Micro contrast is not real. 3D pop is not real.
Well, they may be real phenomena of an image, but they are not imparted by certain lenses due to certain optical designs.

Anyone who supports the idea of 3D pop, Zeiss pop, or micro contrast is an anti-science luddite or a grifter.

Watch any of these people try to explain what 3D pop or micro contrast is and their bullshit is self evident. If a phenomenon cannot be described using scientific language and measured objectively, it isn't real.

Every time you see an A/B test for 3D pop or microcontrast, the tester is using different camera bodies, or the composition is different, the color grade is different, different exposure levels or the lighting has changed.

The only other area that has so much peasant level superstition has got to be pro audio.

i have a voigtlander 27mm f2 and it's pretty much welded on my camera, it could be a fixed lens device at this point. Given the comfort of having two lenses, I'd probably keep my shitty samyang 35mm f1.2, or revert back to 7artisans 35mm f0.95 that I weirdly liked a lot despite how shitty it was. So, I'd have one tiny little pancake on a wider side, and one standard 50mm equivalent that would be very bright.

Not much yet, but it's likely to have some of the minor upgrades from the A7CII and retain the same 33mp. Also a higher shutter speed too.

The a7v and a7rvi will probably have new sensors to prevent people from realizing the older ones are still good. Probably high speed video shit sensors with DR loss.

Get a camera, remove the IR filter on the sensor (alternatively get a full spectrum camera) and then put on filters to remove all UV but only some of the IR. (skip UV filter if sensor is only made sensitive to IR)
Oh and shoot raw, a Digital Bolex might be your best bet for this look.

This fuckin camera renders shaded lush greens as almost pale white on an overcast summer day
(picrel number 1 is with an IR cut filter and number 4 is without one)

Every generation has its peaks after which nothing improves. mirrorless just hit most of its peaks very early because professional videographers are driving the market hard and professional photographers are still using older shit.

>DSLR peaking for photo
nikon d750, d850
canon 5div, 5ds r
pentax k-1 mk1

>Mirrorless peaking for photo
sony a7cii - best travel/hobby camera
sony a7rv - best high resolution full frame camera
canon r6ii, r5 mk1 - best all around professional cameras
nikon zf - best prosumer camera, best for adapting manual lenses

Viewfinder brightness was a solved issue until light was siphoned off for autofocus systems.
I've decided I would rather have shitty or no autofocus than a viewfinder that's dark and has no split prism/microprism.

Do zoomers care about CCD videography? I have some old VHS video cameras I restored that have 1/2" CCD sensors inside and they look great if you bypass the tape and export the raw video right to a capture card.
I've been trying to market myself to zoomers who want the VHS effect but nobody is biting .

I will never understand how anyone buying a camera that does video was ever convinced to go from global shutter (like this) to rolling shutter.

Imagine a device designed to capture motion, being bad at capturing motion! Nearly every video camera is like that now, and will be completely obsolete and not missed once global shutter takes over again.
>>
>>4351498
More important is that fact the entire image is taken at the same time (global shutter), therefore handheld camera shake still looks good, especially at the high refresh rate.

Why do cameras have more than one autofocus point? Are you people really just trusting the camera is going to guess what you want in focus? That's insane.

The ZF has some of the best tech in the worst package period. Its a giant brick that relies on menu diving to do half the shit it can do. A sony would feel comfortable and easy to use.

Only get it if you’re absolutely allergic to simply upgrading to a better DSLR, ie: d850, k3-iii.
>>
>>4379295
>The ZF is only -10ev with nikon’s f1.2 lens.
Yeah, which is "only" -8.5EV at f2.
For reference, the Z50 is only -4EV at f2. Sony's a1 and a7rv are also -4EV at f2, and a9III is -5EV at f2, and a7sIII at -6EV.
Canon, who also uses f1.2, rates the R5II, R1, and R3 at -6EV for f2.

A Zf at f8 would be able to focus in darkness where a Z50 at f2 couldn't.

You wouldn't notice the difference if you only shoot building corners in AF single. If you're actually shooting stuff that matters (moving targets) then you'd know that AF tracking and continuous modes have gotten 100x better over the last 20 years. It could almost make someone like you autofocus as fast as someone like me could manual focus. You would still compose the shot wrong though.
>>
>>4378140
I have only ever used the middle focus point.

Why the fuck would you want to play focus point roulette? I've never understood this.

BTW, eye AF existed in the film era - I'm considering getting an EOS 3 for this reason alone - the only way multiple focus points would make sense.

Buy a film camera with a focussing aid in the viewfinder.

The way I see it is that when focussing manually you have a choice between focussing aids (split prism etc.) and focussing AIDS (DSLR with no split prism or other focus aid).
