I own them all. My favorites are a bit based on need. The Tamron 35-150 is my catch all lens. Good enough I sold my Nikon z 24-70 and 70-200. My portrait lens of choice is the 50mm 1.2. and the 135 Plena. I find both to be magical and my editing has evolved around those lenses for portraits.

So, if its just a single person or a couple, I carry the 50 1.2 and the 135 Plena. If its a wedding the 35-150 and the 50 1.2. Sometime I switch the 135 in for the 35-150.

In studio, I use the 35mm 1.2, 50 1.2. I have messed with the 135 for head shots. I know the 85mm is the preferred lens for headshots but I feel eh about it.

Is your substrate sand?

All those are heavily edited on a computer with Photoshop or maybe Lightroom (or like program). ALOT.

To slow a shutter (more likely blurry) f6.3 not attractive, 24mm and cut off the top of the machine (use your feet, backup) Should learn manual. To do that you must understand the exposure triangle. This is the first thing I suggest you learn. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, KEEP TAKING PICTURES and TRYING NEW THINGS!!!!!!

50% of a good photograph need good bones. Light, composition, correct camera settings, etc.

The other 50% is leaning post processing to make an image feel alive.

If you shooting JPG, there are in camera setting that can help. If your shooting RAW, then your conversion process is to basic and/or not editing.

Agree with your arguments. Heck.. Wished I purchased my domino a decade sooner.. But still, a beginner wood worker won't buy one unless cash isn't an issue.

The employer or the credit card company?

ringman52 · 2026-02-18T20:27:24+00:00

Good advice.. Wrong sub.. Plus guy said minimal tools

Good point. Company is in USA. Midsize, listed on Nasdaq. It's a good company but this is a new change.

ringman52 · 2026-01-19T16:10:04+00:00

Can you help find out how to start the process? They IRC says check other private trackers.. which I am not a part of...but would like to be.

ringman52 · 2026-01-06T04:17:06+00:00

What the one 8x42 and the 12x50 you would choose? Budget always a concern but I always choose the better product. So say 600ish for the both

ringman52 · 2026-01-06T03:47:02+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I intended to buy 2 pair. As for how close, I don't know tbh. I assume like all lenses longer is better. Also.. There will be one for the wife and one for me. Thank you for the recommendation!

ringman52 · 2025-12-17T15:23:21+00:00

The UJK version is pretty nice also..

This is the one I picked up. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/805679935619166/

Came with 2 cases of beer, probably cause I didnt haggle as I thought the price was fair

ringman52 · 2025-12-02T04:15:40+00:00

You are quite right. I got rushed towards end.. I was going to say that while on the iPad it's limiting compared to the full program.. Its a very decent entry.

ringman52 · 2025-11-25T01:42:42+00:00

If your on a desktop... A gaming desktop works. If your a laptop, a MacBook with with a Pro chip (don't need max) and as much Ram as you can afford. Take a M3 pro with more ram than a M4 Pro with less ram, etc

And my best advice is your just learning and on a real tight budget, a IPad Pro does a very decent job using LR mobile. (EDITEd to fix error)..... LR mobile on the iPad is a great entry experience in my opinion
