Dave in Gig Harbor, WA (just south of Seattle) says: Here’s a 750 sq ft home I shot with a 24mm. If this doesn’t prove that all those zoom-wide lens aren’t needed I give up. I literally never go any wider than 24mm these days (often 50mm). The 24mm TS-e hasn’t been off my camera […]

??Diane in NJ asked a simple question: Should I always be using a lens hood? I have to admit that I rarely use my lens hoods but that’s a result of being lazy about keeping track of them and keeping them in my camera bag. After watching Phil Steel’s video, I realize I should be […]

?Bill in California asks: I’m interested in finding out more about which strobes/moonlights RE photographers use.

Candace in the Chicago area says: Just thought you might be interested in seeing the result of using the new Sony A7R III with Sony’s proprietary Pixel Shift algorithm.
