this is the "cheap" camera we have in my office for doing field work.

Yeah I need way fucking more. More competent build quality. More weather sealing. More well designed ergonomics. More sanely designed sensor. More quality to the lens. More photography, less larping as the film camera it will never be.

That's why I chose the best camera: The Sony A7C with the 40mm f2.5 G. It's been with me for years, 150k shutter actuations, and tons of rainstorms. It held up when fujis hid in coats.

xtrans = tranny camera. You will never be a real rangefinder. You have no celluloid base. You have no dye layers. You have no silver halides. You are a crude twisting of an electronic photon counter and when you take a 3ft drop and break in two it will be glaringly obvious, here lies a digital camera.

Nice, when I started shooting I was stuck between this or a Fooj with the 27mm but went with the latter. Probably the good choice overal but I can't get over the fact yours is f2 while mine is f2.8

>Friend has the M50 mk2, it's really fun to use, but even the lowest end full frame sensor paired with a mediocre lens will produce better looking photos, that's just a fact.
FF will do better in really low light, and high res FF will do better on really large prints. In most conditions that people shoot in, apsc does fine and will produce 16x20's that are indistinguishable from FF with just a little sharpening in post. And I say that as someone who fucking loves and exploits both high res FF and the extreme low light performance of FF.

As for lenses: you can very quickly lose the FF sharpness advantage with a mediocre lens. As well as the low light advantage with a slow lens. The EF-M 22mm f/2 and 11-22 IS are literally worth owning a M body just to have them.

The said m50 produced usable low light photos at 1/100, iso 3200, f/1.8.

Shitty dinamic range means you can't really underexpose and these limitations are what they are.

This said, I used to shoot street with the aps-c and from a full-frame user's perspective it's fucking hell.

But people who overpaid for a fucking Fuj because a used ff dslr is beneath them will need validation, I guess.
>>
>>4377764
oh yes, I'm sure dynamic range is the limiting factor to your photography
>>
>>4377764
>The said m50 produced usable low light photos at 1/100, iso 3200, f/1.8.
ISO 3200 should be solid regardless of shutter/aperture as long as your exposure produces a good histogram. The original M could handle 3200, and 3200 (6400 in a pinch with post NR) covers a lot of situations, including some urban night scenes. Are there situations which benefit from FF? Absolutely, that's why I shoot FF. But most people most of the time don't fully explore the limits of apsc.

>This said, I used to shoot street with the aps-c and from a full-frame user's perspective it's fucking hell.
I don't know why, I love street on the M because of its size. I still grab it for street. Dimly lit night urban scenes call for FF, but bright city streets are fine on apsc, especially with IS. From experience I can say the M works fantastic on the Vegas strip (for example), and I've gotten casino shots on the M where a DSLR or FF MILC would have gotten my butt kicked out.

Go shoot crop after sun sets, at f/3.5, 1/500 or faster and post results.

1/500 and f/3.5 even on FF isn't going to be ideal. Appropriately NR'd, resized, and resharpened crop at ISO 3200 is perfectly servicable for that kind of photography. No 20x16 prints, but yeah go buy FF for that.

Funny, since Canon's Multi-Shot NR is actaully bullshittingly good, but only useful for static subjects. Or just shoot B&W and embrace the luminance noise

Funny, I returned an x-t5 because a silly EVF is worth not having a premium priced camera that manages to be worse than a low budget APS-C DSLR (but it has... le video codecs and jpeg presets!).

The "bad" EVF gives it vintage charm. Its only real flaw is the whole thing is a fucking dust magnet. If you take the lens off once you're fucked.

For staying clean, having fast and accurate autofocus even in low light and on non-detectable subjects, and using manual focus glass and large lenses DSLRs reign supreme. Mirrorless has its niche as a hyper convenient high speed low drag full frame snapshit machine and expecting more of it is a fun way to end up wasting $4000+.
>>
>>4377871

Seething but the 40mm is smaller, lighter, and sharper than any 35mm or 40mm on m43 and "equivalence" flat out does not apply to real photography. Daylight and flash provide ample light for 90% of photos and the base ISO on every micro four thirds camera except for the $2000, FF sized G9II is 200.

