Well I ordered a used Fujifilm GFX 100s for 3k and the Gf 50mm f3.5 for a little over 600$. I've been doing a series of suburban/urban landscapes late at night and was previously shooting with a Nikon z7ii and the 35mm f1.4 and Voigtlander Nokton 40mm. I think the 50mm should be a pretty good light weight option but I was also looking at adapting some pentax 645 and Mamiya glass. I've also heard the Mitakon 65mm f1.4 is pretty good. Any suggestions or tips for someone who hasn't ever shot digital medium format?
i had a 50r and the 50mm 3.5 and the 65mm mitakon for a bit. sold the 50r and the 50mm and got a 100s and the 45mm 2.8. it spends most of its time with an adapted macro lens attached now lol, because i use it to scan my film. the mitakon is good, about what you'd expect from a large aperture lens on the cheaper side. otherwise it's mostly used for friends and family picsnormally i shoot film or apsc. the most noticeable thing about shooting on the 100s for me is that the files are giant and slow to work on my computer. another strange result i get with the 100s and had with the 50r is color banding on jpegs. which seems strange to me because i never had an issue with that any other cameras - compact, apsc, full frame, etc. probably user error since i haven't heard of others running into this. you could say just always shoot raw if you're going to go to the trouble to get a gfx. that's pretty fair but a lot of the time you don't want to deal with a 200mb raw file and its annoying for such supposedly powerful camera to have such a lame shortcoming. besides that, it's very nice
people hear 'medium format' and expect to get blown away. but as you'd guess from the sensor size, it's not radically different from ff
>>4492438Actual medium format film is noticably nice because you get very fine grain (except for 645) and pleasing film attributes in basically any scenario outside of super low-light.GFX Medium Format is like what... 1.2x larger than FF? Pretty sure 645 is 1.4x the size of 35mm/FF, and 6x7 is 1.5x. Except I'm absolutely convinced due to the way smaller pixel pitch you get worse colour rendition and less light gathering.
>>4492437If you get a GFX to shoot JPG you are a retard, simple as
>>4492368Just use a digicam. Trust. You can get one of those suckers at the thrift for 30 bucks.

2 is literally his best photo. He looks the nicest in it, safe lighting choices.

>>4432114Number 2 is the clear winner because the rest are just giving off confused grandad

If Burt didn’t mention my pics, does that mean they’re good or bad?
>>4492803Worse.Irrelevant.
>>4492805Shucks, I was afraid of that
>>4492803its ok anon we have each other stillin irrelevance
>>4492998What does that matter?
Haven't posted in a couple of months but got a few rolls developed recently and I'm slowly going through scanning them.Exif: Leica M3 + Nokton 50mm f.1.5 + Vision3 250D (for the first seven ones), then Aerocolor IV for the remaining four.
Last one from this roll.
Film photography is better due to low sensitivity in dark areas. No one needs to see what is in dark areas most of the time. Just imagine this photo with unnecessary crap in shadows.

Film photos are just pleasing to look at. You can tell when a photo is taken on film.

Reply if you're a real mf'er
>>44914156x6 TLRs are a lot smaller than you'd think.A folder is probably always going to win on compactness, but zone focussing and composing with the brilliant finder on my Ikon 515/2 sucks. My Microcord (Rolleiflex copy for all intents and purposes iirc) is smaller volume wise than my 35mm SLRs.>>4491421I understand the packing purposes issue but personally when I've travelled with my folder I always brought a 35mm SLR anyway because I knew the folder was so limiting.There are a few folding rangefinders, like the Mamiya Six, Voigtlander and Zeiss made them also. You could always get a hotshoe rangefinder and mount it to your folder.tl;dr Like you say if you bring the folder you will want a 35mm also, so the TLR is there if you want to replace both I suppose. Unless your folder has a rangefinder already in which case I think wanting anything further is GAS.
>>4492500>HotshoeI meant cold shoe but you get the pointPicrel is from my Ikon 515/2 on a trip to Vienna where I just had a carry on bag. I still managed to pack my Praktica TL1000. I've done small day hikes with the same set up without issue.

contributemostly wanted to experiment with the 'natural' setting on the K10DI think I used -2 saturation, 0 contrast, +1 sharpening but I adjusted it here and thereI also played with color correction in the WB but it wasn't too greatalso, /digishit/ general bread
>>4492439Still not convinced I should keep it.

Oldie but a goodie
I went out on the streets late and took some photos tonight with this phone, here they are..
I'm buoyed by the compliments, thanks guys>>4491562No there's CCTV in that park
>>4490749I was thinking something similar. It's cool that the camera is low quality but there's still thought and intention behind every picture. Good work OP, you made something interesting.
>>4491563and if there weren't cctv?
>>4492552
Loved the first one
Previous Thread Image Limit Reached: >>4474697Incidental Northern Mocking bird outside my balcony. Didn't have a picture of one yet.
Pair of many-colored rush tyrant from my first ever roll of film, what do you guys think? Is analog bird photography viable?
>>4492749dial up indian internet?
>>4492749Moving forward, I will attempt to make every image I post exactly 5mb in size, only because I can't post them larger. I would love to post every one as a 500mb 4x upscale TIFF file only so I can see you cry more.
I just got an old digicam and the previous owners didn't delete all the photos. I took a peek and some of the pics are actually kino.
>>4490341He did it on purpose.
Using recuva on about 100 old memory cards I have probably only gotten a couple that had somewhat decent photos on them. It is amazing just how terrible the average snapshitter is and how they all take the same type of shitty photos. One card had a ton of folders on it spanning over several years where they had taken photos of everything from baptisms to funerals.. all family events. One card had several full frontal nudity photos of an elderly man taken in the mirror on vacation. It feels somewhat wrong to peek into the lives of others though.
>>4489096Postem!
I got some on a digishit I bought for cheap, but they're boring: two cars, probably photographed for a listing. And some family photos with a baby.
Once bought a used camera phone that contained a video of a guy doing an uncanny voice impersonation of Herbert the Pervert from Family Guy.
lemme see your shots for the moon!this is mine btw captured with canon 2000d 55mm i can not remember my camera settingsi gave it some edit with lightroom this is first time with DSLR

Best I can do with a Ricoh GR
photos of my cat Rupert that i took on my phone which at least trace amounts of thoughtful composition, as per the board rules I like this shot because it really focuses on his face, which is cute
