>is this the POWER ofhello where are you?
why is there always someone seething whenever a m43 threat opens?Are m43 really that bad or whats up with anons malding over them?
>>4492832the photos are very, very low quality, about on the level of a sony rx100, maybe worse, see>>4458580maybe up to aps-c shitter with less than ideal settings quality if they know how to use a camera, see>>4490289but a few of the gearfag users (om5 idiot and g9ii thirdie) are irritating gearfags with obvious psychological issues, notorious for incessantly shilling these digishits as superior with a bunch of ass-backwards misunderstood math, and incessantly shilling against fuji and sony because the a7c and xe5 are really better choices than any new m43 nowone of them is "going away" which we all hope meant "committing suicide" because his incessant gearfaggotry (over $5000 USD spent, 12+ hrs per day spent between 4chan and taking the same test photo of the same tree over and over) leaked into real life and cost him his home, wife, son, and marriage so perhaps micro four thirds can be a /dst/ copy again, full of people with $250 em5 mk2s who literally cant afford full frame, as it was always meant to be
>>4492837Whatever floats your boat, sweatie.

So, which of the big companies is going to be the first to offer an affordable 100mp camera?Fuji is obviously already out there, but this thing is Eight thousand dollars. I suspect that when it happens (eventually) it will be Nikon. I feel like historically they are the company which has introduced high end features at a lower price.
>>4480592>So, which of the big companies is going to be the first to offer an affordable 100mp camera?if you want 100 mp you are retarded. learn what pixel pitch is.
>>4480592Theres a bigger chance of the next iphone hitting 100MP than boomer mirrorless cameras
>>4485650100 mega pixels of ai slop and other assorted computer gimmickery. No thanks, I'll stick with the "boomer" mirrorless, even though mirrorless cameras only came about after the boomers had already started to die off.
>>4480592Why the question? Wanna fake foveon or smth?
>>4480772>>4480774The solution would be to pair it with a 16-bit analog to digital converter
Last days of 2025 editionAll video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.>STICKY - https://text.is/QZ1J>Helpful guide, additional books and more in-depth FAQs - https://web.archive.org/web/20200926115310/https://pastebin.com/kG0gRmTZ>NO ONE CARES WHAT AN EXPERT YOU THINK YOU ARE.

>>4492333>That's why I say it looks like a potential mkii version could be an incredible cameraEvery company has the potential to release a perfect camera.>canon if they sort their ibis out>lumix if they use a better raw codec than prores raw>sony if they put internal raw and opengate into any of their cameras>nikon if literally anyone competent is involved in the designBut they don't. They listen to the feedback from dumbass youtubers and dig their feet in about not wasting time on issues that are 'good enough'. Blackmagic are the only ones that seem to actively care about addressing their shortcomings and it still took them how many years to put autofocus in the cinema 6k? Nevermind ibis.The reality is that there are already 'incredible' cameras available. You just have to figure out which shortcomings you're able to stomach (cause the pros will almost definitely outweigh them anyway). But I wouldn't put the zr in that category and I think it's dumb at best to hold out hope that a zrii will be great when there are already so many cameras that are better than what the theoretical zrii would be.
>>4492305They just added cinema shit to a photo camera. Give them time and they’ll release a proper cinema or vlogging rig.
>>4492344They don’t even listen to YouTubers. They haven’t made the perfect vlogging camera yet. The video shit in film cameras is for people who want to video thier kids game. If you want to use your camera for cinema or for vlogging or live-streaming or for anything other then capturing a quick video of a vacation or a sports game you need to rig out your camera. Their is no way to make a small light camera that will do everything everybody wants perfectly.
>>4492363It's nikon. And red.Their 'proper' cinema camera will have 90% of the same flaws but with a full size hdmi or something.>Look, we added 16 bit raw! This surely fixes the terrible ergonomics that made the camera basically unusable

If Burt didn’t mention my pics, does that mean they’re good or bad?

