Post your man bags
>>4461477>big bagGrocery bag?
>>4461478Nah its just like a big rigid lowepro camera bag, I think its supposed to go over your shoulder but it doesn't have a strap on it and I never put one on as it just sits in the car.
Ill contribute, I took this on my trip to Montreal just now. The bag fit a K1ii, Grip, 35-70mm f3.5-4.5, 80-320mm Telelens, and 50mm Macro f2.8Most of my pics were with the 50mm Macro. I honestly could've just packed a 50mm f1.4 or a 28-75mm f2.8 zoom (my next purchases) and left everything else. I did take a few shots with the telelens but it was either in my gfs purse or my hoodie pocket most of the time.This OEM Pentax bag is my favorite. It's pretty square with a nice little flip top and the olive/brown looks great. Before I had my KF in it. I bought it off Mercari on buyee for $20, it was some nips new old stock and had the tags on it (9000 yen MSRP) it has to be at least 15 years old because I can't find too much info about it.
I put my camera in a maxpedition bag from their AGR line they came out with in 2017 and discontinued because it underperformed. They are actually really well put together besides the fact that the seatbelt strap can fray just like a real onefor me this bag hits the sweet spot of having "cool" details but also being completely nondescript and unassuming
No clue what this bag is but I love it. I paid 6 dollars on Ebay for and it's padded pretty well and has plenty of room. This has been my carry lately, Nikon ZF with the Nikkor 50 f2, 7Artisans 35mm f1.4, and Canon FL 135 f2.5.
So is everyone using Lightroom or what? I already have Affinity 2 and would like something with a permanent license for library as well.
>>4462455I use Darktable, but I'm really just an amateur...
DxO PhotoLab 9 dropped yesterday. Adobe well and truly BTFO by DxO and Capture One.https://www.dpreview.com/news/9595323730/dxo-s-photolab-9-promises-actually-useful-ai-featureshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=255qbzYqsAE
>>4465110Does it still have awful color science? When I was trying out Photolab, it would always gravitate towards the same acid colors - like the edited image in this forum post https://forum.dxo.com/t/highlight-shadow-recovery/16326
>>4465110TL;DR and how good are pirate versions of DxO or capture one, if they exist?Been free loading on corporate Adobe CC the past years lol
Capture 1 gives me way better performance, LR has been degrading like crazy in the last few years. After 10 years of using it, i made the switch. Now editing photos is finally not torture. It's too bad, because overall I've been used to LR so much that switching is like switching OS at this point. And I hate switching OS. And I like the ergonomics of LR better, though in C1 I can do everything I could in LR, so at least it's a very good equivalent.Only issue is the C1 startup time is very slow for some reason, but it's smooth sailing once it's opened.Also, C1 users, do you go with sessions or catalogs? So far I've been using sessions, but now that I'm used to C1 and committed to keep using it, I intend to use the feature letting me import my LR catalog in it. As such, I assume this import feature means I'll keep using a catalog.Is it a good idea or not?
took a jumpship cruise a few months ago, went planetside in adaven to visit sal sagev. gonna dump some images. you may need to adjust your VCI since there were two stars, not to mention the radiation. pretty standard 3 "day" excursion, I won't bore you with too many things you've seen before hopefully.
>>4464121>>4464113>>4464095were these taken on film?

