Redpill me on screen vs viewfinder debate. Personally I find screen to be way more comfortable. Viewfinder is a total pain in the ass.
>>4498481>>4498479I use both cheap Chinese and Leica M lenses on my Leicas. I also use Japanese made lenses from two brands using the same factory. Come at me.
>>4501997If you can give 21 years younger yourself an advice, what would it be?
>>4497897I use the viewfinder when possible. It blocks out everything around me so I'm more focused on the shot. I'll use the viewfinder for awkward angles

>they still look so much like phone photos they induce the urge to wonder if they are AI generated or notKinda sad ngl. That we’re throwing away veracity and quality in photography for this plasticky CGI look. A ricoh GR would fit in a pocket and even with dust be a massive upgrade.

>>4508608>This is from a Bayer sensorThat just makes it even worse.>corner of four thirdsSo because you couldn't post good X-Trans you resort to shitty corners of micro four thirds?Hilarious.>which proves that the "issues" you see on the decently processed images on the right are in your imagination.Nope.That image quality was horrible. Notice how I just said that was awful and didn't claim there were worms.Sensor layout affects quality but the lens and rest matter too. If you post garbage it doesn't matter what sensor was used. Come back when you actually have what you consider to be a good candidate for high quality X-Trans.Also, there's a reason why any serious quality oriented systems either settle for bayer or pan/monochrome. There isn't a single valid use case for X-Trans in any high budget situation. You will never convince museums or archivists that x-trans is anything but inferior Not even Fuji themselves consider it worthy for use on their fancy cameras.You are arguing against reality.
>have OM-1>also have pentax, before I bought the OM-1 bought a lens for the Pentax from camera store, after buying the OM-1 I said fuck it and exchanged that lens for a 12-45mm F4>now bought the 12-100mm F4 because it was on specialI basically have no need for the 12-45mm now. I was thinking I'd keep it because it's smaller but now that I have the 12-100mm it really isn't that big, as I was expecting. So at this point I think I'll sell it, is it worth finding a second hand 12-40 F2.8 for lower light stuff or should I just keep the money?

>>4508720Haha, even cherry picking the meme spot in this scene you x-troons still get completely BTFO.Z6 III is the same megapixels and completely your resolves the X-H1 everywhere.GFX 100 downsampled leads to a much sharper image, with almost no moire.D850 is a meme here because it's perfectly positioned to be in the moire zone.High budget users would have access to better or more suitable equipment. For STARTERS they would fill the frame with the subject when possible or find a sweet spot specifically for avoiding moire (could be moving it slightly) or swap cameras entirely.
>>4508760With its more organic photosite layout which reduces interference patterns, it's easy to see why X-Trans is the choice of discerning archivists.
Psyops used to be believable. How did they go from Apollo 11 to this? This couldn't fool even the ones who fell for WTC7. Even Soviet airbrushing was more believable. How did they reach this level of embarrassment? There's an obvious equivalence between what Jeets post to social media and this. Must be some H1B in charge of making the posts. It's not just the dishonesty but the laziness or incompetence (or both) that goes with it. Disgusting.

>>44321141. Lame but formally doing what you should for a portrait of an elected official2. Too diffused, looks like sludge3. Objectively the best-lit but too editorial4. Same problem but even worse
>>4504423>Objectively the best-litBecause they lit his ears and the hair light blasts through his whole comb over so that you can count every last strand left of it? Your 'objectively' reads 'arguably'
>>4503572I agree with every word of this post.
how many takes do you think it took to capture most of these?

I didn't know it was possible to stack so many. Is this the power of OM System? They must have all been taken in very quick succession.
>>4507860I used a focus stacking PC program so any camera can do it, but MFT depth of field is especially good for macro

