typically portraits are taken with 50mm lenses
While photographers use a variety of focal lengths for portraits, the focal length that’s most associated with portrait photography is 85mm. This article from lens review site Imaging Resource illustrates the point; most of the lenses are 85mm or equivalent (e.g. 42.5mm on m43 with a crop factor of 2 making the field of view equivalent to 85mm).
Only certain mirrorless lenses ate compatible with teleconverters, and that one isn’t. Teleconverters are also surprisingly expensive. RF mount is also expensive because Canon banned third party lenses entirely until recently and continues to heavily restrict them.
I think the the least amount of BS from a major camera company is probably Panasonic:
- Panasonic uses two lens mounts (micro four thirds and L-mount), both of which are shared with other body and lens manufacturers
- Old bodies get firmware updates
- Features are rarely artificially restricted for market segmentation
- Third parties have written apps to talk to Panasonic cameras
The biggest downside to the brand is that until very recently, Panasonic bodies had only contrast-detection autofocus, which can pulse if used in video and doesn’t track moving subjects very well.
Zebralight W51
You probably mean H51, or H51w. The H53 series is the current equivalent.
I think OP wants something with a little more power. Zebralight has a suitable offering in the SC700d HI. It is, by all accounts excellent, and it is priced accordingly.
There was a recent related discussion on Hacker News and the top comment discusses why this sort of solution is not likely to be the best fit for smaller organizations. In short, doing it well requires time and effort from someone technically sophisticated, who must do more than the bare minimum for good results, as you just learned.
Even then, it’s likely to be less reliable than solutions hosted by big corporations and when there’s a problem, it’s your problem. I don’t want to discourage you, but understand what you’re committing to and make sure you have adequate buy-in in your organization.

I’m confused by why they would do this, and at the same time, why not for private text messages.
I’m in favor of encrypting as much communication as possible, but I don’t think many of Discord’s users were complaining that their voice chart wasn’t secure. I’d expect more of them to care about text chart, which is less effort to spy on.
