Own and have used them all - Sony, Canon, Leica, Fuji. Nothing compares to this little guy. Has reignited my passion to shoot and is now always in my back pocket. Any other shooters feel the same?
>>4476807>butut it was a studio!cope more
>>4476538Between the RIcoh GR IV and the x100vi I'm picking the fuji. Not many people are talking about it but the Ricoh GR iv has build in diffusion filter in it's lens. Smears high lights to all hell and doesn't have a modicum of weather sealing. The fuji at least has a built in flash and better build quality too. Getting a cheap GR iii is probably the best option but it's kind of a wash unless cost matters to you.
There's a megathread on the other site about GRIV's known issues. Damn.
I'm using the GR III, it's been the best photography-related purchase I've made.Recently I'm shooting in Av/Tv with manual ISO (400 daytime, 800 night time) and Snap Focus enabled. This is the best way to operate a camera that I've tried, after a full manual lens of course.I like snapshot photography (japanese genre) and I have a few documentary projects going on thanks to this little beast always being in my sling wherever I go.Outside of always being with me, which is all that a camera should be already, I find IBIS to be spectacular. If I'm shooting still images (urban landscapes mostly) I tend to go 0.3" and it takes just a couple of shots to get a clean shot. Sometimes I go 0.6" and give it ~10 shots.
>>4481106Also at the time of buying it I decided to go with the HDF version, and quite frankly I never use the HDF filter, because the effect is too strong. The only occasion where I would consider it is if it's a directly lit object without the light source in the frame, so as to produce a soft glow. And it's also ok on overcast days as in this pic.Other times I tend to use the "Soften" module on darktable to do a much better job (mostly because it's controlled, even if I have to use masks on some lamps sometimes).
Holy hell those fuckers get greedy. This GX8 has its forward dial missing yet MPB says "it's ok, just buy it goy".Private used market (classifieds, ebay) doesnt look much better. they want hundreds of Euros for essentially trash. all the Lumix GX9 around here are like 800 euros. WTF dudes. many times classifieds are even more expensive than MPB (where you get 12months of warranty lol)and dont get me started on fuji prices lol. i'm not even looking anymore at those anymore.fucking camera market I swear. you write the seller and ask them for a proper price and they block you because "only sincere offers" then you look and their shitty 10yo cam is still listed as unsold months later because who's going to spend 1k on a shitty 10yo m43 cam with a kit lens lol?i hate boomers its unreal
>>4476239MPB is a centralized store, not a marketplace anon...
Yesterday I saw a Meyer Görlitz 100mm f/2.8 Trioplan in an online auction bunched with old binoculars and a Yashicaflex, the auction house probably didn't realize the worth since it wasn't indexed, or perhaps it was broken or moldy. Bidded 50 €, couldn't bother to stay until the end, and some fucker bought it with 51 euros. Man, I don't even really like the bokeh rendering but I sure feel frustrated that some old Scrooge bought it without realizing what it was...
>>4476266That is the way though. Snipe in the very last minute in the hopes that the other guy forgot about the auction. I love buying from auction houses that sell a variety of stuff because they overlook things all the time.. just listing stuff as a particular camera "with lenses" so only eagle-eyed people like me are able to decipher what I am looking at with my only competition being cowards who are afraid to take a risk.T.vintage lens enjoyer and acquirer
>>4469311It's not 'boomers' if that were the case the used DSLR market would be overpriced as well.
People want old equipment for many reasons. Adapting old lenses to mirrorless, older compact cameras and micro four thirds because of the size and not being in production anymore and sometimes pure hype because of social media.>wooow look at the heckin' cool photos this guy took with "product".It is imagery magick of sorts where people think their photos will look cool if they get "product".Those who just want a proper (large) camera and can skip the latest and greatest are in a buyers market mostly.
So i got a beat up point and shoot. And shot my first roll. Super nice. But thwn I opened the back, because I didn't know how to wind the film. I did this multiple times. Eventually I found out, but now I am scared of getting it "out" because it cost alot of moneyWHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY SO EXPENSIVE I LIKE IT BUT TOO MUCH MONEY
>>4475608>spending more money to make the same jpegs will make you a better photographerBut that dog hair fag is the worst photographer on /p/, and the best photographer on /p/ (ambush) uses a dslr and spends his money on travel

