I’m thinking of getting a shift lens but I understand a view camera can make the same movements, and tilt-shift lenses are also available for most ILCs. Have any of you used a shift lens, tilt-shift lens or a view camera? What did you use it for? What was it like using one? Frustrating? Simple? Did you need any other accessories to make the process work? How did you like the final results? Was it worth the expense and effort? Is digital perspective correction just as effective?Now that I’ve really begun to focus on perspective in my images it’s all too obvious how even a small tilt of the image plane away from parallel with the subject causes distortion. Do you care about keystoning in your pictures? >picrelThe shift scale on the Laowa 20mm f/4 Shift.
>>4510605Make and model? Film or digital back? How is it? Any issues or only praise?
>>4510607Sinar P. Film. It's the best and I have no complaints about its operation. It's just extremely bulky and heavy.This camera >>4510352 is either a sinar p2 or a sinar X with an aftermarket adapted bellows. The entire system can be easily adapted to shoot basically any digital camera.
>>4510607Oh yeah and you can get the camera for under a grand. The sinar X is like 350 bucks.
>>4510346why? just tilt the camera. tilt the tripod.use a shadowbox
>>4510346cool topic op
Do you have a favourite camera? If so, what is it? Why is it your favourite? I want to hear!I'll start, I think for me it's a Nikon FM. I like it because it's always worked for me, I know how to fix it when something goes wrong, it's well made and it has a CdS meter. Lenses are easy to find, as are batteries. I got it for very cheap and it was already quite banged up so I never feel I have to be overly careful with it, which makes it an easy choice to bring with me.>pic semi-related, my third favourite camera
>>4510463Funnily enough my only Zenit which broke was my 12S (the mounts for the strap are really weak, be careful putting any weight on them). I've heard earlier ones are better, I mean Che got caught with a Zenit 3M so I guess if it was good enough for guerilla warfare in South America it's good enough for me.They're endearing bricks.
Canon 5D Classic, the white mans camera.
>>4511294A great choice. This was my first 35mm format digital camera and I still own it. It's a lovely and unique camera, from a time where it wasn't necessarily a given that everyone purchasing one would know how to edit photos. As such it produces RAWs that are pretty much ready to use. The colours are lovely too. Handles reds in a way that people coming from film were refreshed by.
>>4508801My favorite camera is my first camera, the Canon FTb that my Grandfather gave me. I rarely use it now, but every time I pick it up and focus that smooth FD prime through that microprism, and line up that little ring with the light meter needle, I feel happy. And that's the whole point of a hobby, to make you happy. Pic related, looks just like my FTb but isn't mine.
I like my Konica C35 Automatic the best out of my cameras. Everything about it just says yup that's camera. It's pretty, the thumbwinder feels nice, there's a magical hot shoe, the rangefinder works although it could be larger and brighter. The size and weight are just perfect, it's pocketable. It cost me like 15 eurobucks because the light meter was broken but I fixed it myself by just fiddling with the battery contacts.I'm currently going through my first roll of film with Olympus XA2, if the pictures come out nice then it's probably a contender too.
Show me your shitty artsy bullshit, bring out your Holgas, bring out your LensBabys, bring out your bullshit where your focus is ass and your framing is tainted
>>4509754Truly tones you can't achieve on 35mm.
>>4510046Nice shot
Stomped on a fuzzy snap of lichen on a dead spruce until it stopped squirming.

>>4507583Isn't it obvious?no more Shut in.
>>4507583Photography is a dead hobby. Everyone has a shitty phone camera with them everywhere they go and has a camera roll filled with 15,000 snapshits. Even I fall prey to leaving my camera at home sometimes and just using my phone even though technically it's dogshit and just compensates in post by doing faux-HDR and decent color processing.>>4509483>superior afPhone af sucks dick for anything but taking pictures of people, it uses the huge DOF phones have as a crutch.
Since I'm unlikely to ever get any kind of Xpan camera, I thought it might be interesting to post some wide crops from two cheap digicams and a phone (Fuijfilm J20, JX500 and Nokia Lumia 520) taken over the last few years. The JX500 has a scratched lens but nice colours and I think it does OK.Some of these I've posted before, some I haven't.

Failed to read instructions.
This thread is driving me nuts. I can't get the tool to work. Possibly a Linux issue.
I have some photos taken under tree shade with spots of light that I took with the intention of editing in the style of Monet's soft, cool shade-light contrast but I'm having a hard time nailing the post, any pointers?

