I had my shit sent with DHL and had to pay zero custom duties, same with @Shrimpf
Yep
No trouble
If the image circle doesn't cover the sensor, it means the lens doesn't project the image all over it meaning the edges is pure blur that won't have any chance to be rescued with any amount of work in post
so i just had to explain cock.li to my gf
As well as serious vingetting
she thought it was hilarious <:aliOK:251417852156837888>
I can definitely only focus the center of the image
But I'll do your photo requests tomorrow
@Make shipped out of China with DHL, not sure what you are talking about
I wanted to buy a chink fish-eye but they're so expensive and I am not brave enough to invest the money blindly
@Tribit DHL express charges 20€ for doing import custom duties for you and if you want to do them by yourself it's 40€
It's been the autistic way of measuring a lens in image quality for many many decades.
I only have one lens that manages it, and it's not a wide angle.
Dhl are top tier jews
just live in america
In finland they will do customs with very shady text message
Buy a used Samyang (Rokinon) fisheye with Nikon mount instead
then I need a Nikon -> NEX adapter?
Yes
but they're also 100 bucks +
You can do it yourself but it will still cost extra
Here if you order outside EU it is strongly adviced not to use DHL so I just said you should check for your own country also
Also since I bought that camera, I'm taking photos of everything, so I will probably buy a better camera soon anyway since it's starting to become a nice timesink. Not sure if I want to invest big amounts in sony E platform
But it doesn't have any electronic transmission, so it doesn't matter if it's adapted though it being Nikon mount means you can sell it much easier when you realize that fisheye is a terrible meme
Which camera did you buy?
A second-hand Alpha 5100
@Tribit when did you make your order? This is fairly new thing came out thi may
It was like 250$ with incl. lens
2 y/o
If you **truly** outgrow that in less than 2 years (excluding need for viewfinder), I'll send you my nex 7
"DHL From China $ 17.00 It takes around 3-6 days to get the parcel after the order is shipped out."
I didn't mean "soon" to buy a new one
but let's just take those two years: If I'm going to drop the platform in 2 years, why would I invest high amounts in additional accessories?
@Tribit Not in every EU country yet maybe but you can read it here through google translate: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fyle.fi%2Faihe%2Fartikkeli%2F2016%2F04%2F12%2Fmiksi-dhln-viestissa-ei-kerrota-etta-asiakas-voi-tehda-tullauksen-itse-maksutta&edit-text=&act=url
" Following the above interview, several King's viewers / readers were contacted by email, email, and comments below.
The viewers reported that making the customs clearance itself will soon be no longer free of charge: it will pay 40 euros from May.
Yes, you read correctly, self-service costs 40 euros and DHL's customs clearance is about half less.
DHL calls the fee as a "delivery service fee" and says it is common in the express courier sector. No payment can be avoided: "
