Use them in my Olympus om1 it’s part of getting that look from that era.
Using my modern Nikon primes on the f100 produces something that looks halfway between film and digital.
I much prefer film with these older style lenses.

Not particularly, but Zeiss has a certain niche, and a lens doesn't have to be Zeiss-like to be good

Yes, but they'll adapt rather easily to modern mirrorless (DSLRs are S.O.L. though, since the back element gets in the mirror's way). The Takumar 50s are also known for their heavy flaring when wide open. Pic related is f/1.4.

Is it truly possible to learn to have aesthetic/creative/artistic (or whatever word you want to use) vision, and intent with your photos? I’ve been taking snapshits sporadically for the better part of 20 years now (pops game me an ae1 in middle school), but I don’t think I’ve ever taken any really great pictures.
>picrel, Ken Rockwell sliders applied to mediocre snapshit
My pictures seem to be more, just what I see, essentially just capturing the world as it exists with little meaning or really interest I’d say. Even calling it documentary would be too generous, it’s more cataloguing if anything. Can one break out of this box? Or is creativity like other inborn traits where you can train and practice but there’s a limit to how much you can do with what you’re born with? (/fit/ sisters can relate). I know probably it isn’t the best place to discuss since we’re snapshitters amongst snapshitters here, but surely this isn’t as good as it’ll ever get, right?

These are the photographers who tell you that content beats quality (never mind every other “great” took the same snaps as everyone else on 4x5/8x10)
>>
>>4310173
Based me too.

However I think it's important to capture things as they are. While it may be less meaningful now pictures from 150 yeFs ago the pictures of average people tell a much better story than the arranged portraits of famous people.
>>
>>4310280
You can do both

>>4310279
Quality is content.

If something is razor sharp or dreamy, that's part of the content. It's not like photography ever showed the world exactly how people see it. Anyone who tells you otherwise (ie: "lens sharpness doesn't matter" "soft is always bad" "sharp is always bad" "muh micro 3d colontrast pops") is coping with something or has schizophrenia.
>>
If you genuinely care about a subject or a place or a person, I believe your photos will reflect that. If you flit around between supposedly interesting things that you have no knowledge of or familiarity with, your photos stand little chance to be anything more than snapshots.

Let's say you are an alien tasked with photographing a baseball game. What and whom do you focus on? When do you focus on them? When can you expect the people around to react, and how will they react? How will you position yourself to tell the story of the relationship of your subjects? There's a big difference between photographing the batter when he's standing around, versus in the batter's box, versus swinging and missing, versus making contact, versus striking a celebratory pose after he hits a home run, versus the look of frustration when the ball falls just short and the outfielder gets him out. How could you possibly know to expect all of these intricacies if you just show up and gawk?

What's the best time and place to find a particular bird? Where's the best place in the city to look over the cathedral, and how does the differing lighting through the day change its appearance and mood? Where can you expect to find poor people, or rich people, or strange people?
>>
>>4310102
There's little natural contrast in this picture. Literal and abstract contrast is what makes a great picture. Ideally you use the literal contrast to highlight the abstract contrast.

You realize Sony donated money to partner with them so they'd bring this junk into orbit for advertising purposes, right?
Space niggers do real imaging. Imaging. Read the word. Imaging. Not photography. A consumer "photography" camera has no purpose in space.

They use raw sensors without color filters and swap custom filters for capturing real images with known wavelengths.
If they're bringing meme cameras to film the crew inside the human habitable zones, well, that's not much of an accomplishment is it? If it's fit for humans, of course any camera should work.

/fgt/ daily reminder (courtesy by anon): one stop per decade is (generally) bullshit
>negative film ages better than positive
>black and white better than color
>slow films better than fast
>storage conditions (dry/cool) matter more than years
>Negative film is shot 1 or 2 stops overexposed and then PULLED in development so that you build more density in the exposure and develop less such that the fog is limited
>slide/positive film is shot at box speed or overexposed and pulled.
>if you home develop you can also use benzotriazole as a restrainer for the the first developer in E6 process

>pic related

Got it in 2004 for my birthday. Dad spent $400 on this sucker plus the 256-512MB memory cards. It was awesome with the 4x optical zoom and fit in the back seat compartment of my motorcycle so I took it everywhere and got some great pictures. Sensor died not even three years later so my only complaint.

I’ll have to grab a few shots from my computer later, but looking back at some of the pics I’m still impressed with the quality of this little guy. They sometimes have that “DSLR” look instead of the processed iPhone camera look.

You gave them a refund, right?
Or at least delivered the RAWs so they can not live in cringe forever?
It's fine to suck, but giving baked JPEGs only should be a crime.

The more i look at old pictures, the more i think muh image quality is fucking pointless shit in cameras and photography. At least the image quality of today is sufficient. It's just very sophisticated advertisement of the market.

No matter what I do, I can't get my Nikon Z6 II to capture a sharp photo.
Pinpoint AF, tripod, shutter delay, changing apertures, whatever. Even tethering and going completely hands off. Doesn't matter what I do or how I do it, everything always inevitably looks like shit down at the 1:1 pixel level. There's always a soft blur. Not a single point in the frame is ever truly sharp.