Color quality is also inferior due to the small pixels. Full frame cameras get much better color gradation.
>>
>>4377873
I swear if you take a RAW out of MFT and edit it on actual software you get like... okay results? It's almost like the OOC software is self-aware and wants your photos to turn out in an easily distinguishable turd-like fashion. I reckon you could take an MFT snapshit RAW, strip the exif, give it a rodgering in LR/DT and pass it off as a broken Nikon in terms of colour and microcontrast

Maybe you could, but I closed my laptop to get a coffee and give someone their book back, which gave me a new IP, and a new long ass wait, so I totally lost interest and sat down at a lecture to restart the long ass wait AGAIN, and then took notes about proton decay instead of finding a photo to resize from 6k, compress, and resharpen to fit 4chan's archaic file limits without posting a 50% quality 6000x4000 jaypeg.

At least I didn't wait too long and have to wait again.

I don't see the point of posting photos on this shitty website. Just one snapshit of my a7c was an ordeal compared to how simple it is to post on better websites like flickr, 8khan, and reddit. It's glaringly obvious to me why no one here posts photos except the people with 6mp film scans and digishit/phone cameras. Just fucking posting is bad enough. Doctoring images to be uploadable is worse.

This was my first time on /p/ because if you're a student or have some sort of life, arguably 4chan is only good for calling people niggers via your phone. That's all I do besides these 3 posts. I browse /v/ and randomly call people niggers.

if someone talks about gear, it's nice if they add a relevant photo
it's takes less effort than writing out whole essays about how and why it's too hard to post a photo on a photo board
there's also a lot of people with very strong opinions about gear they've never even used, so it's nice to confirm the perspective is coming from actual hands on experience

anytime i talk about specific gear, i do include photo
if asked for relevant photo, i also post, what kind of photo would you like me to post? ive posted hundreds here and could just link to a few in other threads right now too

Why would I limit myself to 1/500 after the sun sets? Retarded straw man is retarded.

EOS M + 18-55 IS f/3.5 ISO 800 1/10. Even when I was shooting people and worried about blur I just bumped to ISO 3200. If you have to shoot fast action in dim light is FF better? Of course. Most people don't need that, that's the only point I was making.

to make the lens smaller while still being sharp wide open. wide aperture lenses on large sensors can be sharp and large or soft and small. either/or. same reason medium format is f4 and f2.8 most of the time.

>>4378170
sony’s 50mm f1.4 is the size of nikons 50mm f1.8 and superior
sony’s 50mm f1.2 is the smallest, the sharpest, and vignettes less than canon’s and about as much as nikon’s huge one

so it cant be the mount now can it?
>>
>>4378224
BUT MUH EQUIVALENCE!

That literally does not apply to IRL photography. Crop copers keep gobbling up “equivalence includes ISO!” but besides being technically wrong, its also rare for “equivalent” settings to make sense IRL. Perhaps if you had a larger, softer, heavier micro four thirds 20mm f1.25 to shoot wide open with loads of CA at iso 1000 noise and iso 200 exposure, snoy would be btfo!

That lens is not sharp at any aperture, the mount is plastic which is guaranteed to loosen and leave dust and shavings inside the camera, and the photos actually look like crap from the extreme field curvature

until now I have only been shooting analogue but I thought about getting one of these. I have never used a good digital camera. Will I be able to use (my old) lenses with manual focus? I find auto focus and related stuff like very gay, I want to take the picture and not some AI assisted programm which cannot even recite the first lines of Mein Kampf.
Is there a better option for me? I would like to have as much control as possible and I would like to be able to use my old lenses with adapters. Just like my old analogue cameras, only digital. Also, I want to compose through a viewfinder
>>
>>4378434
I believe the post you replied to is showing Fuji's fixed lens model.

To use your old lenses you need an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera with the right adapter for your lenses, preferably FF for the same fov. Typical manual focusing aids include magnification (part of view shown 5x in the EVF) and peaking (in focus details are overlaid in red, a really convenient way to judge the plane of focus). Canon RF also has focusing aid where you have a movable box and arrows above the box indicating how far out of focus detail in the box is. Center the arrows and you're in focus.

Pretty much any FF mirrorless will let you control everything, i.e. full manual exposure in M mode.

One thing you will run into is that your manual lenses will generally not be coupled to the camera's meter. (I'm not sure if there are any adapters which work around this for some mounts.) So you will have to do "stopped down metering" where you set the aperture at the lens and then meter the scene to set shutter and ISO. FF bodies with good high ISO sensors and EVFs will 'gain up' so that you can still see the scene and focus even with the lens stopped down.

I'm not aware of any cameras which can recite Mein Kampf, though I suppose you could fork Magic Lantern and add the capability.
>>
>>4378229
>muh clinical sharpness
sure, if you want that, just get the Nikon Z 50mm f1.8s
but the 40mm has really nice character. way more than your clinical chart-retard optimized snoy trash
