I just found a vintage camera museum page and thought maybe someone here might be interested in ithttps://licm.org.uk/livingImage/1930Room.html
>>4492511Cool. Another really fun one is to look up the old 1800-early 1900s newspaper photography ad archives. Tons and tons of really neat old photography ads for film, printing seevices, lenses, etc.
Seems like a good site for old camera enthusiasts
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?
>>4492377I rented a hasselblad x2d a week or so ago. Truthfully after editing they looked pretty much exactly the same as Fuji ones. I would go with hassy if I needed high speed flash but otherwise I don't really see a reason. Plus I could only use the electronic shutter of I was adapting anything.
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
Got a Fuji X-E5 kit for Christmas. Sharing the first pics SOOC. Not the best photographer, but I can tell I’m going to love using it. Plus it’s my first camera that’s truly mine, so how could I not love it?
>>4491989Wow that's pretty good lol. Definitely a /p/ approved camera.
Took a trip to The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis. Was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful everything was. Not that I was expecting it to be bad or anything. Just liked it way more than I thought I would.
>>4492387The girl in the middle is probably my favorite out of all the exhibits. She’s so full of life and hope.
>>4492388Obsessed with the teeeeny tiny hand painted matryoshka. The bigger ones are cool and all but she’s so detailed.
>>4492389Also, here’s the film recipe if anyone wants it. I forgot what it’s called but it’s very versatile.
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

>>4492229Only the top two canon mirrorless has AI NR and only the top tier sony bodies have any chance of adding itMost just lack the hardware to run anything resembling ML. Mfgs have not even updated the batteries originally meant for more efficient DSLRs.
>>4492219Show us the AI generating a coherent 14 bit raw file. No crazy histogram per rawdigger. Expected shadow and highlight recovery per the model. Realistic metadata (which is a lot more than exposure). Correct non image info like masked pixels and sensor state data. I’ll waitFilm is fun but it needs to be more advanced to btfo digital veracity. For film veracity it has to generate a coherent 8 bit, 24-36mp image. Maybe less because film is a medium and the writing process could go through an authentic film camera lens
>>4492247You're really trying to pretend those are real pictures in the guy's gallery, huh
>>4492250I never said a word about the guys gallery its obvious slopThe topic is the principles behind the film and historical public portfolio autism
>>4488224Pretty bizarre. 12 years ago that profile belonged to some boomer with a camera. His photos were mostly pretty shit but they were actually photos.
Spent two hours at the local book market today. Reached the place a little while before sunset, pushed through my anxiety and tried my hand at taking some photographs.Feel free to post any pictures you /p/ros took at any book fair or local market in your area.
If a woman book lover turned up would all the guys rape her?

