I was photographing at a friend's blues jam last night, using it as a
chance to practice band photography. I decided to try using autofocus,
and the handy af point selection.
Looking at the photos, almost every one focuses on the microphone
instead of the musician. How
It looks like a good stand.
BH lists the attachment size as Baby (5/8).
Is it what one typically finds on microphone stands?
