>offensive to the ideals of art

>>4301983
these are epic, man. love the fishbowl effect across all the images as a series. you've got to make a book!

>>4301988
this is the best one. the curved fishbowl wraparound, the girl in red being the focus. keep making these until you've got a collection of 100, and make a book

>>4307649
a soft lens is usable

that doesnt make it worth as much as a sharp one. any chinese sweatshop can make a lens with “character”.

>>4307653
ah but that's the issue isn't it? character can be good or bad but there isn't an mtf curve or a dpreview studio test to prove it. "photographers" (gearfags) hate making art and hide behind technology, you see this all the time.

>>4307655
no im saying leica charges a shitton for ttartisan quality

all the le character can be measured, you can pick your pictorial effects on lenstip, thats why i dont care about that you are as much of a gearfag as anyone else

leica is a ripoff thats what i was saying

>>4307655
You sound bitter.

>>4307656
It went over his head, besides, it's not like every "character lens" doesn't have 50 reviews autistically measuring its every aberration down to the degree of bokeh swirl.

>>4307639
The noise reduction module removes them automatically when enabled (which it is by default), to be precise.

>>4306238
It has detail. The individual hairs are there. Just not as contrasty. Too sharp of a lens and it looks like a 3d render or AI enhanced. Why do you think mirrorless portraits shot with flawless lenses like the nikon noct and plena look uncanny before retouching? Human vision isnt nearly that sharp. If nikon had a 100mp camera you could crop super sharp 5mp images out of it, the sharpest 5mp has ever been, with the plena attached. It’s actually too much.

>>4305872
>Correct, now is the time to buy at inflated prices due to all the youtubers hyping them up. The real time to buy was years ago

these lenses are like $60 with free shipping faggot. have fun when they are $200 in a couple years.

>>4307249
i'm the anon that is in armenia, they're about $20 WITH the zenit cameras here, it's cheap as fuck

New kino just dropped. Did you ever want to use your tripod as... HIKING STICKS?

>>4307673
Anon monopods are nothing new don’t fall for chinkoid marketing nonsense

Just get a Pentax DSLR. Or a Nikon Z6 and adapter.

>>4307602
>60 funny monies
>I will like to keep my focal length
look m8, you can get a Pentax K10d for that much and even then its APS-C, good news no need for a PK adapter since it will work just fine, and the m42 lenses will just need an adapter that is less than 10 bucks.

under 600 you say?

canon 5diii

Just save up an extra £300 and get an A7, if you can't manage that then you're incredibly poor and should pick a different hobby. It will be so much better than a 40D (I own both), field of view with your lenses will be the same as you're used to with film and an EVF with focus peaking is so much better than using a crop body viewfinder with a split prism (an aftermarket focus screen will probably cost you half your budget for the body).

>>4307602
Get rid of all your Pentax lenses for Nikon lenses and get a DF for a proper SLR feel.

>>4307614
Here's some more info >>4300381
There are no additional optics added to the lenses so it's still a ~900mm f/6.3

>>4300238
how old? they started single coating in the 60s as far as I'm aware

>>4307645
It was apparently used during WWII, so 40s at the latest

>>4307651
hmmm apparently coatings were invented in 1935 but didn't get popular in Europe until after the war with Zeiss T* but wasn't common in Japan until the 60s... you know we kinda nuked and occupied them and all that. So I doubt it has any, and explains the very white veiling flare. 914mm-fag pls take a photo facing away from the sun/light, i'm curious. Where was it made???

Mine isn't branded but it looks very similar to ones listed as Dallmeyer (although those also don't say that on them, so not sure where the sellers are getting that info from) and those would be British. It was very overcast that day so that's about as good as it's gonna get. Here's the best photo I could get of the inside of the front element, the darker regions being what appears to be the coating that has been rubbed away towards the centre of the lens and then in patches where fungus possibly was.

I mainly do video. Short films and sometimes events.

>>4307605
Do you not use the 24-35 range on your zoom? I thought videofags loved the wide angle. If anything I'd suggest an UW zoom.

>>4307606
when I have to do wide stuff or things in the dark I prefer the 35mm. It goes down to f1.8 and has AF and IS. I only my zoom when I'm outside

>>4307599
sell the 24-105 and get a 100-400 if you do event videography. Its good for recording speakers and the like

On Nikon, if I use a 12mm DX(Crop) lens on FX (Full) body, and I change aspect ratio by cropping to 4:3 or 1:1, what would my equivalent focal length be?

All I know is that it will cover more of the vertical height since the crop is still a crop in a circle, while sensor crop shrinks at 3:2 ratio so the lens coverage is still enough to cover the 3 out of the 3:2 on the APS-C, so it gives 23.6 x 23.6 instead of just 23.6x15.7. This would more or less allow me to do 1:1 on full frame by simply cropping the sides off. Possibly even 5:4 or 4:3 with some serious vignetting.

I'm mostly thinking about fucking around with a cheaper APS-C ultrawide to do square photos on my fullframe. If I get a fisheye, I assume that makes vignetting even less of an issue.

it's the bit rate of the recording.

>>4303637
this. 100 mb/s vs 24 mb/s

bigger color spaces

as the other posters said, better bit rate, better color space (4k 4:2:0 is the equivalent of 1080p 4:4:4), most if not all Sony APS-C 4K capable cams lineskip 1080p instead of downsampling. Here is a comparison between the a6400 and the RX100III which doesn't line skip.

And a 100% crop before you argue that noise reduction has killed all the detail. Sure there'd be more at 100, but that looks like plenty to me.

>things can look like paper cutouts sometimes
What exactly do you mean here? I’m planning on getting a Z7 and this lens amount a couple of others, and all I’ve heard about it up until now is that’s it’s crazy performance for the money.

>>4307617
I looked back at photos and realize that post was literal cope because I regretted selling it and buying the shitty fucking 40mm f2 which is retarded and has a wavy field of focus

>>4307380
I'm XF23/2 for life but I'm sure overall all things considered the Smegma is better. Ultimately they're different lenses depending on whether you want a WR Fuji lens with aperture ring or you just want more bokeh and don't care about the lens being a total mismatch.

Aperture rings are stupid. There are two perfectly good rings on the grip of the camera
>the grip is too small and they're hard to use
You just bought the wrong fuji.

>>4307552
If you dislike aperture rings there's no reason to get a Fuji let alone use Fuji lenses over Sigma.

These are my Foojs, say something nice about them.
Sadly I haven't shot much in the last year or so. Used to post with you guys a lot but there's no more passion or energy left.

It is, wanting a "soft" lens for any subject is a meme for people high on fucking copium or deliberately wanting a visibly soft image not in focus. Usually for some meme artsy shit.
If you stop over baking images with post-process sharpening which literally highlights subtle textures and draws rings around it, "local contrast" which emphasizes any redness or gradients, and any other form of "slider" that retards who use Adobe software use all the time, you want a sharp lens.

Optical sharpness is the goal. Always has been, always will be.
Stop applying fake sharpness and you'll see how soft optics usually are, and then you'll be able to appreciate TRUE sharpness, from sharp glass, when you can simply not apply the fake shit.

There's literally no such thing as too sharp.
All instances of such a thing (and I mean ALL) where people even reference lenses being "too sharp" are always from retards looking at baked images. They're usually using Adobe software with sliders cranked up (defaults, btw) or they have sharpening enabled that they're not even aware of like with Adobe's "capture sharpening" bullshit that they might be oblivious to.
Everyone crying about stuff being too sharp is always busted for being an overbaked faggot if any research is done.
For example, anyone using dehaze/"local contrast"/curves/enhancements.
