Leicafags are an interesting species.This is a thread to try and comprehend the minds of these consumerist retards.Their subreddit, the premier place for Leica fans, has a rule explicitly stating that any photos need to "demonstrate a skill or technique that is incredibly difficult to execute correctly, has not been seen before, or both"All the photos in the subreddit do not fit this idiotic criteria, yet are lauded.99% of the posts there are about people buying gear instead of photos.They care more about being seen with a Leica than actually using it.
>>4306106>Leica>CompetitionTheir lenses are objectively mediocre, in nearly every way, and there is not one quantifiable metric you can come up with to "spot the leica". Even the color transmission is so inconsistent as to be brandless.A lens is good, or it is not, after copy variation. Brandfagging lenses is a waste of time other than the fact that fujinon lenses seem to have a habit of breaking. I used to shop around for fuji gear before going mirrorless and fuji was up there among the ones most likely to yield half a page of parts only listings, something more typical of gear from the 90s.
>>4306044yea that's a pretty good value i think. iq 9000 /p/ post
>>4306107People have been fooled by my fake rolex daytona for 3 years now ahahahahahaChina making feicas when? They must know how. They make snoys and probably make most of leica’s parts.
>>4306120>leica lenses are mediocreleica, voigt, nikon and zeiss are the only 4 manufacturers who CONSISTENTLY made god tier lenses from 1930's til today(besides MF manufactures and cine shit)
>>4306322All 4 of these consistently released horribly bad lenses as well but if you're a fanboy it's a soulful lens and if you're not a fanboy it's a bad one with a brandfag markup
which one would be the best one to go for, more to the point I'm making here is which one would you say stands out the most as being the one that has the best performance in most of it's functions and settings?[EXIF data available.

>>4296582Great combo. Get the panny 35-100 f2.8 and you won't need more in the years to come.
>>4296582>Same price and size as an a7c+40mm f2.5 with a softer, slower, larger, heavier lens.Same WR too, because olympus doesn't build the -5s to the -1s standards. I find it easier to locate a parts only olympus -5 or -10 camera than a -1 camera with WR related failures like glitchy screens, ports, and buttons.Get literally anything else, you're overspending to gain almost nothing over an e-m5 and 17mm.
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.

>>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.

>>4305890Man you really have an eye for subjects as you snapshit them once and walk awayOne exposure one motive is a lie. Stop doing that.
>>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.
