However they still require shooters with skills and a budget to match.

Our content was largely based on our ability to find brand new models. Magazines, especially teen ones lapped them up and paid very well. However we did change a little. We didn't fly to Spain or Portugal, we didn't get very elaborate and we kept to a very similar format. Because that's what paid the most.

Also giving a brand new model something a bit out there to do isn't great, having to cope with a new model and a new theme isn't good. Especially if the increase in profits were none.

Magazines got around this problem by using different shooters in the same magazine, so for them it wasn't an issue. Sites using the same shooter, same theme gets boring. Especially after 30 or 60 days.

"Closely Observed Trains" is one film probably shot on a far better budget than porn. One film shot over and over again gets boring. That's why it's essential to bring out the girls true character and I wrote about that. She will make every scene hers, if she would only be herself.

As for lens. Never change a lens on a digital camera, it results on dust on the chips and spots on the image. I thought you would know all this.