What are the best socials or search engines nowadays to discover relatively good photography?I've found Pinterest (without the adds) to have the best recommendations by far until now. What the hell happened to Instagram? Something that was born to be focused on photography in the 2010s became some sort of life people's blogs. Not even that, the recommendations are absolutely horrible, worst than things like Youtube. Sadly, it's one of the only ways for some kind of online social presence, and if you opt out of it, you regress to anonymity.I remember there were some online Russian sites who used to archive good stuff, like gallery.ru
>>4491761holy shit I thought you were talking shit so looked up the s5 pro.https://www.flickr.com/groups/fujis5/pool/with/54494318943That looks so much better than the z9 photos its not funny. I even had to look up what was going on sensor wise, its a CCD. Why the fuck isnt this technology getting pushed? this is the type of thing I would actually want
>>4491762An s9 photo.This is very good color for digital, some of the best ive seen.
>>4491762CCD isnt doing the colors its limited editing latitude (CCD has almost no DR) making the manufacturer write good data instead of lots of data and the users having better taste on average (digital MF and nicer canon DSLRs write lots of data but the users shoot and edit better as well)

>>4491761your a fucking snoy using nigger bitch
I was the anon thay said i fucked up my first roll of film like 2 months ago. Well, I got the roll of film back, and the light had only ruined like 8 photos so, 16 were pretty ok, besides looking like shit because I'm new to this. I especially liked this photo, but it looks kinda retarded.
>>4488688wtf is wrong with you lol
>>4488600best shot itt
I kinda like those pics. Have a nice vibe to them :)The sun looks nice, warm and cozy there
>>4488600Agreeing with some posters. Vibey.I’ve been experimenting with film recently and hope my night shots turn out as neat but I’m expected some totally unexposed frames off my disposable.
>>4491659>totally unexposed frames off my disposable.yeah. f/9 at 1/125 (give or take) is 10 stops too dark at night with 100ISO film, and 8 stops too dark with 400ISO film, or less than 1% of the required lightunless you used flash and subjects were close enough
Who's all still posting here?
>Y-you took a photo of your dog at home and you think its good because you used a sinar!?
>>4492647I thought it would be different if I setup a professional level studio in my house but it wasn't. :(
God tier: picture of dogHigh tier: sexy woman or cool dudeGreat tier: pretty landscapeGood tier: cool car, funny street scene, wildlifeOkay tier: building corner, macro, still lifeBad tier: street signs, tree branches, zoo animalsReally bad tier: cat picturesShit tier: oops all bokehInexcusable garbage tier: anything diversity, punk rock, etc flavoredKill yourself tier: anime dolls
>>4492720Somewhat based, but you forgot to put horse pictures into high tier. Farm animals can go in great tier also. I don't mind anime doll if taken on large format film with attention to lighting and composition, but a lot of them are way too goofy yeah. Also egg based still lifes get to go in good or great tier.
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.
>>4485559Yeah OP is claiming the lack of shadow detail is good because we normally wouldnt be able to see that much (in well lit scene) so it reflects realtiy in that we tend to ignore less obvious visual information.Anyway learn to read, you ESL Bangladeshi.
>>4485702This
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
>>4492073>>4492095thx, ordered + 80mm 2.8 AFWill have some fun and will post the results (if any good).
>>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.

