What do you guys think about APS-H? I just picked up a camera which uses it.
>about 50% more surface area than APS-C
>enables faster readout times than full frame
>larger photo-sites than a similar megapixel full frame
>better dynamic range than APS-C
>lots of APS-C lenses' image circle will cover an APS-H sensor
The only downside is needing to check the lenses yourself to ensure compatibility. It is truly the best of all worlds.

Canon is 1.6x, also you're dividing an area quantity by a linear one. 61MP/1.6/1.6 is 23.82, which gives you roughly the 80D (unsurprising given that they have almost the same pixel size).

>you're dividing an area quantity by a linear one. 61MP/1.6/1.6
I'll have to think about this, I'm not sure this setup is correct. Because we're not trying to figure out the new area, we're just interested in the number of pixels that remains. If Canon's crop is 1.6. That means the sensor is 60% smaller or 40% of the area of FF. So you would only need to reduce the number of MP by 60%, not 60% twice. If you wanted to caluclate the dimensions of the sensor, you would reduce both the width and length by that amount.
>>
>>4294922
That's how it works. MFT has a crop factor of 2 because the linear dimensions are approx half of FF (discounting aspect ratio differences). I.e. you could fit 2 MFT lengths on a FF length and ditto for height. With that in mind, if you overlay a MFT sensor on a FF sensor, you realize that you could fit 4 MFT sensors on a FF sensor.
>>
>>4294922
>you would reduce both the width and length by that amount.
And the area (which governs the number of pixels) is length*width. That's where the "reduce by 60% twice" comes from. Once for length, and once for width.
>>
I have an M43 camera exclusively for video, and I'm using a speedbooster so I can use lenses from my FF collection. My particular speedbooster cuts the crop ratio from 2x to about 1.28x, which is almost APS-H lens coverage (but it's still being recorded on fucking M43, lol).

I really want to do a photography project, or post my work somewhere. but I'm not really sure where.


Instagram, 500px, and flickr seem to be typically where to post online but I worry my works would just be stolen and reposted for money.
I would self host but there i know it would get no traffic.
I could also go the Zine route....well, actually I'd love to do that for fun.

edit the exif so it says $some_micro_four_thirds_camera and then post them to the m43 thread. also post some inflammatory comment to make sure people look at your image. change your opinions often so people assume your schizophrenic/mentally ill - this gives extra exposure

Sometimes, I like to upload FF pics while pretending it shot on M43 just for shits. You can't do it the other way around though, there's just not enough detail or depth to properly fake it.

I recently bought a Beseler Topcon Auto 100 from a antique mall. The camera included a 60's leather case and 3 different lenses. Though the listing at the mall said working, the camera was not able to fire.

After a bit of tinkering, I found multiple internal problems with the camera. However I was out of my element and unable to fix said problems.

Have any of yall had experience with this camera? I've found some cheap "working" listings online. If you know much about this model, would it be worth the trouble to further pursue a working model to match my new lenses and case or is it a lost cause?

Not worth the time, money and effort. Sell it as a parts unit and try to find another.

I figured out why my pics come out like this, the aperture control is broken and they're all taken at f22. I know I paid almost nothing for this camera but I'm sad it's dead, it was the first camera i've owned in probably 20 years. debating if I should just buy another zx-50 considering how cheap they are, any other suggestions?

it's the camera, the aperture squints down when you press the shutter but it always closes all the way regardless of what I have set on the camera. I did just figure out a workaround though, the aperture works properly when I set it on the lens itself, but the body cant tell what the aperture is set at to meter properly so what I can do is set it to aperture priority or manual, meter the shot, and then set the lens on the correct setting. It's slower but at least it works.

This is from infojd.ru. Sergei Bolashenko took down the site after Russian zoomers mocked him online for "racism" against Central Asians. Ironically, some of the most sincere photography of the former Soviet Union that I've ever seen. The guy was a train autist, and had a poorly-organized website with travelogues of him taking every Soviet line he could find still operational, and when not, he would hike along them for documentation purposes. Thousands of photos. These are some of the ones I've saved. Unfortunately, my Russian is less than rudimentary, so I haven't been able to glean much more.

If you are looking at Eggleston's work on a screen it doesn't make a difference. What made his colors special is that he used a unique dye-transfer process for his prints which allowed for a wider color gamut than a typical print. They were supposedly impressive when viewed in person.

In trying to find a reason to care about photography, shit like this does not help. Just because you made a fucking image does not mean everyone else needs to see it. As a collage of visual elements, the vertical aqua green gradient against the blue horizontal gradient is enough. The decision to include the powerlines is the only question and it's not worth listening to the answer, because the red diagonal is so predictable it fills me with mild irritation and such lethargy I can't even care enoug

I have news for you... inkjet printers are actually dye transfer print machines. You've seen a gazillion dye transfer prints. This was a novelty, specifically a tech demo, in its day but true art endures and doesn't need explanations about the state of fucking printing technology to be good.

