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.

True, but its not like 1994. Resources abound in the good 'ol dystopian 2023! This is a matter of plain old laziness and the demand for effortless information on-demand plain and simple.

I'm relatively new to photography, but have been into buying/selling/restoring sportbikes for a bit. You can easily change the thread title and subject body of every single post here to '07 GXS600R and it would still be relatable, LOL! Some folk are fuckin lazy is all.
