I'm super into this idea. It's got stuff! It's got sharing! It's got socializing! Seriously, what a rad idea

That's a great idea for a store front. And great for buying for those people that are hard to buy for, cause they have to figure out how the whole collection works lol

Haha, i think, I recognise you from another adhd post 😄

Genuinely, what do you have and what would you possibly be looking to get for it if you were interested in selling it? I've got a EF mount Tamron 150-600 contemporary but it's a little slow.

i agree with you. a friend found an alto sax at an auction, got it for a song. when he heard i was dusting my tenor off he just gave it to me. i will have to give it back eventually, but we're just glad it's being played.

Oh shit nevermind, my wife is coming!

Phone cameras are good, yes, but their lenses are not. Even a cheap, used camera is better.

I get the point but there is no way my phone camera can capture the mountains reflected on the eyes of any animal even on full daylight

Wildlife photography really is mostly about the equipment though. And waiting/being in the right place obviously. But I can tell you from experience, a novice can absolutely produce pictures like this with the right equipment.

Phone cameras are great. Their compatibility with telephoto lenses is what sets them back.

I did the math for another post and if I remember right the best telephoto lens built into a very recent phone camera has equivalency to around 120mm (anything else is just digital zoom and sometimes AI enhance).

It's a relatively new gimmick, and it can do wildlife photography from afar (I got some good full body shots of deer recently), but it's not quite as good as 600mm or the 1000mm from the other post.