What makes Japan such an desired place for photography? I'm really trying to understand the hype around it. When I visited of course the size of Tokyo itself opens lots of opportunities but I quickly notice that it gets repetitive rather fast. All muh taxis look the same, the buildings have a pattern that repeats a lot. If you've seen a few shrines/temples.. in the end they all look the same. Even if you visit other prefectures you won't see much of a difference. Whenever I see camera vlogs or flickr uploads in Japan I now tend to skip because it's always the same. My current number one location would probably be Germany. Still safe enough to bring your camera with you, every state has it's own architectural style. Towns are usually a comfy mix between old medieval houses in the center with grim 60s bauhaus constructions that look really odd. Also home of Leica where this sort of everyday compact photography started. What do you think? What's your prefered location?
>>4507747makes sense to me, it's not like if you don't like taking pictures you'll magically enjoy it just because you're in Japan
I sure do enjoy being there though
IG photographers posting photos of;> Japan> Swim ladders> San Francisco in general> Golden gate bridge> Civic center> Roy’s gas station> Black men, especially with 1990’s sunglasses and dreads> Women posing with their arms above their heads while leaning against a wall> That fucking roadside café in SwitzerlandGets a block from me. Sorry. Thank god I live in such a boring country that is non existant within photography, makes the images more unique and rewarding.

I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?

>>4507318This thread is literally an ad. If you’re ever confused by the lies on /p/ (ie: nikon autofocus is good but a nikon, sony is bad buy this phone its the future, stop using film) and weird pushes to get people onto specific apps and websites, remember companies pay other companies who pay thirdies and use AI to post on 4chan.
looks like nobody here has this phone. my girlfriend has. It's absolutely fucking worst. All its photos come out oversharpened and with TOO MUCH detail. Faces look like wrinkled mess with it. I haven't played enough with it yet, but got very bad first impressions

Nikon is okay.

A greater roadrunner pair were mating in my driveway and I didn't have a memory card in my camera. Forgot to put it back after exporting last time. By the time I got it, they were done.
How do i into bird/reptile/aquatics ?Like what’s a good starter kit
>>4507097Sony, big expensive lens, and then start an insta account and take bokeh shots of the same animals in your immediate area over and over and make sure to get that good shot of you holding the big lens.
>>4501111>using the old fim camera inherited from grandpaeven though the picture is nothing special I'd still say it's based, good for you
Im gonna be visiting an orthodox church and i want to capure pictures with prominent earthy tones, super saturated reds, yellows and gold. Wouldnt mind if it has some balanced blue tones too.I think the place will be ok lit, but it wont get much sunlight i think. What filmstock do you guys suggest?Ektar 100 and kodak color pluss are the only ones i can think of. Which one is superior in this case?
>>4507263>its a place of worship! it would be much too disrespectful of me.I just use a tripod when I take photos in my church(es)either way something you'll have to be careful of is white balanceI don't know of any church that's lit with high-CRI white lighting, at best you're going to get something like tungsten (picrel)
>>4507353… or whatever this is, that p800 reacted very poorly to (the lighting looks closer to tungsten irl)
Kodacolor 200, tripod, f/8, 1 second shutter.
>>4507354>>4507353Piss yellow-green is the color of cheap domestic LED bulbs. Our eyes are more easily fooled by the peaky spectrum than a camera sensor is. These bulbs have shit color reproduction and will fuck up some cameras so hard that neutral white balance isn’t even possible.
>>4507465>Piss yellow-greenI generally don't color-correct but tried it out here and that's what it turned out to be yeahhaven't had a problem with my digital camera that I've noticed, but I've taken less digital photos in churches
It would be used exlusively for taking pictures of products. I was thinking of just using my Samsung S23 since I'm kinda poor but then realized that's retarded since presentation is literally everything.Budget is around $1,000 max, prefer around $700 or lower.Insights appreciated.

>>4499913unironically a sigma foveonBayer filters cause moire
>>4506945do pixel binning for web presentation and moire gone
>>4506945They cause color moire, but low resolution itself is still the direct cause of it in general. Foveon isn't immune to moire in greyscale patterns and fabrics are common sources of that.The only appropriate camera for photographing clothes is 3D rendering software.The second best approach is a Fujifilm 100MP with 400MP pixel shift mode in a studio.Next best is maybe a Phase one.Other than that, a SNOY or Nikon with pixel shift.Then there's Foveon.Then there's low res/normal bayer shit with an effective OLPF but soft.Then there's low res/normal bayer shit without OLPF and copium as you edit away the problems.Then there's giving up and shooting at f/32 trying to soften the images and still relying on editing out the leftovers.Best case scenario is literally shooting film.
>>4499913how do you even end up in this situation? like you told a client you'd do product photo knowing full well that you don't have a camera, let alone knowledge on how to use one?
