I've realized that there is no perfect camera for me, after about a week of comparing camera systems, I found that there is always something lacking which is a major feature I want. So I have decided that I should just be happy with what I have. The question then becomes; how do I simply accept and be happy with the camera gear that I already own? I've realized buying gear is an endless cycle of fulfillment

an endless cycle of fulfillment
*unfulfillment

What is this set of features you must have?
>>
>>4384912
>the mount must have a weather sealed, full frame. digital camera with a 2 axis tilt screen
>the mount must have a wide selection of compact, lightweight zoom lenses
>the mount must also have a weathersealed film body
There is actually no solution to this as I've discovered
>>
>>4384914
the solution is: buy 2 or 3 cameras. each for a specific task. there's a reason why m43 is a popular secondary system with fool framers

Pentax

I just use my cellphone and get 90% of mft.
>>
>>4384910
lidrlly just get 2 complimenting systems at both extremes of what you want
>>
>>4384917
>>4384922
>>4384919
the problem is there there is no manufacturer that can meet my film needs. Canon and Nikon make no compact, zoom lenses for their film bodies and Pentax has no weather sealed film bodies outside of the LX, but I forgot the requirement the film camera must autowind and have autofocus.

Meaning there is no actual solution. Luckily I do already shoot Pentax, which I think has the fewest compromises.

>>4384923
please tell us what/where/how you're shooting that your requirements are this specific? you sound totally delusional but imma give you benefit of the doubt

They are my requirements because they are the things that I want.

sorry bud, cameras are made for professional needs no manchild wishes.

Fact=taking photos with digital cameras is unfulfilling. It’s fail safe toddler proof brain dead easy. As a result it’s not fun.

Buy a film camera, get into actual photography, you will suddenly care far less about gear
>>
>>4386128
You would be a good slave. Oh well
>>
>>4386131

Get back to work, you have that next gear upgrade to save for.

ur brain damaged and procrastinating as well as blaming the gear. you use this as cope to avoid the reality that u have nothing to shoot and your output will be crap. if u had an actual project ud get one of many tools for the job and execute it. kys

I was basing my comment off of his reddit spacing. What did you base yours off of?

When in doubt take a break and enjoy snapping instead of worrying about features.

Your obsession with reddit.

You are brain damaged by /p/ memes and gear FUD.

You basically just described buying a sony (weather sealed, full frame, digital, tilt screen, wide selection of compact quality lightweight zooms) and an EOS 1v (the only weather sealed film camera where the seals havent dissolved, if you manage to get a later model)

EF mount adapts easily to E mount so they can share lenses

But /p/ would bully you because the pathetic spamming cannot shill would shit screenshots of clickbait youtube titles (actual content nonsupporting) and the pathetic spamming anti-cannot shill would spam MUH BLOB MUH BLOB,

so you can't do that. in real life sony weather sealing is fine and the colors are good. in real life no one cares if you have a blob.

am i right or am i right
