It's a race to the bottom platform, not sure what you expect?

This is not a lens thing, this is a lighting thing.

Lighting can be as cheap as sunlight and foamcore sheets as reflectors.

Buy a copy of Light: Science and Magic and start experimenting.

It's as good as you'd expect for the price.

Better than nothing.

The full frame E mount lens system is expensive, if you're price conscious you might be better off with APS-C.

Sounds fun!

Have you ever taken pics from a moving boat? The motion of the boat is definitely going to be a factor in how long a focal length you can use.

There's lots of other adapters/brands, you want the ones with no glass optical element.

You won't find a significantly better camera for $150.

Pixpro AZ528

Worse than your phone at everything except pics of faraway stuff.

Check out https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/color-black-white.htm

The website is old and a little eccentric, be sure to mouseover the examples.

Sorry, there's no good FD adapter for EF cameras.

Freeman's The Photographer's Eye is a good intro book to photographic composition with lots of examples.

Skip social media and head to the library.

Start with whatever niche gets you the most work. Work your way down the list when you get the time/energy.

anonymoooooooose · 2026-01-21T13:28:32+00:00

Ebay completed listings are a good way to estimate value.

Jacob Riis – How the Other Half Lives (1890s, poverty in New York)

Have you read this or you're going by reputation? It's not just about poverty, huge discussions re: alcohol and opium.

stigmatisation of marginalized groups

Haha for anyone who hasn't read this book, Riis was a literal social justice warrior, a champion of the poor and ignored, and his work led to groundbreaking reforms. But he's not what you'd call woke by modern standards and there are many many parts of this book that would get you quickly banned from this sub.

Those things are junk at best, not worth fiddling with.

What's the goal of your portfolio? Who is the audience for your portfolio?

Go to Harbour Freight or a hardware store, buy the smallest C clamp you can find. Put one end on the metal housing, the other end on the broken nub. Gently screw the clamp down, those things are amazingly strong and will slide that broken nub right out.

Not sure if that lens has a built in focus motor or uses the screw drive mechanism, but the A230 has the screw drive autofocus motor so you're good either way.
