Fairly nice, as per the reviews. Back then I wasn't sure if I'd go with the Sony 35 f1.8 or the Sigma. The Sony is a bit faster and more compact and lighter the sigma is a tad bigger and slower, but has aperture ring and better borkah.
What made me jump on the Sigma was how I just bought the 90mm from Map Camera the day prior, as I knew I'd buy with the 90mm anyway. And handling it for a day made me 100% sure of it : I immediately went back to the tore to buy the Sigma 35 instead of the Sony 35.
Even in a timeline where the Sony had better IQ, I probably would buy the Sigma anyway just because of everything else. It just feels so nice to operate.

Yes I read that article but I don’t think it really explains what’s going on in most of his pics. I’ve seen plenty of longer exposure street photos and they typically look a lot messier, some of these almost look like pixel sorting because the lines are so sharp and it feels like it must be a mix of things. Definitely a slow shutter speed is part of the process but I’m unclear on how he makes them look like this https://www.instagram.com/p/Cuw91SGuVd4/?igsh=Z3JnMTZscmN1eG9i

>>4336336
It looks to me he's panning with the slow shutterspeed to get it, but I haven't tried getting that look before.
I'd try some various things and go from there mang, good luck!

>>4336003
Edited brainrot

He’s also cooking the contrast saturation and black point, and giving it a nice chunky film grain. A lot of this is achievable with just long exposure panning and the raw edits.

Looks like it’s sooc from any canon

both have their issues.
I know more about electronics rather than messing with clockwork mechanisms and machining new parts, but i'm sure i could learn if given enough time and money.

worst case, i'm sure I could work out the shutter/trigger mechanism of an RZ and drive it via an arduino or something (or re-use one of the many available Polaroid Land camera mods to base a new one from)

not the end of the world, but not ideal neither

Significantly less than I'd be willing to purchase a Bronica SQ for.
I'd even go over budget for some dead contax just to feel the smooth operation over the Mamiya MF series'

>>4333899
All the one-off, made-for switches, sensors, and actuators are both the most likely to fail and the hardest thing to replace.

The electronics basically rust or don't except for the caps

>>4336766
R5 is a great body in general, did you buy used or all brand new?
>>4336775
What don't you like about it? It's a highly rated lens so curious what you dislike about it as I was thinking of snagging it as my smallest focal length is the cheapo rf50mm 1.8f.
>>4336782
>f18 1/13sec
but why
You're in defraction territory at that fstop which will make your image quality a lot worse(softer).
Dropping down to f4-f8 you'd be able to bump the shutterspeed significantly higher at the same iso.

>>4336766
You did nothing wrong. Learn to use it and take some intredasting photos and show us.

Not him but I’ll guess cause it was cheaper

You went all out my guy, enjoy it, you'll not outgrow that body till it breaks so don't chase the gear.
In regards to the aperture side of things, yes the higher the aperture more of the DOF will be in focus, but there's diminishing returns.
F8/f10 is really as high as you want to push it, and F4 isn't that small of an aperture, won't be a low light monster, but it's still good, you can get creamy backgrounds even at f8/f9 if you space your distance between your subject and the distance to what's behind them.
Here's an example I took today of F8 at 400mm at almost minimum focus distance.
Before buying any other lenses, besides maybe a cheap rf50mm 1.8f, work on learning and understanding your existing kit.
Don't worry about getting the lowest shutter speed possible, both the r5 and the r6mkii(what I have) are still good up to 25,600 iso. Even though you have IBIS and IS in the lens, the blur from movement is apparent at low shutterspeeds unless you're on a tripod. 1/640 to 1/800 will work well and limit that a lot more.

I bought it off MPB on somewhat of a whim. Brought it on a wildlife walk with me one day with low expectations. Ended up very impressed with what it could do.

Ended up getting rid of everything except for my 5d/40d and some of my cannon lenses. Right now I just have the EFS 10-18mm, 50mm f1.8, and my 400 f5.6 L that I use for birding and wildlife. Might get the 17-55mm f2.8 just to keep the 40d kit well rounded.

Next step is jpeg only and being happy with light edits.

Nope, it was the other way around. The TTartisan has m42, while the NiSi has all the modern mirrorless mounts.
M42 is preferred obviously since adapters are cheap. Wonder if the lens is made at the same factory.. NiSi announced theirs earlier this year so it was a bit shocking to see the TTartisan one come to market first.

>>4335351
Agreed.
>>4335353
M42 is nice for DSLR compatibility but adapters add a lot of length to mirrorless.
L39 with rf coupling would be nicer imo. Easily adapts to M mount as well as virtually any other mirrorless mount. Also works on old Leica screw mount cameras which are cheap as shit. I honestly feel like cheap modern Leica screw mount lenses are such an untapped market.

For real though, M43 lenses are... Fine. But Canon lenses are basically magic bullshit. That being said I have a fair amount of areas in town and beyond where shoving an RF 100-400 is gonna get me spoken to or moved along, and I'm not even black.

Pure performance? Get a FF or at least APS-C. You gotta make sacrifices somewhere

I don't know how it works on the R8. But I have a Snoy A7CII and don't have a joystick. But I just point the camera at whatever I want to focus on, press the AF-ON button, and the focus locks in. I can then move the camera around recomposing, and the AF point stays put.

This was is WAY faster than using a joystick.

I haven't looked back.

You might be autistic anon.

You can get perfectly good Bokeh with f4.

Have an f1.4 lens but do not operate it at f1.4.
It's probably going to be at it's best around f4 or f5.6
But if you are a 16 year old girl whos just become enamoured with bokeh then you won't be particular enough to care about sharpness anyway
