Lacklustre start means ordering new photographer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lensman

'photographer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lacklustre start means ordering new' is the wordplay.
'start' indicates taking the first letters.
'ordering' is an anagram indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
The initial letter of 'lacklustre' is 'l'.
'means' is an anagram of 'ensma'.
'l'+'ensma'+'n'='LENSMAN'

(Another definition for lensman that I've seen is " Snapper".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