Can we agree that almost any modern digital camera takes "good" photos (with the obvious exception of Micro 4/3)?
>>4492269Exactly. Film still has a major upper hand in everything that really matters. Anything above 6x7 in great lighting absolutely destroys even the most expensive digital cameras.
>>4492260>it looks the same but everyone uses ff and fine art is still mostly filmits not a conspiracy or mass idiocy, this guy is literally ken rockwell so he makes every camera look as bad as his first dslra camera can not improve a photographer but a photographer can easily turn a $60,000 hasselblad into a $60 nikon d200
>>4492256Camera is just a tool. A good tool gives utility which a shitty tool does not have.It's the camera user who takes the good and bad photographs. One who can not take a good photo of a slow or static subject in good light with a shitty camera likely can not do it with a good camera.(A holiday snap from 2002)
>>4492282Oops, wrong snap.
>>4492274I'm fine with our main points being in agreeance, but is "everything that really matters" only like 0.5% of photographs taken after we exclude phone pics (which reduces that to like 0.005%)? Idk man, I've seen plenty of studio-tier and natgeo-tier stuff that's been taken with Cannikons and look great.One day I'll do some 6x7 stuff but honestly fuck me it feels like the pricing on those cameras is scuffed lately.
literally unmogged even to this day
>>4491732The Z7 was a D850 with quirky focus, other than that the first gen was okay if you shot them as enthusiasts
>>4491651My D750 still feels great, thank you very much
>>4491626>12MPlollmao even
>what is the d800
>>4491649Same, Bro. I half-filled my freezer with Portra last year.
no open gate editionPreviously: >>4487054
>>4492294Yeah, I can't quite pin it down, but I feel the same way. Photos just look better on FF somehow. I'm certain that you can edit both in LR for specific shots and I won't be able to tell them apart, but the JPEGs my camera spits out look so much better when using FF.
>>4492297I'm sure somebody will just say it's because I'm a shitty photographer, which wouldn't be totally untrue, but to me it was like the aps-c REALLY needed totally ideal lighting to look good, where the full frame sensor is more forgiving. It's like the threshold for the quality of a "normal" image is a lot higher, so even stuff in non ideal lighting looks better from the get go.I don't know how to describe it, but I could just instantly tell I preferred full frame.That being said, I loved the size of the x100vi and the different configurations you could set it up as with the conversion lenses and external flash etc. both for photo and video. It was insanely handy, it just wasn't right for me.
>>4492302I know exactly what you mean, but for me it was the inverse path to yours.I started on APS-C as my first ILC and used it happily for, I kid you not, close to ten years. My dad has been running FF with an MF prime that whole time and every time I would look at his photos, I could see that the images would just come out differently. Eventually, I ended up buying a FF camera last summer and my images they have that same something that my dad's did, even though I'm running a superzoom.Hard not to be excited about FF with compact bodies like A7C2 and Zf.
>>4492240>DSLRs are the opiate of the massesLmao we're posting cringe in /p/ now? New low for this board
>>4492390DLSRs == Christianity is a pretty great self-own tho.
I got this 80s lens cheap but it has this weird shit on inner lens, IPA doesn't do shit. What is this shit and how do I remove it?ITT: glass has cancer.
>>4491045That's some good info, thanks m8.
>>4491047That's all good. Oh and when I said sky, I mean just blue sky with no clouds. This is because it's really bright and really uniform and makes any inconsistencies stand out.
look up the lens elements structure , I am guessing this is most likely degraded cement that keeps duplet elements glued together but due to age its decomposing and so both element are slowly separatingand theres this inner crust, if you feel adventorus disassemble it just this back section and separate both elements carefully then clean up the cement with nail paint removerhttps://www.truelens.co.uk/separating-and-re-cementing-elements
Hard to tell if it is hazing or balsam separation.

This thread makes me irrationally uncomfortable. Like I need to scold somebody.
We rate them on the couch together, looking at them on the TV, then I delete the bad ones from our Linux server before sending a big archive to cloud.We do this process once a year, around new year's.If anyone is interested, I'll link the github. What other tools would you suggest that have a high WAF "Wife acceptance factor" for this process?
>>4489605Slave morality, imagine taking photos for the approval of others. You're so henpecked it hurts lol
>>4489605Interesting you make this post just as I began using FastStone as my image viewer. I edit in RawTherapee but it is so bad for quickly viewing photos and culling. It’s way too slow. FastStone, on the other hand, gives me a full-screen view with click to zoom and I can press a button to tag the photos I want to keep then sort out the untagged photos into a trash folder. It’s so much better than RawTherapee.
>>4489609And interesting you say that, because our previous app was faststone. I just wanted a more couch friendly / dumbed down UX.

1/?This is the review of an OM-5 micro 4/3 camera. I am a full frame user, and I bought this camera to have a small, fun, attractive camera to take snapshits around town. I own or have owned a D850, Z5ii, Z6ii, basically every Nikon DXXX DSLR, D500, Z50, etc. This is my first M43 camera and I was not sure what to expect, so I am chronicling my impressions both for myself, and for other photographers who are looking for a small, fun camera. Ergonomics: This camera is outstanding IMO. For me the Nikon FF cameras are in this weird middle spot that is ergonomically uncomfortable for me. They are either too small or too big. The D850 and my D7500 fit my hand fantastically. I will always have a Nikon DSLR because they are so comfortable to hold and use. The OM-5 is smaller to hold than my Z5ii for example, and that gets it out of the uncomfortable middle ground. With the Z5, I’m always between holding it in front with all of my fingers, or just 3 – there isn’t really enough room for all 4, but with 3, it feels a little insecure. With the OM-5, three fingers fit perfectly. There is enough grip on the front and a great thumb rest on the back. The buttons are very well placed on the camera body for operation while shooting. Simply put, this is a very comfortable camera to hold and shoot. For reference, when I am walking around and shooting, I grip the camera the entire time in my right hand, and have a wrist lanyard for safety. This can be fatiguing with a larger DSLR (the D800 in particular had almost no thumb rest and it was agonizing to carry. The D850 is much better, but is just heavy and gets tiring on the wrist after several hours). The D7500 is extremely comfortable in this regard because of its blobmera shape and light weight. The Z series FF cameras are in the middle ground of just “ok”. The OM-5 was very good.TO BE CONTINUED
