>switch to an 800 dollar fully mechanical camera that needs a shutter replacement every two rolls with my AF-D from the 90s with image quality from the 60's
Nah, got rid of all my Nikon shit. It's total garbage.

On general principal, it seems like the 35mm would make a good stopgap between too wide and too narrow. The slightly narrower FOV would also make more natural background separation.

The 35mm f2 is better optically. Even if you don't use it as much at least it covers a new focal length, maybe get a 85mm for that 35/85 pairing

>>4397568
Who are you quoting?
Anyways there are a ton of affordable and reliable nikon film cameras from the 80s and 90s. I quite enjoy not having to wind film or manually advance after every shot.

>500 megapixels to simulate 4x5" film

Bro cannot read to save his dang life, lmao.

>>4397537
The professional photo exhibition magazine said 20mp was enough to sub for 4x5. 500mp is just the buyers remorse on rockwell’s part. His logic about megapixels being excessive for display makes sense and then he suddenly contradicts his own source… lol! Gearfags are a curious bunch.

I have never seen a 500mp scan of 4x5 that didnt just look like someone blew up an olympus jpeg in photoshop. Whatever the technical diffracting circle of confusion transfer function is the reason, 4x5 is somehow only as good as 35mm but less grainy so it looks like digital photography after you brush off the pubes and dog hairs. You really dont need more than an om-5 and gradients in photoshop. Numbers only matter if they do something in real life, and buddy your giant numbers don’t. 4x5 = 20mp digital camera at the lowest iso setting. I’ll give you 25mp (just over 3 macbookscreens) to be nice.

>i usually tend to scan on my gfx100 (first gen) and gf 120mm macro
can you post some example scans

>>4397546
Yeah, for their magazine. Just insane cope on your part. Let's see your 1/60th crop from your om5 jpeg.

>>4397375
what did you shoot before?
start a project/series or rehash some of your old work and figure out how to make them better.
print some of your old work
shit, even reorganise some of your old hard drives, it might kickstart you.

I was in a rut recently, considering selling 90% of my gear to fund travel, but i realized i'd never feel 'accomplished' if i gave up right now. So in a last ditch effort, i've taken all my notes for photoshoot ideas from years past and created DETAILED moodboards for them. (camera look, lighting, outfit, location, props, etc),
Goal is to have a major shoot every other month until Jan 2026, with some overseas travel thrown in there too, then finally get it printed into a book along with my previous shoots. not meant for distribution or anything, just something for me.

set yourself a goal, see how far you get

Such a large lens

Branding is just that, branding

Some G lenses like the 20mm f1.8 are as good as a G master optically.
Some GMs are underwhelming, like the first gen 85mm.
Also see canon L lenses. A few modern RF Ls are really terrible and get mogged by sony/nikon. Some nikon S lines like the 35mm are quite shit. Samyang made a third party RF UWA prime that would have received an L designation if it were a canon product and promptly got sued, lol.

The branding doesn't tell you anything but that they didn't cut corners and included weather sealing, extra controls, and fluorine coatings and shit. It is 100% possible to beat a company's highest branded product. Just look at all of leica. The vast majority of their lenses are terrible, but cost $4000.

i have the canon 8-15 fisheye zoom and its a neat little thing. works just fine on R bodies. i don't use it much, i don't really come across scenarios where i need that aesthetic or FOV, but i bought it in a package with another lens so it sticks around.

You are such an asshole retard no wonder you are a trucker. Just admit you know nothing about other companies besides Nikock and shut up.

Love that lens. No fisheye for the RF-mount yet though, but it wouldn't surprise me if one comes along.
If I'm not mistaken the previous fisheye was the 15 2.8 from the late 80s so it isn't like it is a priority, but that ef 8-15 can be adapted to any modern mount so it is a killer.

>Do you ever worry about thieving homeless when roaming Portland?

Not really. Only time I actually got hassled is some homeless whitey who demanded if I had took his photo when I was clearly shooting Mt. Tabor. I just looked at him like he was walking garbage and said no.
I used to carry a 9mm, but realized most homeless druggies in portland are more preoccupied with other shit than armed robbery of you. Just don’t be a retard in general, especially at night, and you’ll be fine with that particular crowd.

>>4379051
Simple. "no"

and then.

"leave me alone, you are bothering me."

The correct answer is to just ignore them like you don't speak english.

Then pretend to be a bit deaf and say "What? Do I want to take your picture?"

"No, I said 'Did you take my picture'? "

"...Oh, why would I take your picture? Are you famous?"

>Photography is the art of not pressing the shutter.
No, it WAS when it was film based, now you can store hundreds of thousands of high quality photos in virtual space cheaply or even (gasp) delete them after the fact.
Delusional retard.

>>4396994
When film was dominant we had 12FPS cameras in the 80s and 10fps motor drives with magazine backs before even that

Anyone who used their camera would often go through 5+ rolls a week and fuckups were just thrown away.

Your perspective is one of a broke college student who just discovered portra and ordered a canonet.

>>4395045
My first interpretation was a bored survey worker or inspector playing around in photoshop.

It turned out to be another flickr landscape gearfag: conservationist bux edition playing around with LF film and MF digital from helicopters (yes, my first thought was drone photos and company issue DSLRs) and political is the interpretation he himself inists upon. And yet the photos insist upon themselves very little.
