not in my experience, the baby photographer dresses and handles the baby besides the diaper stuff. You also gotta be willing to put up with young kids which is a rarity especially amongst this board and its endless wall of social inepts.

>>4307561
Thinking some ugly demon that smells like spoiled milk and ketchup is tolerable doesn't mean you have good social skills, it just means you're probably a woman or just have no taste. Dealing with other peoples children has prevented many people from starting their own families and realizing it's only other peoples kids that suck.

listen you tard, as i said earlier all the compacts are too fucking tiny for my taste.
I got rid off the lumix lx7, s95, rx100 and probably many others.
Most of the times it's in my pocket and i take snapshots while walking.
As for the price; these cameras were 40-60€ each just last year. now they're around 150-200€
Knowing that it is unfortunate somehow. It doesn't matter if you can afford or not. But atleast i found one nearly mint conditions for 90€

Are you talking about the banding?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_banding

>>4304282
Got some things that were fun for me and not bank breaking to try out if you are looking to expand on the hobby.

theres pretty cheap adapters for phones that allow you to hook up your phone to the telescope and take pictures trough the eyepiece,

If you still have a canon/nikon DSLR laying around you can look for whats called a T2 ring, it allows you to attach your camera to your telescope and essentialy use the telescope as your lens,

Youve probably noticed by now that theres no zoom button on your telescope, you can achieve different levels of 'magnification' by buying different eye pieces, the simpelest way to look at this is the smaller the mm the more 'zoomed' in the view will feel, you probably got a standard 25m with the telescope, maybe look into getting something around 10mm aswell and maybe a 2x barlow lens.

as the other anon said a big part comes from the software, look up youtube videos that teach you how to stack the pictures you take from the nightsky and the right settings for your camera

lastly try to share the hobby with other people in your circle, if youre looking at something cool call over a family member, or throw out the telescope when you have friends over, ud be surprised how many people have never looked trough one.

Ahem ackshually it has no mirror there is no reflex on this camera, it uses a beam splitting prism more akin to what we saw with Sony’s SLT cameras. It having ttl viewing doesn’t automatically make it reflex, chud, educate yourself.

>>4306183
so you lose a stop of light at the sensor and have a dim viewfinder image instead of having a flipping mirror. Nice!

That would be a creative decision but 99% of the time I just turn my camera to "Aperture priority" and it just werks lol.

It's basically a 70s camera made in the 2000s, the point of that model isn't being feature-rich and it likely has less features than the F55 OP asked about. Better built, that much is true.

>>4305665
younger film cameras with lots of computerized parts tend to break often and are harder to repair.
if your gonna get a film camera get one from from the 70s-90s

>>4306801
Hijacking this to ask if there's any point in shelling out $600-$900 for a FM3A instead of an older FM/FM2 or even something like an F2. I'm looking for a manual, mechanical f-mount and don't really care if it's AI or not as long as it's reliable.

Hey ken rockwell, go ahead and scan your crappy snapshits of your suburb or your fat kid in your crappy 12mp jpg. Save en as 8bit too, bc you cant see that difference either. Its really cool that you have no idea the difference between an archival scan and whatever crap you think is “good enough” for your snapshits, but the thread full of people building rigs for archival scanning is not going to be the target audience for your worn-out shtick.

When you build that time machine let me know so i can go back in time and give my photographer grandfather this z7 before he shot 50 years of work. It’ll make my life 1000x easier.
>just choose one or the other, i cant handle two kinds of cameras existing, one must be superior
No, the kind of aspie nerds that fill the internet think photography is about the gear. They are fucking hopeless & need to imagine everything is a black & white, all-or-nothing binary choice. These people are idiots. The world didn't stop painting landscapes just because the Sony A7ivxrS3 shoots it at 600megapixels. Dont be so fucking german.

>>4303591
Neat. Are you controlling it just with gcode over serial? I am curious what the accuracy/repeatability of the positioning is. Best case is it would be accurate enough that the images would just line up and you could combine them with an imagemagick script or somesuch. I doubt it is that accurate but maybe good enough to use something less computationally intensive than full pano stitching.
With gcode scripting + tethering + automatic stitching it shouldn't matter so much how tedious it is, 'cause you'd just kick it off and go shitpost for a while like you'd do with an old fashioned scanner.

>>4303631
I used commands over serial with pronterface for this. It has manual controls that can override the end stops in the firmware and I couldn’t figure out which g codes do that. I ripped the tool head off and this printer had 2/3 homing end stops on the tool head so I couldn’t use typical g-code cause it can’t home lol. I feel like with a solid sturdy mount, it would be fairly repeatable, it’s on a sturdy linear rail and the steppers resolve to like 0.1mm or something like that. I think it would be more useful for 4x5 or larger formats maybe. Even at 1:1 would still take a few shots.

Is PEC12 still the good film cleaner, or is there something better now?
I have have a whole stack of absolutely filthy slides from the 70's.

PS. In the Ron Howard film Apollo 13, you can see them throwing cameras Down the Hatch to put into the Command Module for reentry when the trying to balance off the weight difference from the lack of moon rocks. Ron was lucky enough to partner with somebody who knew where he could get these cameras from private collectors myself included. I didn't get to instruct the actors on how to use these cameras, the other person did who had more in it. Unfortunately when they were doing filming on board the vomit Comet for these scenes, they tossed the lens across the Gap too quickly in the mock-up, and the guy missed it and hit the wall and damaged it. One lens that NASA wanted, but they didn't get in time was the 105 F 4.3 UV Sonnar. By the time that was available, they'd already gotten a workaround lens from another company and adapted it.

It's a nationwide hobby project, not the military. Their funding is justified different.
>military: spend as little money as possible, but also wantonly waste money on bullshit R&D and even flying tires back and forth to use more gas to show that you need your budget
>NASA: gimme five million dollars i want a cooler rocket
So they actually did buy the best camera they could afford. I'm sure a hasselblad SLR was available at the time but apparently their build quality's gone to shit over the years, so say hasselblad users.
