The price of classic cameras is getting outrageous. The 7ii is now $6,000. >just film on digitalSome of us consider ourselves camera historians, but now it is literally impossible to get most of the classics due to zoomers buying them up and cranking up the costs.
>>4526799It's all digital, dumbass.>Some of us consider ourselves camera historiansYou're not a historian, you're a hoarder who doesn't take photos. If you were a historian you'd have only a few 1800s and 1900s cameras and a massive amount of research into the field, you wouldn't be rage scrolling ebay for meme cameras you heard about on reddit.
>>45267996k with how many lenses? 3?? It's an incredible camera, but a little overrated imo.
>>4526799>other people want this for the wrong reasons and therefore shouldn't have it>it should go to me instead because my reasons are correctlol
>>4526799>Be poorfag>get into photographyBut why?There are other hobbies you know
>picks the ultraclassic of classic camerasyou can get other shit for non retarded prices
>>4526799good, no one can own anything, fuck you
>>4526841I own a mamiya 6 with 2 lenses. I got years ago.
>>4526818Most photos are taken by poor people anon.
>>4526799Zoomers don't have that type of money.Also stop crying. You can always find something for cheap on the used market if you venture outside of your comfort zone.. what's that? You need money back guarantee and free shipping? and you have to only buy this thing that you desire instead of looking for good deals in general? OK, pay market price on ebay then.>>4526817These are the same folks who are seething if somebody finds something cheap out in the wild because "they should have left it for the next hypothetical person in need".
>>4526851You can still find a lot of things cheap on ebay. You just gotta be patient and knowledgeable.
>>4526799I'd like to have a Pentax 67 or mamiya 7ii cause my current mamiya rb67 it's good but also the widest lens is only 50mm which isn't quite wide enough. They're also lighter and easier to use, but yeah they're way expensive, at least the Pentax 67 with a 45mm is cheaper than a 7ii with a 43mm. I could buy either of these cameras if I wanted to, but I refuse to spend used car money on a film camera that might shit itself out of principle. If I'm gonna spend that kind of money, 3-6k, it would be better spent on a digi upgrade. Shame cause I love shooting medium format film
> now it is literally impossible to get most of the classics due to zoomers buying them up and cranking up the costs.>Noooo you can't buy cameras and use them to take photos, only vintage "historians" (faggots) like me are allowed to buy old hardwareseethe chud
>>4526799>why is it expensive to assemble my own personal museum of highly desirable out of production clockwork?idkguess you're collecting vintage medium format folders insteadeveryone gets a mamiya six
ITT SEETHING MAMIYA OWNERS
>>4526962Mamiya owners itt are very happy, but also sad you guys cant get in on the fun.
>>4526962MFW got to plow through a roll of Velvia 50 in the Florida Keys at sunset on an RB67Feelsgoodman.tiff
>>4527006Did you get any good pics?
>>4527032Yeah got a nice one of your mom blowing me on Tri-X 320 pulled to 200
>>4526818It's expensive only of you are a GAS fag
>>4527006Kino
>>4527032kek
>>4527006only you could make a photo with an Rb look like it was taken on an iphone 4 by a diagnosed retard. truely the most egregious talentless gearfag that board has ever had the misfortune of seeing.
>>4527317Not him, but editing slide film is pretty tricky. I bet it is pretty fun to look at in person.
>>4526799consider graduating to funko pop collectingyou could consider yourself a funko pop historian then, it's the exact same thing in practice
>>4527419I cant take pictures of my 8 cats with funko pops tho
>>4526799ok cool why didn't you post this in the gear thread though
>>4527592you can do that with your phone
>>4527598But where is the novelty in that?
>>4526799For around $900 you can have a mint Bronica SQ-Ai with a 50mm lens and a metered pentaprism. Bronica is great stuff, jump on it before it gets ruined too.
>>4526799>it is literally impossible to get most of the classics due to zoomers buying them up and cranking up the costsyou should be happy that people are enjoying things you have a passion for
>>4531477But you don't understand. Only he's allowed to enjoy things. Other people who enjoy the same thing are fake poser hipsters that only enjoy things out of spite. When he buys a camera the whole world cries with joy but when someone else buys the same camera model it's only to fuck him over and make the prices higher.4channer mentality is something else. This place needs to be studied.
>>4527642Where is the novelty in taking cat pictures with a medium format camera?
Or you could buy classic cameras that actually take classic looking photos? My main camera is a 70's compact rangefinder with a fixed lens that I got off eBay for 60 USD. OP's picrel is for people who want to say they shoot film but would be better off just shooting digital. I know "character" is an annoying buzzword right now but it's the one most legitimate reason to shoot film. Unless you don't care how the photo actually looks in which case why not just shoot digital? I guess that's a little narrow minded but I just find it odd to buy such expensive film equipment for the purpose of technical prowess when that's exactly why digital took over.
