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.

35/1.470-200>>4372614He's right, why not a Df, same sensor as D4 and weighs 1/3 as much
>>4378721idk i want the big fatso battery grip and dat fps
>>4372524i 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.
Some standard zoom with my favorite prime lens
>>4376794theres a pin sharp 1.7 in both A and M flavours and a 1.4 thats a little more expensive but the 0.3 of light doesn't really do that much difference, theres also this XR rikenon f2 that has a very good rep

Moroccans don't believe their souls are stolen but they do see an easy victim from miles away. The country is a dump, like a piece of India right next to Europe but also one of the most photogenic places on earth (like India I suppose)

>>4377649Off-topic: do we know anything about the A7 V?
>>4378495Not 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.
>>4380132What about the release? 2025?
>>4380728Yeah Q1 of 2025.
>>4378495The 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.
Why does Sony have objectively the worst color science out of all the cameras?
>>4381614Did not realize canon was so BASED.
>>4381618Because sony still makes better cameras for most people, with better colors. So much better that shills gotta lie to cope.

>>4381552This is superb. How would I get this look on video?
>>4382170Hey thanks.>>4382181Get 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)

DSLR user here who did not fall for the mirrorless meme. Looks like its been a very smart decision.All this time I have been saving my money and now have enough to jump in and grab something good from the next generation of cameras after mirrorless.

>>4381032Viewfinder 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 .
>>4370894pony tail man
>>4323977Camera reveal??
>>4378549Its a GE vhs camera from the 80s
>>4314064I 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.
>>4351498More 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. You are insane.[EXIF data available.

>>4379294The 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.
>>4379294>>4379304>Z6iii wasn't just a Zf in a modern bodyThat's called a Z6II, anon
>>4378152You 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.
>>4378140I 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.

>>4381409A bit too much dead space at the bottom of the frame, otherwise competent.
>>4381409Buy 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).
What's a good alternative, Is 6 still viable?I dont intend to pay so price isn't an issue.
I love it when people scream about paying for a subscription. Bro you are subscribed to Netflix and Amazon most likely. You're kind of paying for a subscription every time you get on a bus or a train. You don't own the service.
>>4381947Even $500 per year to make better photos with less work is literally nothing you poorfagDecent jobs shell out twice that per week
>>4381955Nah, I don't pay any kind of subscription. Even my phone is on prepaids.>>4381960...and yes, I'm poor. With my education (PhD in applied physics, solid state ionics) all I can do is to work for minimal wage at national institute, equivalent of 750$ per month (after taxes).
