Hi boys. I want to ask a question about adapting M mount lenses to my X-T4 and noticed there was no /fag/ thread. Does anyone use the Leica M to FX adaptor? I'm also planning on using a 28mm and want the best yet most compact lense I can find.[EXIF data available.

>>4403291i have the 50 and the mitakon 65 as well. i sometimes think about getting a different native lens because the 50 is a bit bland and the bokeh looks awful to me. but i think i had the idea of having the 50 as the standard general purpose lens and adapting lenses if i want something more specific or flavorful[EXIF data available.

I'm a total noob and I have an xm1. Should I get a used xt1 or xt2 soon, or get some more lenses instead and get better with the xm1?
Is trying to shoot macro with GFX a fool's errand? I've heard nailing focus is very hard, and there's no native lenses that do 1:1 well (sample images of the 120mm macro with tubes look very soft) which means no automatic focus braketing which is a pain. Does anyone have experience trying this?
>>4404079no one here knows what you should get better than you do right now. and what you know right now is 1% of what yuo'll know after 20 hours of shooting. so just use what you have until you figure out what changes will be relevant to your purposes>>4404235seems silly since dof will be so tiny and as you said, the system doesn't have very useful macro lenses[EXIF data available.

A friend's wedding photography business is taking off, and he asked me if I could join him as a second shooter on a few. I would need to get a new camera. I would kind of like to get an X-S20, so that I can leave my options for doing video open, but is the photo quality decent? How bad is the video quality on an X-T5 in comparison?

Canon Pixma inkjets, not bad for the initial cash layout. Buying Canon ink cartridges will take an honest man broke. Any recommendations for tank systems?
>>4399962I got one of those Epsons (ET-2721) and they're really good. Haven't had a dried out printer head ever since (the ones in my old Canon printers always dired out after a couple of days) and refilling is quick. Prices for ink are low as you can simply buy third-party ink for almost no money. Quality-wise I don't see any differences when printing.
>>4399997>Prices for ink are low as you can simply buy third-party ink for almost no moneyI wouldn't do this. Even with first party you'll spend way more on papers than on ink without risking poorer color accuracy. Then again, that particular one only has 3 colors, so color accuracy isn't going to be stellar either way.If OP can at all afford the 6 color A3 printer, that's what I'd recommend.
I bought my HP Laserjet printer depending on what the local printer shop had experience with and could refill toners for.I had Inkjet printers before and I seriously hate them. I paid more than a lifetime worth of money and time dealing with shitty inkjets. I don't care if it's >muh modern inkjet tech.Just stick with laser printers and you'll be thankful how reliable and how little maintenance they'll need. Ink is also more environmentally hazardous and difficult to get rid of than toner dust.
>>4399962>Brother B&W LaserIs the objectively best $100 you'll ever spend. You can even load up laser photo paper and make somewhat decent B&W prints at home. Not ideal since laser photo paper is expensive and inkjet will always btfo laser for images.>I order my printsThis or go to a local shop for anything except constant printing. A home setup will be better overall for colour accuracy, exposure, and ensuring consistency. You also get to play with all sorts of exotic photo paper that otherwise wouldn't be available.But yeah, it gets pricey and if you don't print often enough you'll have to service the printer every now and then to keep the parts free of gunk or died ink etc.
I bought an epson ecotank 8550.. more than good enough for an amateur like me.

>>4403895i agreed with you retardthe only thing nikon product that actually DID suck was their early mirrorless (z50/z30, z5, z6 mk1). crap AF + expensive lenses and wasn't equal to even their older DSLRs) the other factor we forget is brand loyalty. the avg boomer buying cameras grew up shooting either nikon or canon = they're gonna buy either of the 2, both are household names when it comes to cameras. sonys only recently thanks to their camcorders in the 1990s. think about what brand point and shoots or camcorders your parents/family/friends bought in the 2000s growing up. it comes down to whatever they can buy when they go to best buy/circuit city/frys. canon in particular has excellent product placement w/nikon not far behind. i can pick up a rebel t7 or r50 at any walmart/target in the country (10 years ago add nikon d3000/3200/3400 to that). again, your average nikon shooter probably never read any reviews until after the fact.

How do you use a tripod? Do you make an effort to set the level completely horizontally? Have you ever used the weight hook? Do you whip it only for long exposures or do you use it as much as possible?
>>4403233>Have you ever used the weight hook?Most machine-guns are already pretty heavy
>>4403233I have used it for a few things (astro, macro, some night photography) but I prefer handheld when I can do that. I got a monopod recently and that's something I think I might use more, even without it extended its a nice counterweight to the camera body itself and makes me feel steadier with heavy lenses
>>4403233Mine has a built in level, so If I am doing a level shot I will use it, but I also have a level for my flash connection on top, and always shoot with the 9 grid bars so I'm usually good.Yes I've used the weight hook. I like to hike with a backpack to take photos when I'm out so it's a nice spot to put it. I spent over $600 on this thing so damn right I use it often. It's very lightweight and compact so no real reason not to bring it. Yes for long exposures and for when I have something I want to shoot that is worth the effort. Anything to bring that ISO down to 64.
>>4403233>how do you use a tripod?I only use it when I know It'll be dark as shit or I want really clean images. So pretty rarely.>do you make an effort to set the level completely horizontally?My camera does a pretty good job of showing me when I've done that, so yeah.>have you ever used the weight hook?No not yet. My tripod is a manfrotto I got for 50 bucks, it can honestly be used as an improvised bludgeoning weapon due to how much it weighs, wind hasn't challenged it yet.>do you whip it only for long exposures or do you use it as much as possible?I don't use it all that often, but when I do of course I have to whip it to get it to work, it is black after all.

