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.

Has anyone noticed that over the years reselling things has become more difficult? (alien.top)

I've noticed recently that selling my lenses have been quite difficult. I keep getting young kids asking all sorts of questions that could be answered if they googled the model number. "Is it autofocus?" "Is this for full frame?" "Will this work on my camera?" "Is it good for real estate?"

It's like a whole younger generation of photographers don't know how to research things and get their information from youtube and tiktok where you can't search model names or technical specs.

Effort is hard. But looking what effort it took 20 years ago vs today? Yeah I can watch a few 10-15min videos to get idea about a product that I'm about to spend a few hundread dollars on.
