The #TTArtesan 500mm f6.3 costs $329 plus tax. It's a ridiculous price! Right? Right? Surely any street photographer could take advantage of such a price. I love how people's noses look against creamy backgrounds of all color types.

Yeah, it's going to be on eBay for 25 bucks 10 years from now.

Is This Ridiculously Affordable Lens Any Good?

In the past few years, we have seen a real influx of highly affordable lenses that still offer serviceable to even good results, but even by those standards, the new TTArtisan 500mm f/6.3 is really, really cheap. Can it offer good performance and image quality despite that very low price? This excellent video review takes a look at everything you can expect from it in usage. Coming to you from Photo Genius, this great video review takes a look at the new TTArtisan 500mm f/6.3 lens for Leica L, Sony E, Canon RF, and Nikon Z mount full frame mirrorless cameras.

Here is how I will make my point the #sony #mavica. I have a floppy drive one at home. You can get one that writes to CDs for 9 bucks on #ebay. It was around 600 bucks new probably more. Here's a review from #dpreview

Two new Sony CD Mavica's

Pre-PMA 2002: 17:01 EST: Sony has today announced two new CD Mavica digital cameras. The MVC-CD250 is a 2 megapixel, 3 x optical zoom digital camera, the MVC-CD400 is a 4 megapixel, 3 x optical zoom digital camera. Both cameras store their images directly onto 8 cm CD-R or CD-RW discs. Both cameras offer significant improvments over last years offerings, most notably the 4 megapixel sensor in the CD400, five area selectable AF (CD400), new white balance options, MPEQ HQX and a flash hot-shoe (CD400). Sony has also proved it listens to its customers by adding a 'Confirm before write' option for both of these cameras.

The #mavica #camera was loved by people who made website photos... web #developers, #pornographers, #catlovers, etc. There's probably enough mavicas out there to satisfy anyone who might need something to hold a door open or balance a table. #photography #collectors probably. The #ttartisan #500mm f whatever is a nice #lens that probably won't get made into billions of copies and its note usually used so it may end up worth it's weight in aluminum metal real quick. Or highly valued but few.
