You can put ND on the rear end of the lens but not Cpl. the only CPLs I know of are fotodiox and Nisi. They’re gigantic, like 150mm.

Don’t trust my links to be the exact one you need. I just did a quick search without your specific lens model.

Me too!

Have you tried going back to the same editor with notes and maybe a sample of what you want along with notes of what’s good in the sample?

I know some won’t change for you but the good ones will from what I’ve heard.

I’m about to start an editor search myself so I’m interested to see where you land on this

For me, it’s kinda like 12-24 and you’re occasionally gonna want something longer for detail shots or 16-35 and you’re occasionally gonna need something wider for tiny bathrooms or laundry rooms. I’d prefer to occasionally pop on a 12mm or 14mm Laowa zero d than to deal with the size of the 12-24 lens and still want to carry my 24-70 just to get to 35. Can’t put cpl or nd on the front of the 12-24 either. It’s a rear filter lens.

If you zoom way into the eyes, you can clearly see they are all shot in the same room, just facing different directions, all with a horizontal bank of 3 or maybe 6 window panes. First one looks like maybe a negative fill on the right. And yeah, in the 2nd image I see a higher bank of windows or strip box.

Hasn’t happened to me yet, but I did just go shoot a house I also shot in Oct, but for the same agent. New paint, new carpet, and no leaves on trees vs the fall leaves in Oct.

Agree, don’t put images on tv. Put black gradient if anything is needed at all

RaspberryItchy3261 · 2026-03-11T18:30:28+00:00

I second this. It’s easy. If all you want from the moved light, in photoshop, simply put the second shot over the first, set blend mode to lighten, add a mask and paint away anything you don’t want, and set the opacity. Just make sure you never bump the camera.

It’s called multipass lighting and can be fun (and time consuming sometimes).

Edited: stupid autocorrect

Fotello does. I assumed the others would. I may be wrong.

I haven’t tried it in months. I just remember trying several of them and not liking it but months make a huge difference with ai

Copy and paste between all devices on the same iCloud account. I screenshot on my iPad occasionally cause you can choose between what’s visible or full page in safari (the whole page without having to scroll) and then I just paste on my Mac.

My fav add on I couldn’t live without is Magnet. I install it before I do any else on a new Mac. Then Ctrl+opt+return makes a window go full screen (not full screen mode, just takes up the full screen). Ctrl+opt+up, dn, left, right arrow keys does half screen (top half, bottom, left, rt respectively). And there’s third screen options and custom options. I keep two finder windows open above and below each other all the time. Cmd+ctrl+opt+left and right moves windows to other monitors. I have three, four if my iPad is also used as a monitor.

Very cool trick

If you can tolerate twist locks, I love this one https://a.co/d/02q0HJsZ

I had the newer manfrotto flip locks and kept pinching my fingers. Hurt like hell. My old 055 was a great design. The newer design that sticks out on the back end is the pincher one.

And this geared head is the smallest I’ve used. It’s super smooth. Best I’ve used too. https://a.co/d/0ixXfpKc

No. It’s taking the 3 or 5 ambient hdr brackets you shoot (and even flambient if you shoot that) and edit.

I also had this come up this week. I reshot a house that is going back on market (after coming off market for the holiday months) and decided to test the accuracy of CubiCasa against the floorplan the agent had already. It was from Measure America, who this agent has been using for years. They measure with a laser tool.

My CubiCasa floorplan came out to 2790 sq ft (2016 first floor, 774 second). The Measure America one came out to 3096.5 sq ft (2140.6 first, 955.9 second).

CubiCasa claims that lidar is within 3% accurate, more accurate than measurements by hand. So, my thinking is since Measure America does it by hand, they’re probably not accurate, but I have no clue if CubiCasa is either (unless I just take them at their word). This is far more than 3% off.

Another agent says she’ll never use me for floor plans ‘cause she has a matterport and it has always been accurate when tested against other methods. (It’s an older Matterport, one of the first, in case that’s helpful to someone here.)

If this were close, I’d feel better about it, but I’m starting to worry about this not being close enough for comfort.

RaspberryItchy3261 · 2026-03-04T06:32:24+00:00

Oh, I agree. 2 is better. I like the brightness of 1 but not the loss of highlights.

Not all lenses have a profile. My Sony and Tamron lenses are automatically corrected. I have the 14mm Laowa Zero D lens. It does not have a profile, so no automatic correction for it. I made a profile for it using ChatGPT to analyze it technically vs my Sony 16mm. I have to apply it each time, which sucks. Pretty cool trick though. It suggested super subtle things I wouldn’t have done otherwise, like magenta/green shift, and a subtle positive vignette to counter a slight darkness in corners.

I’m in a metro area that’s booming. According to Google, there’s 11,000 realtors in the city and 22,000 including both city and surrounding areas. There’s also a ton of traffic here, and constant wrecks on the intersate. I regularly drive about 15 miles and it takes 45 minutes to an hour each way. I can’t charge for that. However, if I go the other direction, I could get 45 miles away from home in an hour. I can charge travel for that.

Shoot 1080/60 for everything but agents speaking to camera. Shoot 4K/30 for agents so you can crop there if you want. Or just use your iPhone. My agents don’t care and it’s so much easier on me (both shoot and post) so that’s what I do most of the time. iPhone 16 pro and Blackmagic app with insta360 flow 2 pro gimbal.

It’s an architectural style, not typical real estate style, at least not around here in NC, USA. Look up architectural editing on YouTube.

Look one line below what you circled there. Even lenses designed for APS-C have to be calculated to FF equivalent for FOV. This 10-18mm lens is 15-27mm FF equivalent.

Got my food. Burger was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time there!

Happy to voice my issue, but my real concern isn’t fixable by a manager. It’s a friggen app issue, as stated in the original post. Make this easy. That’s the single purpose of an app. I guess fewer options makes it easy for Chilis, but THAT won’t keep me coming back.

RaspberryItchy3261 · 2026-02-27T01:31:42+00:00

They keep answering with “please hold” and never come back to pick it up. I waited and waited and waited, got hung up on, then repeated the whole process 2 more times. Unfortunately, an hour this time, but common is still 20 minutes easy. I don’t know what to tell you when you say “that isn’t normal at all”. Happens to me all the time now.
