At least I’m not alone. Although I hate that anyone else has to deal with it. At times it’s been pretty extreme for me. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I’ve been looking at macro lenses for a while. Pretty expensive. So I got these very inexpensive close-up filters to tiptoe into macro photography...

Well, I didn’t expect this. Throughout my life I’ve had a lot of problems with motion sickness. After many, many plane trips in my career it got better and it hasn’t been too bad in recent years. Until today. I got some new close-up lens filters. Slapped the 10x on my 18-55mm zoom and headed...

That’s a pretty good image. We may indeed have atmospheric issues. This area has grown to metro proportions in recent years. Lots of light pollution S well as other kinds.

Thanks for the tips.

Thanks, good points to consider. My thinking on the lens with stops is that at least I can only go so far before I know that I've hit infinity focus. With the continuous ring, I never know for sure. I have been using the live view, zoomed to max, focus as well as I can...and still getting...

Good afternoon, everyone. I’m new on this forum, glad to be here, and I have a question about a lens. I have a Nikon D5500 with a couple lenses. One is the AF-P 70-300mm which has a focus ring that turns continuously and never stops. I understand that there is a similar lens that has a...

Good afternoon everyone. I’m new on this forum, so just introducing myself. I’ve been into photography for several decades, an interest that my dad kindled in me when I was just a kid. I’m strictly amateur but I do enjoy it. I’ve had numerous cameras along the way, some instamatic-types...