This is a problem because I got this thing with the intent to digitize a bunch of stuff including some pretty big originals (too big to fit in a flatbed scanner) where I want to keep fine detail with 1:1 framing, no zooming in for separate "detail" shots. I set a goal for the ability to frame something 19x13 and get a sharp quality 300 DPI, but this isn't cutting it. At all. I don't know if it's my lens (NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8) or if it's my sensor not having enough resolution. Maybe the AA filter is ruining my fine details? or maybe advertised resolution itself is a scam when behind a bayer sensor?

I only care about such fine details in situations where the camera will be mounted and capturing still subjects.
Would a camera without an AA filter do better?
Should I get a 45MP Nikon or a 61MP Sony?
Would pixel shift likely solve all my problems?

100% user error or shit processing unless the UPS guy drop kicked your lens.

I wouldn't get a sony btw, if this bothers you, sony will bother you even more with all their raw cooking.

Z6 II doesn't have such a mode.
>>4310422
f/4 is what yields max sharpness, at the center of the frame, which isn't crisp even there.
Here's a 100% from f/4 in a flat perspective. Not a single point in the frame anywhere in it is close to being tack sharp.

>>4310416
Maybe. This is the only lens I have though and it is supposed to be great according to all review sites.

>focus in front of subject
>focus shift shoot a few hundred frames at smallest step increment with e-shutter mode on, VR off
>cherry pick "sharpest" image from the bunch based on the center
>still not actually sharp
I would like to blame me but I can't imagine a way to try and squeeze more out of the gear. I'm not missing focus on moving subjects I'm trying to tripod shoot non-moving stuff in ideal conditions.

>The more I look into this shit it seems like everyone saying bayer offers anywhere near its advertised resolution is on some serious copium
Yeah, digital color photography is inherently algorithmic and approximate, hence why I think digital purists are kinda retarded. With Bayer, your color resolution is 1/4 of your photosite count. If you want to view your scene at a certain size but are not happy with the sensor quality, use a higher megapixel one and downsample to the same size. The more you downsample, the less approximate it gets.

To clarify the size thing, a higher megapixel sensor will have higher per-pixel noise since each pixel is smaller. Thus, it may actually look worse at a per-pixel level though obviously that will be more "zoomed in" compared to the 100% view on a lower megapixel sensor. Where you do see benefits however, is when viewing at the same picture size since the higher megapixel sensor will be sampling that image more finely.

>The more I look into this shit it seems like everyone saying bayer offers anywhere near its advertised resolution is on some serious copium. On the other hand it seems like even people pointing out it isn't perfect also can't get their facts right. For example the site here says removing a bayer filter and shooting monochrome turns a 20MP EOS 6D into 80MP, but that should be impossible, in theory that could only make it a "real" 20MP.
You're right, that's not how it works. 20MP is 20MP. Removing the CFA does make each pixel a whole lot more sensitive though, since it's no longer exposed to just one color.

Looks pretty dern fine to me, chief, considering you're taking a picture of a US dollar bill which is mass produced ink on fabric and isn't gonna be perfectly sharp anywhere itself.

I don't understand. I've been taking photos and videos for over 10 years yet they still suck. I don't know why that is. I get told by family and friends my images are good, but every time I post it on the net there's someone there that says it's awful.

Do you all know?

Actually I was curious why your youtube is Zack but your name here is Zach. Also I do kinda love your photos and the straightforward titles of them so Photos is what id call it.

Also I only saw Fast and Furious once but thank you. Heres another i offer for your enjoyment and descriptions.

Is a nifty fifty necessary and a good second lens? Good telephotos have priced me out so that leaves something like pic related that is remote reasonably priced but has a function kit lenses don’t.

I use an f/1 prime all the time for indoor and evenings. Also night street.

People just have no idea what ISO actually does, and why their images are noisy in the first place.

If you don't know, here's the simple trick. If iso makes your image noisey, you didn't have enough light in the first place. All you have to do is get enough light so that you don't have any crushed blacks in your subject, and then turn iso up to get the level of exposure you want. 50 iso is for film l. There are no sensors with 50 iso as baseline. They are all 100. If your camera has <100 iso as a setting, it is a oost processing trick.

Peak of mount stupid.

No, you are the one on mount stupid.

Leicafags are an interesting species.
This is a thread to try and comprehend the minds of these consumerist retards.
Their subreddit, the premier place for Leica fans, has a rule explicitly stating that any photos need to "demonstrate a skill or technique that is incredibly difficult to execute correctly, has not been seen before, or both"
All the photos in the subreddit do not fit this idiotic criteria, yet are lauded.
99% of the posts there are about people buying gear instead of photos.
They care more about being seen with a Leica than actually using it.

I was going to write something about Nikon and Canon as a follow up but I thought people like you would remember the fact that Leica literally started 135 still photography and that Nikon and Canon were inferior copycats for the better part of a century. But I guess I'm a little too charitable, or naive, or whatever.
