I got Fujifilm 250mm F4 few weeks ago but I realize it has bad optical quality. It's not sharp instead of slightly blurry. I had this issue with my Sony 85GM so I sent it for repair. I asked this issue to FB group and they def say it's a bad copy. I got it from B&H but I missed 30 days of returning cause I was traveling and I tested recently. Is it possible to return it for a replacement or should I request a replacement from Fujifilm USA?

Im sorry but I still dont get it. I have no idea how many times I should rotate the focus ring or silver ring with the inner lens at once. Otherwise, I can not put them in one piece. Also, there are two levers but there is no way to use the aperture ring to activate it.

I was trying to fix the aperture cause it was sticky but now, I'm not able to assemble all at one piece. It seems to be a simple work that I need to screw two pieces at once at a specific degree but I can't put them together. I tried to find a manual assemble this but I couldnt find anything since nobody ever disassembles every part. I really dont wanna send this to a repair shop because they want me to charge $100 for a simple job. I just need to find a way to rotate. Any information about assembling Canon FD 50mm F1.8 SC??

I've been researching about the permit and rule about using a portable studio light like Profoto B1, Godox AD200, and more since I wanted to try using it. However, I am not able to get any information. For specific parks like central park, brooklyn bridge park, hudson river park, and more, I got what I need to know. However, I have no idea about other locations and parks. Nobody even mention anything about this. I know that I need to pay for commercial works but what about none commercial uses? I dont see any rules or guide lines about it. I kept sending message to NY office but I got nothing about it. I want to shoot portrait pics with a studio light on the street but Im quite afraid that I cant since I dont know anything about the rule. Where can I obtain information about using a studio light on the street?

Well, I tried to find an internship but two photographers disappointed me since they just want me to clean their house for nothing. Im trying to learn both Photohsop and Capture One Pro from lynda.com for few days to study and improve my skills. Do you think that I should just keep shooting pics?

Well, I graudated from BFA Photography major 2 months ago. I wanted to shoot fashion/portrait photography but Im still having problem with retouching and I doubt my fashion/portrait skill. In fact, I never learned anything about fashion/portrait buy myself. At least I spent 5 years to shoot portrait without purpose but fun. Today, when I checked the facebook group, I saw a young guy who is 19 years old posted portrait pics on the group and I shocked becasue he had much better retouching and portrait skill artiscally and technically. Few people that I heard didnt learn and studied from college but they shot pics for fun. Now, they are getting a lot of money for shooting portrait and fashion pics in NYC. Their pics look better than me. At this point, Im seriously feel gloomy and Im quite lost about what Im going to do. I wanted to shoot fashion/portrait but my skills isnt improving that amatuers are now better than me. Im highly talented for fine art photography but in order to earn money for living, I need to have another work: fashion/portrait. People told me to keep shooting pics but I highly doubt that Im doing right. It is true that I never learned fashion/portrait properly but other people who never learned photography shoot much better than me. What am I suppose to do? I might gonna end up as a normal photographer who shoot pics for nothing. This is not what I wanted for my life but I have no idea what to do next.

<p>You guys are being bad. I shot with 4X5 for macro it works. F64 shows the best quality. </p>

<p>Rodeo Joe/ It's possible base on my test with 150mm lens with bellow extension. Do you ever use 4x5 camera before? dof problem? I used it at f45 and it had deep dof. Focusing issue? I have an omni light for that. I already solve most technical problems. And I asking for how to put beetles on air not technical problem unless I want to try specific lighting set up. But first, putting the beetle is the first issue. </p>

<p>John Schrey/ It's not that simple issue. clamp can't even hold the beetle because pin is too thin. and I don't want any part to be shown such as clamp.</p>

<p>I'm gonna shoot macro photos with 4x5 large format camera. I already tested with 150mm lens and it came out great. However, the lighting set wasn't good enough. If I can put beetles on the air, I could try different studio lighting but I have to put them on specific plate since those things have pins on them. </p> <p>http://thefoxisblack.com/2014/04/15/john-hallmens-macro-photos-of-insects/</p> <p>Those pics are what I'm trying to do. I have no idea how to put beetles on the air so I can try few strobes together.</p> <p>Due to bellow extensions and aperture, I have to use F64 so using soft box or other light modifier is not possible. Putting two strobes on each side created nice pic but the beetle was on the ground. If I can put beetles on the air, what kind of light setting can I try unless the strobe provide enough power for F64 with the light modifier</p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=381069">Tony Clark</a>/ I know how a soft box is broken down. and why do I have to apologize for?</p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=1471453">Michael Mowery - New York City, NY</a>/ No I just can't carry more equipments for now. Wrong? Give me a break.</p>

<p>I never try this wireless studio strobe in my life. I rented from my school for 3 days. It was quite impressive tho. I'm going to practice with this equipment and then use these for couple portraits later in spring. Since these equipments are so heavy and big, I can not carry any light modifiers like beauty dish and soft box at all. Are there any alternative solutions for soft box and beauty dish wish portability?</p>

<p>I asked and paid one of my friend to make a logo for my portfolio site, business card, and watermark. Well, the concern is that the logo design is similar no almost same design with Pentax 67ii since I like it and it's symbolic to me. However, I guess it might not be possible to use that logo since Pentax own that design. Will it be ok to use the logo design tho?</p>