>>4511532that dude in the center background scares me. Looks like he has his hand behind his back like he's about to cap yo ass.Cool photos though. thanks for sharing. I hear Vietnam today is an expat paradise. they didn't carry the anger into the 21st century
Color doesn't matter. Today when you can adjust colors just by pressing a button there's nothing more fake than a color. You should only shot B&W. Black and White photography is real and pure. Shape, shadow and light - this is what makes your photography look special, not some bright oversaturation. If your picture looks good without colors then your picture is worthy
>>4511055Do you also avoid certain lighting scenarios for similar reasons?
>>4511056I wouldn't say that. I do like some challenge, but I'm not going for the extreme or anything of that sort
I'm a b&w enjoyer these days. I hope it's not just a phase. I'm thinking of trading in my Leica Q2 for the Q2 Monochrom. The normal Q2 is really bad in low light, the noise is pretty bad. Also the white balance is always off. With the mono I could easily shoot in dark places without worrying about noise at all. Sh..should I?I also have another camera system in case I need some color.
>>4511538I like my M10-M a lot, don't plan on ever selling.Great high ISO performance of course, but the pixel peeping is unreal. Looks better than the Foveon and GFX I've used at a pixel level.Can also take inspo from the Gorsky thread and make some trichromes
>>4502479Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and yours stinks as much as everyone else's.
every single time
>>4508510There's already a term for this in the used car market - they call it the culture of "I know what I have"
>>4508900>"anon did not in fact, know what he had"
>>4508900I remember seeing an ad for an absolutely rusted out old "rare" beetle sitting in a field where the seller who had inherited it claimed that their grandad or whoever had been offered a specific sum some 2 and half decade ago, with pictures of the car from back then etc, and they "did not want sell below that". Problem is that back then it may have been worth some money as it was somewhat complete, but sitting outside for decades even with price appreciation as these things have become more popular it was still way more than what it was worth in the condition it was in. Guess that sort of thing goes in the family. It is a shame with all these folks sitting on perfectly fixable stuff that they think they can do themselves, but in reality can't only for the thing to sit and rot until they die of old age.
>>4507713i like this fellas videos about camera e-waste but that half laugh he does in the middle of random sentences that aren't funny is kinda grating once you notice it

Just out of curiosity
>>4501837I actually picked up a cardboard one for 4 euros, cleaned the lenses and glued the mirrors back in place. Fun to use but the cardboard was bending inwards making it near impossible to open and it wasn't very happy with the 120 film spool either.I still need to develop the film but I got a better box camera for 10 euros in the meantime, one that actually works well with 120 film, a Zeiss Ikon one.Will probably get some developer tomorrow and get those negatives ready.
>>4504195With Brownies and other really low end 6x9cm 120 cameras think contact prints (or perhaps a phone screen). A 32" desktop screen does not give justice to the photos.
the funsaver is legit the best disposable but the fuji one is a close 2nd.both cost too much though.
>>4501837i feel like im bein molested just looking at this statue
>>4501602HP5+, no contest. Very easy to reuse, and it has flash. The lens isn't 28mm which is another big point it scores. Great pocket camera too if you have to go somewhere you could drop one in a tragic boating accident along with your weapons so you don't want to bring your fancy DSLR. Worthy mention to the Kodak Water & Sport. No flash but going underwater narrows your angle of view, effectively lengthening your focal length.
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

>>4511216Is it? It might be meaningful to a couple of people who like drinking with Aunt Sally, but it isn't meaningful to "the masses" as a whole. Probably less so than artful pictures of shopping carts turned upside down. Both can be art, both can be content. Context and execution are both important for discussion here.
>>4511215>>4511217Are you a physicist or some kind of communist, talking about masses all the time? Do you belong to the masses or somewhere else?>separate the photography for the creation of art vs. that's used for the creation of contentPost your most artful photo.>(maybe content isn't the best term, but it's clear enough.)No it's not please clarify. Honestly confused here.>It might be meaningful to a couple of people who like drinking with Aunt Sally, ...In my book that's sufficient.
>>4511240>Are you a physicist or some kind of communistThe thread is "Do the masses even care about Photography anymore?" I'm just staying on topic and trying to clarify my point that the masses don't love photography as art more than ever, they love photography as content. It's a much cheaper kind of love. I'm conservative, btw. Distributist.>Post your most artful photoIt's difficult to qualify photos on one dimension of artfulness. Here's one I like from last year, anyway.>content vs. artI'm not going to sit here and pretend to be able to give a definition for art that will satisfy the room, but it is worthwhile to examine the differences between art and content. The intent and creator's perspective matters with the creation of art. It does not matter for the creation of content, which would have the same meaning regardless of who and how it was made.My favorite youtube channel has a nice short breakdown on the subject.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-FXiBLG8Js
>>4511248Not to get hung up on semantics, but consider that a self portrait is meant to capture and express some aspect of the artist, i.e. art. A selfie is more concerned with the what or where the photographer is, i.e. content. Again there exists a spectrum between the two. An upside down cart may not be to your taste, but it's probably more artful or aesthetically pleasing than most selfies.