Let's discuss photo editing. Some questions to get started:How do you edit your photos?What tools do you use?What style do you go for? Do you edit conservatively or dramatically? Why or why not?[EXIF data available.

>>4403826Thanks for the advice Anon, the saturation trick will be very useful. Here's an example.

>>4403828I think the colors are fine, maybe a bit on the colder/greener side, I would probably color balance against the sky to make it gray (you can see that in the histogram - the brightest peak on the right is blue+green, the red is a bit darker, that means, since the sky is the brightest point in your picture, that to make the it "neutral" grey, you have to add a bit of warmth and magenta) I think that its just the bad weather conditions in this one, maybe the composition feels a bit unsure.
>>4403646I mostly shoot landscapes and nature.>How do you edit your photos?>What tools do you use?I do pretty much everything in LR nowadays. First I make a quick review and delete obviously missed shots (missed focus, blurry shots, very bad explosure, redundant ones, poor framing). I also mark shots which are part of a panorama or other stuff to make them easier to find later. Then I edit each "good/decent" photo one by one with mostly basic adjustments. I can be a bit more thorough when I have a good photo, eg use masks.The exception is for panoramas which I actually do quite often nowadays. I either stitch them directly in LR and edit the panorama afterwards, but the stitching is often quite bad. Otherwise I make a basic editing of each shot, export them as tif, stitch them with Autopano, and make the final edits in photoshop. Very rarely I also do some hdri with Picturenaut, but cameras are good enough that it's nearly never necessary.Once the edits are done I export my photos in subfolders (one per purpose, small images for sharing and full size/quality for personal viewing/printing). >What style do you go for?Usually very natural, I try to render the scene close to how I remember it, maybe enhance details a little bit. Sometimes just getting natural colors actually require heavy editing, especially for mountainous areas.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4403835Looks a lot nicer Anon, thank you. I need to get better at recognising when the white balance is off (and not in an intentional way)Composition isn't great for sure, I took this while on a bike from what I remember.
>>4403908All you need is to find something that you know should be gray/white in real life - click on it with the set color temperature picker tool and youre halfway there - the saturation trick is also useful with this, with your image you see that everything sort of turns azure/green, so just click the sky (a gray day means gray sky) and its fixed. (you can also use saturation and vibrance maxed out, for even more "help", just dont forget to reset it afterwards)

A Noctilux 50mm f1 and a Nokton 50mm f1.1.Turns out the Nokton is sharper in the center wide open, but has ever so slightly busier bokeh. The Nokton is priced at $400, the Noctilux $6000. It strikes me how autistic you have to be to justify such a price for what is now an antiquated lens that gets mogged by any modern first party 50mm F1.2 anyway.Pic related is a "special edition" last 100 Leica Noctilux in a wooden presentation case that can be yours for just 26000 euros.[EXIF data available.

So basically I'm looking for a digital compact camera, i own a canon dlsr with that custom fw but ima be honest i never take this huge bitch with me. But I also don't really want to use my phone because idk the pics simply veeeery rarely manage to capture this idk what I remember seeing in my head. there seems to be this e CHDK (Canon Hacker Development Kit) thingy I assume thats something I want ... but at the same time I honestly really don't mind this old look cameras. I know too little about this to really tell where this sorta look im thinking off comes from if its the lens or the sensor or actually software that matters the most. Whats interesting specifically for me is:-I guess some flexibility with the file format this outputs and no super stupid firmware problems like being restricted to very tiny sdcards (I ideally never want to worry about swapping sdcards unless to extract). Raw may be cool as a concept but im not exactly sure if I will actually make use of that but still a non shitty firmware does seem appealing- something that doesn't require very calm hands to somewhat reliably produce somewhat sharp pictures. I know there is no perfect image stabilisation and that it also depends on the amount of light you want/need to capture but I'd still like it if I could somewhat casually take pictures- (not forced but would be useful) something that doesn't like produce sounds or red notification lights before taking a pic. The best pics i took of my friends were without their knowledge so like I'd appreciate that if it can't be disabled to always make a sound or flash a light that it at least does that AFTER it took a picture <if it plays a sound via a speaker I could solder that out cleanly probably assuming it can't be disabled> [more dunno preferences/requirements below] <pic related is a random picture taken with some old samsung as its the only file I have rn that remotely captures the sort of feeling>

>>4402645Never trust anyone recommending an mft camera.
>>4402687Micro four thirds is literally only good for offhand casual snapshits where you might break or lose a better camera or fuck up too badly for a sharp, high resolution, thin DOF system
>>4402645I'd look into the Lumix LX series, my recommendations from experience would be the LX3 or LX5.They're pocketable, have decent image quality, RAW support, can take up to 32gb SD cards, have half decent stabilisation (up to 1/10s handheld) and you can turn off that red light.I got mine for about 85 eurobucks but they might be a bit more expensive now. Alternative is the Canon S95 which is pretty good I hear. Pic related is from my LX3[EXIF data available.

G5X. It has dials for manual control, a decently sized sensor and an electronic viewfinder and because of that the zoomers don't care that much for it meaning that the price has remained lower than for other cameras using the same sensor.I have handled a couple of cameras with that sensor and I didn't hate what came out of it. The panaleicas starting from about a decade ago are of a really bad design in my opinion.. having handled a bunch of the different LX cameras I have seen enough examples with dust in the lens and on the sensor to conclude that it is a widespread problem. The LX7 is a cool camera though, but it is showing its age obviously, but at least they don't have the added feature of being a vacuum cleaner.