Imagine praising a photographer because he was the first to suck enough dicks to have the first XXXXmegapixel photo in a "fine" "art" gallery.

modern inkjets have a wider gamut and can replicate dye transfer prints perfectly ffs.

it wasnt just a tech demo it was trying to add a layer of craftsmanship (marketing) to worthless snapshits because large dye transfer prints were done by hand.

Probably better to think of ISO as relative to the camera body, as an expression of gain on the sensor for that specific body. Note, ISO 50 on most FF cameras is an 'extended' ISO same as ISO 25600, 51200, etc. That means highlights or shadows are significantly less recoverable.

Most m43 cameras have ISO 100 as an option, and in ISO 100, if you clip a highlight, it's not coming back.

Deer, about 2 and a half years.

I thought about this. One day, I heard on the radio: "The students of the future will study history in the metaverse." And okay. It's just that then, with AI, they started making fake photos, even with albumin effect, and well made; a few days later on IG, I saw a video of Churchill giving a speech in 1942 against Hitler, denouncing the horror of the concentration camps. It was fake, shot and dubbed through AI. So I thought: what kind of history will the students of the future study in the metaverse? Real, or fake? Very 1984. So I decided to look for real vintage photos, from the mid-1800s to the 1950s, mostly candid shots, mostly private, therefore without surviving negatives. They are images of the real world of the past, without historical or imaginative filters. I scanned them and turned them into NFTs because I believe blockchain technology is the only one - by its nature - that can unite the various metaverses of the future. So these images will survive the continuous and relentless cyclical destruction of paper. I also requested export permission from the Italian State: under Italian law, a country of art, it is illegal to take photos printed more than 25 years old out of the national borders without an export license. So I made NFTs with full intellectual property rights. However, I have the original paper photos from which the scans derive, and upon request, I can send them to the owner of the NFT along with the export license. The recipient of the photograph can decide whether to keep it or destroy it, whether to own a physical or an NFT... but in any case, the image of the real world will survive forever on the blockchain.

>blockchain
There are multiple blockchains and should the one you picked disappear so will the photos. Besides, who guarantees you didn't slip some fakes into the mix? I suppose you haven't but I'm just explaining the conceptual flaw I'm finding. Digitalization of antiques is sometimes the only way to preserve them and make them available at the same time, archives all over the world do that (often ran by museums and libraries but not exclusively). But the cloud is just someone else's computer and we don't know if some day someone will find a way to trim old stuff from the blockchain for example.
>>
Ok. Thank you. So, regarding fakes, they couldn't exist because I always have all the photos screened by state experts first. I only didn't do it for one photo because I took it in France, where there's no need for an export license under a certain threshold value... But it was a single experiment, not to be repeated.

Regarding the blockchain and cloud discourse, you're right, there are variables to consider, and currently, we don't have certainty that they will continue to exist. However, we have technological plans related to AI that anticipate their evolution. That's why I've chosen a blockchain close to Ethereum (Polygon, one of its layer 2 solutions): I believe that if there's going to be a next evolution/revolution, the blockchains involved first will be BTC and ETH because they are considered the pioneers and handle the highest volume of information-transactions.

I wouldn't even entertain the idea of a potential massive or total destruction of digital data, cloud, etc., for obvious reasons: in that case, it would be an apocalyptic event...

Only physical things have value. You are buying into hype related to a speculation bubble. I understand it is more difficult to collect and preserve real things, but oh well, you're a kid, that's why we have rich adults running shit like the library of congress.
>omg guys cryptographically signed state authenticity certificate!
It's not necessarily real. At least you can date physical things. Digital things are arbitrary, it's an honor system. All digital systems are exploitable. There is no such thing as secure and authentic digital communication. Sorry.

Blockchain is fundamentally built on immutability, serving its core purpose. It emerged to bring a sense of seriousness and authority to the web, serving as a natural evolution to fortify the internet's structure for future advancements. The only potential scam within such an immutable environment as blockchain might exploit temporal speed, such as rapid financial gains through online trading.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer a kid. I have a PhD in ancient topography and a collection of thousands of ancient photographs. I am well aware of the issues related to preservation, with some non-specialized knowledge in conservation restoration and archival matters. It is precisely for this reason that I believe it may not be sufficient to preserve images of the real world from the past solely by keeping them on their original paper support. In theory, it's too risky.

Tell me, have you ever looked at the face, the expression, of one of your great-grandparents? There are archives of photos from archaeological excavations, but are there archives of everyday life photos, not artistically rendered? Archives of ordinary people, in short, of real life?

In fact, this is an experiment, albeit quite tedious. My only enjoyment in this? That I personally choose what to input into the blockchain and what not to: this, perhaps, is the only filter that could make the real unreal because - due to subjective inclination - it would tend to sugarcoat it. Do you know where I really messed up? Releasing a project like this after the burst of a global economic bubble ahahahah. Don't apologize, there's no need.

