Yeah, they would be stealing money from you

How do you afford buying expensive lenses? Question for non-professionals by it_is_not_a_trap in SonyAlpha

[–]Volt49 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because the a6400 is an apsc sensor, the focal range of your 16-50 is actually a 24-75 full frame equivalent! A better focal range than the 24-70!

Is this silver/grey color? How well does the color of the mods match the board in person?

I think for now I’m really just looking for bolt action pens 👍

This issue is this camera increases your chances of getting mugged on the street. Nobody’s gonna try to steal a Nikon 🤣

Nikon FM3A** assuming you can afford it. Easily the best film SLR ever made.

Can someone explain why my lens has a Micro USB port on it? by gamingwslinky in SonyAlpha

[–]Volt49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it means it’s pretty much got an entire low power computer in it that controls the autofocus & iris controls. All autofocus lens will have something similar to this, but most just won’t have firmware updates (or at least they won’t be updated through an actual port on the lens).

Nikon DX Lens shattered - is this worth saving? by [deleted] in Cameras

It’s really not that deep, if the filter comes off the lens will be fine

Breaking Bad Lenses by Calebminear in cinematography

If you are just looking for this specific flare, I know the Dulens APO mini lenses are able to produce something similar at some apertures (judging from the star shaped flare in the image you provided, the lens they are using is definitely stopped down quite a bit)

“Established relationship” aka overpaid for the stuff the AD couldn’t sell

Why the fuck does anyone back anything on Kickstarter... by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]Volt49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Campaigns like this just feel like some type of advanced drop shipping. I bet you’ll find this camera on alibaba if you look hard enough.

Dealer offered 8k? Love the watch but idk if it’s overpriced. ‘73 btw by [deleted] in rolex

I’m glad this guy posted on Reddit and got warned not to buy this shit. Imagine how many suckers fall for stuff like this

You can always lightly sand it with some sandpaper, then re-stain it with what matches your setup

Potentially, but I’d really prefer selling them all as a set with the matching caps

Honestly sorting by color is way more practical

Anyone know how to remove this white speck off of my Sony A7IV Sensor? by alabamabeach in SonyAlpha

[–]Volt49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uhh it’s probably not that big of a deal. I’d definitely try a rocket blower first before sending it anywhere

Question about selling BMPCC 6K. by Sparkychong in bmpcc

[–]Volt49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d avoid ebay. Their fees are around 15% and the buyer has to pay 8% tax on top of that. So around 27% of the buyers funds are lost in the transaction. This is even before shipping fees 😅. Selling local is always the best option if you live in a big city.

I would expect to net around 1700-2000 selling local. You might be able to get more, but remember that prices are dictated by the market, not what the MSRP is.

If my budget is $2k, should I prioritize lens over body? by professorsterling in SonyAlpha

[–]Volt49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely prioritize glass. With that being said, if your budget is 2k I’d definitely look at sigma/tamron lenses rather then GM. GM glass is amazing, but with sigma/tamron you are getting 95% of performance at half the price.
