A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How sensitive is the part that the lenses goes on top of? (alien.top)

I just got a camera (canon 250d) and whenever I take the lense off the body I get all sweaty and afraid I’ll break it by using too much force. Im always careful with it and I noticed the small square on both the body and lense but I just want to know how sensitive it is. Can I scratch or damage anything if I place the lense wrong on the first try? I’m always thinking I’ll break it if I use too much pressure or twist too much, too little.

Watch sports photographers swap lenses in the middle of a game...they're fast, because they've gotten used to knowing which way is up. Maybe practice swapping lenses at home until you recognize familiar click sounds of the lens hitting home