I tried the "simulated red filter + boosted saturation" method again. The skies start banding like hell if you push them too hard though. 1/2
>>44925712/2
>>4491118Black and white is for when the colors of what you're photographing are ugly.
Shot on a Bessa R2M with the 35mm f/2 Ultron and a mix of Fuji 100, Provia 100, and Portra 400.Developed at various labs in Tokyo and Osaka, scanned by myself.
As usual, beautiful set. You are a consistent great photographer.My preference goes to the ones with people in it.>>4490843Does your film make everything red, or did you happen to be in luck ?>>4490844You can almost feel the delicate touch.>>4490850France mentioned.
>>4490852Nice composition, I love the impression of natural submersion over the signs of human activity. >>4490855This one is a time capsule from the nineties.>>4490867This one is perfect. The clothes, the colours, the composition.
>>4492362Meds.
>also be in Japan roughly the same time>pics mog all my soulless amateur stuffFUCK. beautiful pics btw
I went into this trip with Greg Girard's "JAL 76 88" in mind for inspiration, but I also discovered Fred Herzog's "Modern Color" before I left for my trip and must have subconsciously drawn inspiration from that more so than Girard. >>4492365Thank you anon, much appreciated!I think I got lucky with the lighting that particular day, and paired with Fuji Provia 100 made for some super saturated colours. >>4492366>This one is perfect. The clothes, the colours, the composition.I keep coming back to this photo more than any other one I've taken and really do think it might be my favorite. >>4492575There's no such thing as professional whatever the fuck this photography is called, I'm as much an amateur as you are anon. Feel free to post your Japan pics here, would love to see them.
This thread is dedicated to close-range photographic captures utilising macro-optical imaging configurations to achieve greater reproduction ratios. Got it? Good now upload some shit. Last thread: >>4376661
>image limit reachedShall we wait until spring to make a new thread? All my insect bros are gone, literally nothing to shoot :(
>>4485226Use a tripod and pray for a still bug / no wind. Let the AF motor do it for you. The rocking method is unreliable because there's little chance you can go perfectly forwards and backwards without any lateral movement whatsoever.>>4492505Could just get a thread going with some old photos, no harm in that really.
>>4492539Is macro defined as 1:1 or greater, or is it just images "in the spirit of" taking pictures of small things?
>>4492540Technically Macro is 1:1. In practice, anything involving "small" subjects and/or higher than normal magnification is macro photography. Better to think of it as a general idea than a clearly defined rule, and if anyone gets all high and mighty over you using a 0.4x lens or something then that just means they're a massive faggot.Back in the day when basically every lens was between 0.2x and 0.1x magnification, the only way to get proper macro photos was with a dedicated macro lens (or bellows). These days more and more everyday lenses feature higher reproduction ratios with 0.5x being fairly common and normally the point that companies will slap the Macro moniker on it. Hell, my 100-400mm lens has a 0.42x ratio without trying, and it would be more than enough for decent enough macro.
>>4492553Yeah that's how I feel about it also. I do a lot of 8x10 snapshitting type stuff around 1:1 and it always makes me chuckle a bit when I consider posting a picture with my entire hand in it or something in the macro general because technically it is 1:1.It's more fun to remain within the spirit of macro and post photographs of small things instead. :D
>Can’t stand my self
>>4492547
Are rangefinders just point-and-shoot snapshitters with slightly more adjustability? I'm entertaining the idea of a smaller film camera but looking at pics taken by them and what they offer they seem like a glorified p&s. Am I missing something here?
I am not skilled enough to justify spending over a grand on a Leica and I assume most people are the same if they're being honest with themselves.
>>4492351Leicas aren’t about skillThey’re about preserving traditional hobby photography instead of handing pros of ever decreasing aptitude cameras of ever increasing automation. Their high price is because everyone wants this but everyone in japan is too dumb and soulless to deliver it competently.
>>4492354I would imagine most Japanese companies see this as a niche market compared to where they make all their money: wedding and event photographers.
>>4492370You mean large agenciesFor example the AP buys sony bodies by the crate. They dont care if they break early, not like we care. They expect to break them early if they don’t break first. A failure rate is baked into the contract and sony makes a killing on service. They dont care about artism and ergos, colors and shit like photographers would because they shoot for the newspaperThese are the most profitable customers in the biz and they only really buy to keep the warranty current. Hence sony releases every camera twice.
I've seen a lot of people recommend the Canon QL17 and the Olympus 35SP. Are fixed lens rangefinder solid?
