Autofocus was a fucking mistake

>>4129031
Welcome to 2023, old man

>>4129031
Autofocus is fine. Pentax DSLRs and cheap canons just have notoriously slow and inaccurate autofocus.

It doesn't help that most pentax lenses are really soft

>>4129031
this. just git gud

>>4129031
my sony nails focus every time

I shoot real estate with:
Nikon D800
Nikon 14-24 2.8 and 24-70 2.8
Tripod
Dji mavic 3
AD200PRO

I dont usually use any filters but sometimes a cpl is a lifesaver. Usually just two exposures with the sevond one -1 2/3 EV comp and then blend the shit in photoshoo if needed. Flash comes handy when customer wants more accurate colors and white balance overall.

>A fast 21mm equivalent with minimal distortion being the widest lens without unnatural perspective.
That would be a 28mm, 24mm on FF already gives skewed corners. Though I never used high end primes for that wide angle since I don't shoot much wides and my cheap zooms are more than capable.

This is the least distorted UWA lens I've ever seen. Well worth it considering it's only $100 more than the inferior nikon, the canon equivalent isn't even in the same league, and the inferior pentax equivalent is $1400.

My favorite thing about focal reducers is the ability to turn lenses parfocal.

>>4128056
Really? That would be very useful for video.

>>4125203
I put a speed booster on my penis and now it shines with Leica 3D Pop

>>4125203
Seems like it'd be better just to invest that money in a better lens. I'm an idiot who doesn't know anything about photography though.

>>4125249
is this the brand that sold a million shitters on the catalog pages of seedy sellers in the photography magazines or am I thinking of something else?

fwiw I like my Tokina lens a lot

There are some benefits to it, though. The colors and look of some cameras are unique and have a special feel to them.

>>4128864
true, minidv has a certain unmatched softness, different from hi8 or vhs

>>4126312
>tapes eaten
obviously this is a problem with the tape mechanism itself, not the camera. With these camcorders it's typically the tape deck that goes bad because it's really complex.

I would first eject the tape and have a look inside. I'm not super familiar with video tapes and helical scan heads but in my cassette decks typically I can reach the rollers and stuff with a q-tip and clean them.

tapes get eaten for various reasons. It could be the rubber degrading, bad belts, or even a magnetized head. Cleaning the visible transport rollers might fix it. demagnetizing the head (properly, look this up) can also help. I'm not sure how bad replacing belts on these could be but I can only assume it's very hard.

Worst case the tape deck isn't worth fixing, but you can probably figure out a way to string some video cables and adapters together and put a mini DVR on it and use it as a tapeless camcorder.

>>4129117
It sounds like anon is viewing in-camera, not on a different tape deck

>>4129120
anon, the camera has a built in tape deck. That's why it's called a camcorder, it's a camera with a tape recorder attached. I know he's using the built in VCR--and that's what it is, a VCR. If anon can work on VHS decks then the videocassette mechanism in a camcorder will be familiar to him.

So basically it's still the tape mechanism ON the camera that is at fault, and since most cameras have a video output port, you can just bypass the tape entirely.

I have a Hi8 camcorder I'm looking into doing this with. It actually does work and I have tapes for it but it'd be a better long term solution if I could figure out a good and not too bulky setup for going from S-Video out to a small DVR.

>>4129042
Mad cuz its the truth

In 2023, you shoot film, phone, or sony.

>>4129038
> Is Canon EOS 2000 a good starting camera?
Outdated, but dirt cheap, don't pay over 100 bucks for it. Most people try out the hobby and get bored with it, so at least you won't invest too heavily in it if this is your first camera.

>Is there a better option/more advanced camera now?
Yes, but you probably won't need one for this purpose. Just use a tripod, set ISO100 and the aperture to somewhere in the middle.

if you where to get a better canon than the EOS 2000 what would you suggest? I would also like to make a low budget short film later as well. My camera budget is around 1k usd.

As for miniature picture, I would def use continued lighting like picture related.

>>4129110
At 1k either you are going to buy a stolen camera, a broken camera, or something worse than a phone.

>>4129124
well what canon camera could I get? I could spend a little more, I just would like the image to be better than a EOS 2000.

>This data cements Sony shooters as the ones most passionate, they're not buying a shitty body and kit lens combo, they're buying expensive lenses, by the bucket full.
You forget that serious Canon owners have a full collection of top notch EF glass. Buying Sony generally means buying new glass because even the best adapters are less than perfect. Throw an EF L lens on RF and it works as if it was native because at the protocol level, it basically is.

Sony could take the #1 spot from Canon because Canon is fucking up on 3rd party lenses, which reduces the appeal of their system. But lens sales don't prove that's happening. You have to look at body sales. I haven't jumped to RF yet because the R5 is ~$4k with accessories just to match what I already own (5Ds) in terms of IQ. But if I bought one tomorrow, I wouldn't buy a single RF lens. At this moment in time RF L glass does not surpass what I own in IQ, only in minor feature enhancements (such as the 70-200 being collapsible). There are exceptions, like the f/1.2L primes, but few pros use those.

tl;dr - a lot of RF body buyers are using their existing EF glass which still stands toe-to-toe with anything from Canon, Sony, or Nikon.

>>4129093
Sony is more for people who have a lot of vintage film glass and are going pro or doing huge prints with modern gear given that doing the same with film is $75 a shot. Sony is for the man who is never attached to his digital gear because digital is for high end work and film is for fun.

>>4129099

Josef Koudelka, I like their work during the Prague Spring in 1968. It's admirable they shot only worrying about themselves, capturing because they felt it was necessary. How they managed to compose great photos in the heat of the moment.
