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.

Are Titanium lenses just a trendy/visual thing or does it affect the lens specs compared to a full metal body ? (alien.top)

I wanna buy a TTartisan lens and I see that the Titanium version is something like 150$ dollars more expensive than the silver one

I don't really care about the look I'm making photos not being fashion lol so I'm asking myself about this

Titanium seems to have a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion.

I suppose this could have advantages on keeping a lens focused in situation where the temperature change a lot and the focus need to remain the same.
