keep reading about famous exhibitions like New Topographics, but how am I supposed to view them when there's no archive and they were touring 20 years before I was born?

worth getting a DSLR lens for a mirrorless system?

No.4434341 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I've been looking to get a fast telephoto (Nikon) without breaking the bank and as everyone slowly moves to the new mirrorless platforms the prices for DSLR lenses are 30% of their original

I would assume there wouldn't be too much of a deterioration in optical quality from the use of an FTZ adapter as it's really just a spacer to match the original DSLR focus plane

I would also likely have a teleconverter for more reach as needed in front of the FTZ which I think shouldn't pose any more drawbacks than with the original DSLR

my main question is if there's any major advantages to getting a native mirrorless knowing it's going to cost 3x more and lose half it's value as soon as it's bought

there's currently a local seller listing the 300mm f/2.8G VR II for $2,000 USD (currently $5,500 USD new) which could probably be knocked down a bit further

Picrel is my light gear.
I was thinking of putting each lamp on one side and give it hard lighting (a bit like the portraits shot by Martin Schöller)
Any tips, recs or suggestions?

Zoom lenses don't have "character"

No.4442910 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Why would anyone photograph with zooms?
Primes offer way more quality and bring character to the images.

Why do some photographers own more lenses than necessary?

Making a new thread as the old one's gone.
Just discovered that the manual focus on this lens/camera has a perfect 1/4. Actually the best fly-by-wire focussing I've used since the Leica Q.

Why is every thread about sensor size being pruned? If it's against the rules, then make an announcement saying so
Because I've had every thread pruned for zero reason
>inb4 this one gets pruned
At least give us a reason, it makes no sense
