It seems stores here cleared out all their ef-m stuff and I thought there would be a massive sale or something but nothing happened Where do I find good second hand deals for them? Thought of getting 55-200mm since I got 22, 32 and 56mm and kitlens.

>>4389913
Check if anybody is selling the bundle that has both lenses. Some may sell it for the going rate of the one with just the kit lens.

>>4390044

Dubs of truth.

>>4390006
photography appeals to men with autistic, OCD, and schizoid tendencies and they tend to have higher IQ
The sophistication of the equipment and its significant impact on the result further narrows serious photography down to more intelligent than average men and autistic lesbo women

This does not apply to normoid parents taking kid pics or dumb trendsters who mutter something about pixel peeping wedding cameras when you point out they missed focus while pretending to be a hip street photographer for instagram

I haven't met many people irl that are into photography but the few I have haven't been all that knowledgeable on the technical aspects of photography. Nor have their photos been that good technically, they just put in the effort to go to the good places and get good subjects and then process their photos in a popular style (I won't say good because that's very subjective). Compositionally some of them suck too, they don't put much thought into the photo and just snap away and rely on the processing.

>>4390006
taking stills is the most basic and straightforward thing you can expect from a camera. The most complex way to capture stills is by using an analog camera with a manual focus lens (helped by a light meter, of course). you don't need to memorize exposure numbers. only a retard will do that.
videography is the real deal. I mean real videography. using rigs that cost millions. and not those cheap steel plates with holes that youtubers slap onto their snoy alpha or FX3 cameras.
It takes skill and muscles just to get a good shot. years of practice can turn you into a gigachad with the brain of James Cameron.

Grading doctrines, right now the american way of grading as gray and dull as possible, so that high-contrast cellphone screens can show it decently, has been a dull trend that has taken us way too much time to get over it.
Back in the 60's it was different than the 50's despite using the same stocks at times.

Looks cool, I like the shot, I just dont like a corny 90s family photo backdrop behind him, or the frame around it. Also might be a touch cold on the temp but hey maybe the photographer likes it that way.

>>4389247
It's actually just wider than standard, with the crop factor it's a 36-432mm. I owned a Powershot S3 back in the day (same lens) and the idea of a 400mm 3.5 is neat but it was just not wide enough a lot of the time and at the opposite end image quality was just okay, even at the time, albeit with those great older Canon colors. Mostly I remember it because the large jpegs were 2112 pixels tall and I like Rush.

Go outside and take some portraits at base ISO, full zoom, and f/3.5. Enjoy your boooookeh.
These old superzooms can do some good work. Shooting at near full zoom makes for interesting images that you don't usually get from other cameras. (far perspective, flattened subjects, good subject/background separation, all at a relatively deep depth of field)

You dont use a dull knife made of pig iron just because its technically a tool either. Some "tools" quickly become better wall art than workmans kit.

Thankfully this is more like a dull knife made of chinese steel so it can cut butter and amazon boxes

At what point is it copying (stealing) vs copying (taking inspiration from).
It's not really the same format so I would tend to the later.

Wrong. Anonymous(and some well known) 19th century American western landscape photographers spawned this aesthetic. There FSA photographers during depression era took the lead.