>>4475615I am waiting til muh next salary to develop it i will either send it here, if the thread is alive still. Mods plz dont archive.>>4475608Yeah thats what i thought too. I used to have a digicam, it looked good, but not in a warm way. Its ez to shoot on digital tho. But I'll stick to film as i am trying to get into scrapbooking.Film just looks so cinematic, in a way that digi doesnt. Yes digi looks good, especialy the ones with like 4 megapixels. I like the way white is blown out. But it looks cold. Film looks warmer. Im using kodak gold so I think it will be fire Plz mods keep this one alive so that I can post results
>>4475542Op here, its not the same. I have shot digi and it is absolutely not comparable. Digi is just more available thats it
Who the fuck likes this focal length? What is its purpose?
>>4476133>The eternal an unceasing seethe you generate is truly something to behold. Truly magnificent.Thanks anon, it's taken quite some time to cultivate so I appreciate that you can appreciate it :)
>>4476014>DISTANCE to subject influences distortion, and FOCAL LENGTH influences background compression.Not really. And that's what i'm talking about how people became so ignorant.Distance tricks perspective. Focal length tricks mere field of view. Take picture with 28mm, crop the center in 50mm or 100mm or 1000mm and compare with actual 50 or 100 or 1000 lens's picture. The only difference will be the field of view, how wide or narrow the picture.In other words, in wide picture there is narrow focal length's 'compression' always. You just have to crop it to make it prominent to notice. It's like people saying people using umbrellas causes rain. Same in muh Portrait Lenses.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>4476575>denoising made it slightly better while reducing the filesize by half, because noise = additional visual information that cannot be optimized easily by JPEG's algorithms. So not only do you make you photos worse by not denoising them, you are also being a cunt to everyone else who has to download your noise for no good reasonKek, this is a new copypasta it's so retarded and full of NPC cope.

Hi, can you guys help me? I'm trying to understand what makes the colors in these photos appealing. Is it the saturation, the yellow light from the Sun, or something else? Thanks

>>4470294id happily lick the sand from her feet
>>4470293so pretty much what >>4468222 saidGiven that it's not made anymore, just use whatever fresh slide film you can get, and consider a polarizing filter as well.And since E100 is basically all you can get now you might also want a warming filter for that.I've heard even Gold 200 with a polarizer can give similar results so that might also be worth a try.>>4470298based
>Tried rangefinder camera for the first time>Yashica_Electro_35_GTN.jpg>Felt absolutely like shit to shoot>The shutter sound boring>Felt awkward to holdRemind me again why people like film rangefinder? Not to mention that my friend bought it used and the quality of the viewfinder itself is quite terrible. so like, why? Do I need to try Leica or something?
>>4451975I like using my Olympus XA rangefinder, mainly because it's tiny and I can carry around in a pant pocket for random family photos whenever we go out.I have no interest in lugging around my SLR when we go to a diner or concert.>>4467778There's a weird amount of people that consider the "feel" and "sound" of the shutter and film advance to be a significant factor in how much they like a camera.IMO the only things that matter are ergonomics, features, and image quality.
>>4451975DESU I'd recommend you do try a Leica. Just go to your local Leica store with your credit card and a roll of film. ask them to look at some of the cameras. Eventually ask to look at one of their film bodies. After you chat with the salesperson for a half hour or so, ask them if it would be possible to do a walk around with the camera. You will need collateral, a card that can cover the camera if you lose/steal it, or gear insurance for rentals that would cover it in case of loss.I regularly walk around with their bodies and it's always an enjoyable experience, just remember that it's polite to buy something every once in a while. I usually pick up the latest issue of the LFI magazine while I'm there.While I do like their film bodies, I also tried a digital rangefinder that had no screen. It's quite literally the closest you can get to shooting film without having to actually shoot film, although I really enjoyed my experience with the MP. Nothing beats the feel and ritual of shooting film.
>>4451975maybe find that epson rangefinder with voigtlander no need develop film

Hey guys! I've been shooting a DIY documentary in the observatory mode for over a year now about a local band. Throughout the year, I've shot the band throughout their everyday life and interviewed the members one-on-one in talking head segments. I plan to intercut the "fly-on-the-wall" moments with the talking heads. However, I can't think of any other documentaries that have done this off the top of my head (with the exception of Tiger King). I'd like to watch a few films in this style so I can get a better idea on pacing/editing. Do you guys have any documentary recommendations in the observatory mode with talking-head interviews? Especially if it's a music doc? Thanks!!!
>>4473964npr small studio does this all the time
Glad I held off getting the iM20 because this looks like the TTL flash of my dreams, especially since I like the Uncle Terry look It's pretty cheap, should I buy it? Inb4 buy an ad
Anons i'm thinking i'm buying this. >79usd>GN20>2 AA batteries>USB C. not outdated 5 pin>Creates sharp jaw line shadowI think it's much better pick than those godox ones
At least from now, no one's gonna to look for an used fuji's over priced 400usd EF-X20 meme flash. and fuji's GN is even 15.
>>4475499>the boxy shape of FlashQ FM2 compliments the iconic look of rangefinder camera
You may need a hotshoe riser for those Godox mini flashes. If your lens is too large it will block the flash.
>>4475988Only really applicable if you shoot Sony and dont have small primes
Hello 4chan! I'm creating a horror project in roblox related to SSTV, and I don't know what pictures to add. For the Robot 36 mode, I have already made both regular images and really frightening ones. Can you help with the selection of images? Memes, Google Maps places, creepy pictures, and just throw pictures of anything you want will do.
>>4475977Anything in particular?

