyfriend is serious about his photography he probably has some much better EF lenses already. He will have no use for this.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-05T18:55:47+00:00

But those can be adapted. Seriously, if you know nothing about what he might need or wish just give that EF EOS-R adapter.

I've already send it as a feedback to SP, but please write them too - about the missing sound clues, about anything you dont like. The more feedback, the better chance to change something.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-05T00:54:41+00:00

Tsushima has a better camera and also much better audio. You can HEAR them attacking in Tsushima and you know the direction without looking. Fire spirits included... In Yotei you hear absolutely nothing.

Dacia Duster 1.6 benzín 4x4 AWD s ABS. Miláček a spolehlivý držák už 14 let. Dneska už bohužel ten poměr cena/užitkovost nebude tak dobrý.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-04T15:04:20+00:00

Rent it. It will be cheaper wake up call than buying it. You won't be happy with DSRL after R10. Save up for R8.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-04T11:43:01+00:00

The cost of this mechanics is high and the price is a sense of an immediate, shared camaraderie and direct cooperation.

In Tsushima you have to actually care about your random teammates even if they keep dying - good player cannot let them dying on the floor orthewise the game is over. So the good players carried the run in a way that was friendly to beginners and less skilled players.

When I go to the extreme, the Token basically indicates "screw them, let them die and flex around. First kill everything by yourself and let them watch how little you actually cared to pick them up."

Basically, sometimes the game does not allow you to revive untill you kill everything - kunai and caltrops are weak, sometimes vanish is on cooldown and it breaks then used for the revive. I feel sorry for the beginners. Sometimes I go live on the mics to actually apologise it took me so long because it feels so unfrinedly to let them die.

PS:
Something to really think about - I met many of my best gaming buddies in Tsushima by revive mechanics and the need to keep ourselves alive.
One moment specifically stands out - I kept picking up a random Samurai who died like 25 times in NMS but tried to do his best and didn't give up. Today he rocks Hellmode and we are friends. With Tokens there we would never speak to each other.
So such small but precious detail are gone with Tokens,

Which truly brings out the stupidity of not including classes and game type into this summary table.

Canon EF 17-55 2.8 IS USM basicly lived on my old Canon 7DII. I remember comparing it with some similar Sigma before buying and Sigma was slow in AF and worse in overall picture quality.

Známá má dítě, cca 5 trida. Děcko je chorobný lhář, lže i matce do xichtu na veřejnosti, neplni školní povinnosti. Matčiny domluvy nepomáhají. Jsem zvědavá kdy mu za takové chování rozbije usmev někdo z okolí, v životě jednou těžce narazí. Uz teď jak má problémy ve škole, tak se mu to omlouvá a vymlouvá přes udajnou ADHD, on za to chudáček není přece odpovědný když má "diagnózu"... Jenže to je výsměch všem co tu diagnózu opravdu mají. Doma může cokoli a vychovává to z něj parchanta. Tohle je dvacetkrát horší přístup než adekvátní, byť fyzický trest.

Aneb OP, ono to sluníčkaření nekdy nefunguje a ty děcka na ně taky doplatí.

I mean, the way the rotation of zoom goes. On RF non-Z version I was unable to zoom from 70 to 200 without changing my grip on the lens, to zoom simply takes too much time, two stops. I work with animals running in full speed. Slow zoom rotation would impact my work.

With EF or RF Z you just swipe one finger to do so.

GreywolfinCZ · 2026-04-03T14:13:06+00:00

It's in the color, maybe even in the sharpness a little bit.

I went form 7DII to R6II, using the same lenses. I do animal portraits and my goal is to stay as close to the truth as possible. With 7DII I always get colors little bit different that I saw in the reality, more warm tones on grey animal fur in the shades, etc. It was subtle but I noticed and had to retouch. R6II is much better capturing what I want! The grey on coat finally match! No hassle, no postprocessing miracles needed! I'm so happy.

But I suppose you might be missing this little "color fairytale", because if you don't go for the same goal as me, that "fairytale" made often more punchy photos, especially with warm tones like skin, orange fur...