I have no further thoughts on your project other than "I like it." I hope it works out in the long run, but only time will tell.

my main hesitation is that the xt30 is just objectively more functional, has a built in flash, more dials and a usable grip whereas the e4 seems to need one.

trading all this just for muh rangefinder shape, am I retarded?

I've never seen any appeal in the two-digit X-T line. if I was going to get another fuji camera, I'd want an X-Pro or an X-T single digit series. built in flash is something I don't care about, you can easily add a cheap flash if you want one. I think the X-E4 has enough dials, but I think the extra dials in the X-T single digit series are cool as well. but that's a bigger camera so you're trading size for cool dials. I do use the thumb grip in my X-E4, but I don't feel like it needs the grip extension that screws into the baseplate. I don't have any issue holding it with one hand, because the lenses I use with it are never heavy.
also obviously I like the rangefinder inspired / offset viewfinder form factor so I'm not going to think you're retarded for also wanting it.

Are there any chances fuji could add similar manual focus features as the nikon zf has in this big upcoming firmware update? I would just switch to manual focus lens in an instant. I love manual focus but for whatever reason it sucks on fuji lenses, for example on my 33mm 1.4 and I especially hate focus peaking

xe4 + 18mm f2. vs 27mm/2.8 - slightly bigger, no wr, slightly weaker iq, but more flexible all around. more common filter size, focuses closer, wider aperture. wider fl better for capturing people near you in social situations
>>4298404
if you're going to get a camera for practical purposes but you hate how it looks, better not designate that one the edc camera.
what i do is use an xt3 for work and to fill in roles when a smaller camera is impractical or when i'm about to do some sort of planned shoot. and i take a compact or an xpro or leica m (or xe4/x100 when i had those) for casual everyday shootin

>I've never seen any appeal in the two-digit X-T line.
Meh, I've owned both an X-T2 and X-E3 yet my X-T30 makes full sense to me. If not for advanced users they at least make complete and full sense for first time buyers and I also believe them to be the best purchase to people without specific needs.

I'd like to know if the VF-2 is compatible with the Pen E-PL1 Micro Camera?

thank you

I have a PEN Mini. Got knocked out of my hand and hit the floor hard, The old 50mm glass and adapter ring I had on it certainly helped to ensure the impact. The camera body bent, battery door broke off, and shutter fired continuously for a few seconds.
But after that, it worked just fine. In fact even after getting another Mini, I continued to use it. Though after a couple years, the jog wheel on it has gotten a little jittery.

Stop being poor and get a snoy A1. Anything else is settling.

OP
I just wanna inform you about something important
Most bridge cameras are a scam. They are utter garbage that cannot take photographs, only produce snapshits.

Don't buy anything that can't shoot RAW.
If you ever take a nice photo, you'll regret not having a RAW once you learn how braindead easy it is to use them.

Some bridge cameras can save RAWs, but most won't. Shop smart.
Die on this hill.
Let RAW support or lack of it be deciding factor.

Once you find a camera that interests you, look up the lens fun database on github and look for supported cameras/lenses, if your bridge camera can shoot RAW and has lens corrections for distortion, tca, and vignetting, you can produce distortion free, chromatic abberation corrected, and vignette free images at much higher quality than the shitty JPEGs a JPEG only one would produce and you will obviously have the benefits of choosing your white balance after shooting.

Shoot RAW+JPEG, use the JPEGs if you want, and keep the RAWs in case. RAW might be scary for a beginner but it's actually easy and once you "get it" you will love having years of old photos with RAWs vs having years of photos without them.

>bridge cameras are a scam
This is utter bullshit. I'm still using my Canon PowerShot SX50HS and I love it.Takes great images, zooms to 1,200mm (35mm equivalent) and yeah, of course it shoots raw.
>>
>>4295796
You've got a bridge cam that do RAW, not all do. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Trust me, it's not bullshit. If you ever shop for a new bridge cam, just do a double take on the spec sheet to confirm whether or not it can shoot RAW before placing an order.

Here's one example.
>Nikon Coolpix P900
No RAW support.
No third party hack tool like CHDK to even get it (that I'm aware of)
This is a bad camera.

>Nikon Coolpix P1000
This one has RAW support.
This makes it okay.

Years ago before Smartphones all had RAW photo support, it was rare for anything but ILC/DSLRs to offer RAWs. One of the ways the camera companies got people to upgrade FROM bridge cameras was specifically gating RAW into their much more expensive ILC bodies, so that people who wanted control over the basics like white balance/etc would have to upgrade from the cheap versatile wide angle to ultra zoom telephoto single fixed lens budget device that they were otherwise happy with.

I have TZ100, nice lens quality, zoom is superb, small and pocketable. Video probably good, haven't used. Slippery and terrible buttons and interface though.

I also have G7XM2, which is fun to shoot and intuitive to use. Great f/1.8 lens, which takes great photos in low light. Zoom is not as good as in TZ100, and photos are slightly softer. No idea about video either.
