Have you found good resources for connecting to photography-related feeds or photographers?

Following this convo and also looking for the same.

It’s indeed quite stunning and I’m thankful to live only about 20 min from it.

Yet, I have only been 3 times. Need to remedy that. (I’ve only lived here 2 years so partially forgiven).

It’s pretty awesome. I had the iPad Mini 6 256GB and recently upgraded to the 7. If you can find a deal on the 6 it’s quite similar.

My primary iPad is the 13” M4 but the mini is my preference for reading & using around the house. I posted some comparisons to other screens on my feed if that helps

Thanks - appreciate the chance to start fresh but forgot how much time it takes!

Hey Alec - how are you finding folks here? Starter packs? Lists?

What advantages do you see here vs Threads?

I don’t believe there is a method of connecting other accounts or importing from other services. Just rough starting over from zero.

In terms of replicating a network of contacts?

Perhaps the Tamron 70-180 2.8 is worth a look. I use the 70-200GM 1st gen and really enjoy it but it’s heavy and bulky in case that’s a factor.

That’s where primes can shine if you don’t need the flexibility.

Can go used via B&H or MBP. The 25mm zeiss and 85mm zeiss are very sharp and much cheaper than when I bought them. Lightweight and compact.

Or Sony 35 f2 works.

For zooms what are you wanting to capture?

Depends on your budget and what you’re hoping to shoot. There are more cost effective options with excellent quality.

The 70-200 GM is fantastic but it’s a lot to carry at times.

The 35 f1.4 is nearly glued to my Sony A7RV.