Throw anything, I will choose the most suitable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JgaSjzGkJ0I was kinda surprised to see that he isn't even using any form of stabilization.Kevlar, Canon RP, EF to RF adapter and a 50mm F1.2 EF lens. That is pretty much it.
>>4473559Watched the video. Basically it's street, but you're more likely to get shot, shelled and kidnapped. Also your camera suffers more wear.Shooting nothing but manual seems like a flex. Cool that he's shooting in war zones so that I have pictures to go with my morning news, but I think most YouTube reviewers give better gear advice than this guy. It's clearly not his forte.
>>4475759Q.E.D.: the whole hiding the SD card is a 2010s thing. Most of the places this guy is at have mobile service. A modern body can push photos straight to the cloud via a mobile hotspot as you shoot making this a non-issue.
>>4473657>he doesnt know what maid is
>>4473624I was in Afghanistan and we had these big Kodak digital back modded blads, a few F3s and a shitload of Nikonos V’s. The Nikonos’s were basically a point & shoot, but 1, that was what we needed instead of dicking around with settings all day like the F3s, and 2, holy hellin damnin ass if those Nik V’s weren’t as close to indestructible as Jesus and his 3 hot sisters ever came. You never hear much about the sisters, but shyyyyet he taught em to suck a mean dick and build a mean camera.

Please post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Previous thread: >>4464845I just copied and pasted the old OP because no one would bake a new breadThread Question: What is the advantage of darkroom printing?
>>4475279Shot high iso in low light and modify developing process, also maybe it's half-frame 35mm which means that whole image fits on 2x smaller area than regular 35.
>>4475971But on 2nd thought to be honest it could be a regular 35mm frame. I remember taking low light long exposure photos from hand and after developing I get similar results when I get photos out of the lab. But it was decades ago and on Fujifilm.

>>4471595Looking to get my first analog camera. Is a Nikon FE a good camera to learn on?
How do I get over the fear of using my camera in public? I got a fancy camera but I've never taken any shots with it because I'm too scared to go outside with it and use it
>>4456713to people who are too afraid to use their camera in public I always say this : get in a habit of taking all of your clothes off in crowded settings. There is going to be enough people that nobody notices what you are doing. You can to this once a week, even twice a week if you've got the time. Once your dick/titties start feeling cold you can put back everything and continue your day. After about six months of doing this pulling your camera out in public should be a no brainer
Want a cheatcode? Wear hi-vis. Grab a hi-vis yellow shirt, hoodie, or even a vest. Bonus pints if you get a few dirt or grease stains on it. People are so conditioned to ignore anyone wearing hivis that its basically urban camouflage.
I'm practically a bit new at photography myself.I sometimes struggle with this even though I know in my mind nobody really gives a fuck.I'm unattractive, skinnyfat and not exactly a looker. But it's only when my hair is really unkempt that I seem like a threat to anyone. Recently I had to visit a friend and her neighbor thought I was a rapist. She was following every anti-rapist rule in the book. Kinda bummed me out.Anyways I never try to focus or point at anyone directly. I believe it's better to practically advertise that I'm using a camera rather than try to hide it from people. I try to hold the camera at a level that it's obvious that I'm holding a camera essentially, and that I'm taking pictures. The results are that most of the time people don't give a fuck, once I got a few looks, once I captured plenty of people looking in my general direction because I decided to go for that rather than lose a shot. About once or twice I actually got asked to take a few pictures. So not everyone wants photographers (or people like me who are just getting into it I guess) to fuck themselves. It might seem like that because smartphones exist, and most people are retarded and think they replaced cameras completely. So it's not like everyone's walking around with a camera not attached to a phone. It does however get much easier if you have company. I guess like almost anything really. You bring a friend and it's much easier to just pop out the camera and take pictures of fucking everything. But good luck with that thing, having friends.
>>4456717Personally, I am struggling with the same thing and it all started with me being raped. I’m not afraid to say it. I drive a mobility scooter, and I was taking photos late at night and got invited to a party at an immigrant housing project and I don’t speak Somali so I thought they were all being friendly. They carried me up the stairs, leaving my scooter in the lobby. For the next several days, I was raped by multiple men, and I found out afterwards that they were renting me out for sex very cheap. My mobility scooter was stolen, but I luckily got a new one. After this, I was afraid of going out at night and started photographing at schools. Which got me into legal problems. But I’m working on myself to get my confidence back.
I noticed when taking pictures out there with some people around that they will just fuck off.I'm pointing my camera at a building, a set of stairs, whatever the fuck, and all I will get is "whoops sorry I'll move out of the way". Yesterday I was taking a picture of a random building and this cute lady just passed by quickly while crouching as if I would even give a fuck about accidentally taking a shot when all I'm doing is pointing at something that's not going to move. For as much as I dread getting someone angry at me because I took a picture of them without my permission, I don't exactly like having people apologize to me for walking, I don't own the streets.
