Alright, now is the time to buy. Apparently hollywood is using soviet photo glass for movies now. Companies are rehousing them into film lenses. Dune 2 was shot entirely on old Soviet glass. I know the Helios m42 is legend. what else should I look at. I am on L mount.
>>4305872All these old lenses are shit and unique. Eventually some normie movie will be shot on olympussy sucko lenses and those will be $500 a pop. Get your 135mm f2.8s while you can.
>>4305918Because “soft” lenses still have a lot of detail, it’s just not as crispy.
>>4305872Dylanfags are insufferable, especially the ones who don't really get the lyrics they quote
>>4305921This statement makes absolutely no sense. If you're going to display stuff in an IMAX theater you need resolution and detail.
>>4306238It has detail. The individual hairs are there. Just not as contrasty. Too sharp of a lens and it looks like a 3d render or AI enhanced. Why do you think mirrorless portraits shot with flawless lenses like the nikon noct and plena look uncanny before retouching? Human vision isnt nearly that sharp. If nikon had a 100mp camera you could crop super sharp 5mp images out of it, the sharpest 5mp has ever been, with the plena attached. It’s actually too much.
What is a good one? I've had this case for damn near 20 years and I don't see a reason to upgrade. It's vintage, and chicks dig it.[EXIF data available.

>>4304572Rubber feet need a rigid base to keep the center of the bottom from touching the floor, increasing both weight and cost. But yea I agree on the extra inner pockets, there's either way too much (thinktank) or null (billingham). Just get a tech organizer.
>>4300049Aren't these for prolonged travel? I just bring one lens (tiny prime if the camera is priority 2, zoom if i'm there for photos) and maybe a battery in my pocket for digital or a second prime and a spare roll if it's film.if i was traveling with a full kit i'd rather have a hardshell case with internal padding and more fixed in place organization. it could double as a work area to fiddle with all that gear.
Do you guys prefer messenger bag or backpack?
>>4304623Almost exactly what I do. I carry an extra lens and a spare battery in this little bag I got at Target
>>4304515I'm still using my old Kata sling and it works a treat for just one body and a couple of lenses. Biggest downside is the lack of a dedicated water bottle pouch, but I just carabiner one on. Top compartment has plenty of space for all your accessories and it also has a rain cover.
So if I understand correctly, it's not the camera gear or composition of the photograph that makes a good photo nowadays. It doesn't even matter how bad your snap shits are. Not even the quality of SOOC needs to be of value. The entire image is dependant on your photo editing skills entirely, better yet color grading skills.>Just like this dude, you can take any shitty picture and turn them in to master pieces.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpwMlDtqbK4>Here her portraits are amazing but are only really elevated one she applies color grading.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC8ol2-V7Ck
>>4299589I shoot manual ISO aperture priority with an AEL button handy and exposure compensation rather than shutter speed as the third control. It's like shooting all manual, but for people with better shit to do.

I hope just posting some photos like this is not against the rules because I don't see other threads like this but I also think it's too many pictures to post into the general threads.I haven't taken photos in a while so I am going by instict and I would not be surprised if these are all pointless but I would still appreciate feedback even if it's all negative to know what kind of direction I should go.
>>4302510nothing here seems very interesting or pleasant visually or in terms of subject. >>4301747 is at least punchy with the color and contrast, but the composition seems meh. anyways, this board is generally not interested in photos and you should count yourself lucky that the average /p/ moron hasn't polluted your thread with a reply. 90% of your replies would something like >building corners. in the thread that i filled to image limit, none of the comments were meaningful or useful. none showed signs that the poster had even looked at my pictures.

>>4301749>>4301747I like the zigzag angles in these pictures>>4301757the light in this reminds me of bladerunnerBut a lot of the pictures have more of a vibe rather than a subject or a particular purpose (maybe they were just practice pictures), which is fine but not particularly interesting (it's kind of like background music but for photos).

It's my birthday. I wanna treat myself to a telephoto lens mainly for landscapes for my OM-4Ti.Since I'm on a budget I'm deciding between the 85-250mm f/5.0 zoom and the 300mm f/4.5 or 200mm f/4.0.Any thoughts? I've never shot landscapes with a telephoto before and never owned such a long prime either. Actually I don't own any zoom lenses anymore since I've sold my digital camera years ago.[EXIF data available.

>>4302281IQ won't be any better with primes because of haze, humidity and pollution, and you'll be forced into cropping a lot to get desired framing. Faster aperture may come handy at times, but not enough to offset other negatives. There are some truly trashy zooms around, so research them a bit before purchase.

am i stupid or is it borderline indistinguishable when using a black mist filter? i shoot film and i havent developed any shots using it yet, but in the viewfinder shots look barely different with vs without. is it just in the viewfinder that it looks no different or is this a skill issue?
>>4305867The point is you don't really notice it except in situations with point light sources or strong backlighting. It's meant to be borderline indistinguishable. Just a little light funky sauce ladled on top of your photo.
>>4305869yeah but when i test it out by pointing the cam at a street light or something i can only barely see a bigger cloud of light from it
>>4305871Correct. What do you want it to do? There are heavier diffusion filters out there. And heavier strengths of BPM. Get a star filter or faux anamorphic flare filter if you really want to see some shit.

>>4305722That's called a free market economy. The business is just as free to discontinue its product as the consumer is to no longer engage with that business for failing to provide the product they require.

>>4305739No, nigger.That's not a free market economy.A free market would allow a third party to go "Hey ____ distontinued their hugely popular product, wow, there's a total void in the market. Let's produce something to fill the demand!"What we have now, in the DEI Hire States of Muttmerica, is that original company that made something can choose to stop making whatever it is and PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST anyone who wants to even try to meet the demand.The law has failed us. This isn't capitalism. This is capitalism with extra steps, and all the extra stuff is poison.The current world in Muttmerica has made any true competition illegal. Consumers lose.