>>4464991i had a feeling. I recently gotten into film and those popped into my radar shot my first roll of Fuji 400 this past weekendThese films look great, thank you for posting. I wanna try out jazzy blues by ultrafine
This is mega nerd shit lol, I love it though. Good job OP, very creative, nice use of novelty film.
>>4464095Best thread in weeks here.
Is digitally manipulating a photo a valid form of artistic expression? How does it differ in post production from other types of manipulation?
>>4465067Of course it is. In many ways it can be more artistic than pure photography.
>>4465067Holy kino. Whatever works, works. Art is total freedom. Do whatever you want. Post moar
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
>>4464971Which by the way has minimum focusing distance of almost 3 meters.You are basically a world away from your subject, and still get some nice details.
>>4464972As for RF 100, well, here's a pic with it.The subject is much smaller than a bumblebee, or even a drone fly, so I probably wouldn't be able to take it with either 55-250 or 150-600, but the shot itself is rather mediocre.And it took (comparatively) a lot of effort to make.Had to get really close to the subject, to the point when a slight sudden movement from me could cause the plant to shake and little dude to fall off the leaf.
What about watches? do any of you do watch photography? it's difficult.
>>4464966>>4464970>>4464971>>4464972>>4464983I ended up buying a Tamron 18-200 lens because it was dirt cheap, which so far I'm not super happy with but I haven't used it too much so too early to say, and a Pentax 55-300 which I bought for taking photos of birds and stuff but I may aswell try it out for macro photos aswell.There's a handful of Pentax 100mm AF Macro lens for around $200 AUD from Japan, and a few manual focus ones for cheaper so I might just get a proper one if I'm not gonna be happy with what I've got
>>4464983The 100mm macros are only worth it if you're trying to take photos a 0.5x mag lens can't do. My 100-400 can get 0.42x @ 200mm but it's kind of unimpressive for total IQ versus the 100mm I own. Kind of depends on your subject size.>>4465003I channeled my inner Ken when I bought my first nice watch and it was surprisingly annoying to get a shot I enjoyed. Even with off-camera flash I felt like I either had far too much diffraction or the light was too harsh.>pic rel EF 100mm Macro IS USM @ MFD @ f/8 with a tripod
Please post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.old thread: >>4460704I just copied and pasted the old OP because no one would bake a new breadThread Question: To what extent do you digitally edit your film scans?
>>4464858Don't talk to me or my son ever again
>>4464845Why u make nu?
>>4464914Oh wow it hit image limit. Good job fgt.
>>4464916Thank you ngr
>>4464845>Thread Question: To what extent do you digitally edit your film scans?As little as possible
What are your setups? Which products can you recommend? And wtf are the bastards from negative supply snorting to justify their pricing?speaking of: Does anyone have the STLs from tonecarrier? I am a poor bastard and want to try them out. other than that, I had no luck with the free printables you find on thingyverse etc.
>>4464841I use an DSLR with some bamboo scanning light thing, with some jigs for 35 and 120 film. The lens im using is a 150mm macro, then I just connect the camera up to my pc so I can make sure the exposures and focus is exactly correct. I also have a m43 with 50mp pixel shift that I kinda wanna try with it too, but I feel like you get really good microdetail on full frame.
>>4465020Thats bretty good man. the full pic has enough to print probably
>>4465041Yeah i'd say so, i flipped it with nlp. compared to the setup I was using earlier it cut down on the vignette massively.
this is my setup but nikon 60mm micro adapted instead of gf lens
>>4465079Since you've got it right next to your PC, you should try just plugging it straight in there. You can check the focus on a march larger screen and check your inverter workflow to make sure your exposures are getting the most detail. Personally I was trying to do ETTR with mine and I found that that cameras metering were actually a lot better.
Got this for $50, near mint for $20 with all attachments. Any idea how to use a cameras ith it and what camera to get?
OP here. So basically for terrestrial usage i need to educate myself then then get a IR capable DLSR with a T-mount yes?It doesn't have to be great, it just has to work well enough.
>>4464876don't blow your wad on an IR DSLR for wildlife ID. they make much cheaper IR "night vision" video cameras and monoculars for that.IR DSLRs are for artistic/forensics/scientific/astronomy use.night vision digiscoping has 0% in common with photography
>>4464912I'm aware a IR DSLR is probably overkill but they don't seem to cost much for basic versions, it would be nice for it to be able to be used for basic astronomy and also i can be sure to be able to get a T mount for it.
>>4464929>>4464912As an addendum while the primary goal is wildlife ID if we pull this off the kid will almost certainly be in the news so decent quality is a big plus.
The pictures will be taken across Spencer lake in January or early February, i don't think thermal distortion will be a problem across a perfectly flat 5 mile wide 8-10 foot thick sheet of ice at zero to -20 degrees.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Lake
Picrel is not mine, but a Pentax SMC-M 35mm F1.4 that nobody has ever been able to document in the wild, but one forum posts alludes to someone holding one at one point and packaging being sold on ebay 2 decades ago. My rarest lens is probably the Fuji EBC-W Fujinon-W 35mm f1.9, nothing spectacular in terms of value, but hard to find.
>>4461085hey I have the 1:1.2 somewhere slowly molding
>>4464139Probably one of the best vintage 50mm f1.2s.
>>4439378I have almost the full collection of Pentax67 lenses, and I have a huge set of extension tubes for macro. Seems like a nightmare to use and my medium format results usually fall short of my expectations. I may want to offload everything as a lot but it was a grail camera for me in the past and I’ll never obtain that collection again, so feels like a shame. But for some reason my medium format shots suck balls but maybe it’s because the Pentax67 lightmeter sucks balls. Im also getting lightleaks though. REE

Drunk ordered one of these last night. Got fomo seeing everyone falling back in love with photography, using the optical viewfinder and onboard flash. Did I fuck up?
>>4460982welcome to the club. always make sure to tell everyone how you shot the photo with a "fuji" whenever sharing. Always. People will find it annoying but don't worry, the world needs to know that you shot with a fuji.
>>4462258>end up with 4 lenses in my bag>keep switching themAnon, this is normal. I have a 24mm, a 50mm and a 85mm on me at all times, and I decide which one to swap to based on the comp I want. It doesn't make you think less about composition, it makes you think more about it lol
I drunk purchased it too what am I in for?
>>4465036> Fuji users are alcoholics.Who knew.
>>4460982Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Oh my god you people are so annoyingI

>>4465007Literally shut up about old 5Ds. You’re the only person on earth obsessed with this camera. It doesn’t apply to anyone else and is not good advice ever. The 5Dmk4 is barely good enough for 2025 and is only a few hundred bucks. Everything older isn’t a good recommendation anymore.
>>4465101>>4465160I’m unfamiliar with Sony ecosystem but F2.8 on a modern apsc should have decent lowlight performance. Could you imagine becoming more tolerant of iso noise or motion blur? Both iso noise and motion blur can be artistic choices. Otherwise maybe borrow a FF camera or F1.4 lens before buying. Just to try it out.
>>4465140a7c is smaller and lighter so no. >>4465166It's okayish but depending on the situation AI noise reduction is mandatory. Maybe renting FF is what I should do.
I have been wondering why everything has looked like shit with new lenses only to find that somehow the thing went into 5.9 mega pixel mode instead of being full 24 a few weeks ago.
https://files.catbox.moe/zknpi8.JPGhttps://files.catbox.moe/h3p1zy.JPGIs this what you can expect of 70-200 F4 L at F8? I don't know if this looks sharp, or if it looks like shit or if it's the lenses or if it's the camera or if it's me or if I am zooming too far.I am looking on a 4k tv that's over 40 inches, I turned as many settings off but I still don't know.I am probably just zooming in too much.
