>>3788234 here, bringing it up again because I got basically no input in the last thread.

I'm at a crossroads, friends. Do I replace my trusty D200 with a D610 or a D7200? Or do I buy a used equivalent canon (don't know much about them, though the lenses seem to be better at the expense of camera sensors, 6D?) or an A7/A7R with an adapter even?

I mainly shoot as a side hobby, I take pictures of landscapes when I travel, cars, planes at airshows, the occasional birds. What I'm really interested in is having more dynamic range and low light sensitivity because I really like interesting lighting and contrasty scenes. Bracketing usually does the trick, but there are a lot of scenarios where bracketing is just too slow and having an extra stop or two of dynamic range would help. Unfortunately I'm an engineer, so I get really hung up on specs and test results. Sites like DXOMark are like crack to me and I get analysis paralysis. So please help me out you judgemental bastards, many of you also are mildly autistic and your input will be valuable to me.

>>3789082
>a good 18-55mm on a good APSC sensor?
I'm not aware of any good 18-55mm lenses, at least when you're using performance relative to the 24-70s available for full frame use as the comparative criteria. It's one of the primary things that makes me want to switch to full frame; the availability of fast 24-70 range standard zooms that aren't soft or filled with CA.

You've got to pay more for that. It's a *very* expensive feature to implement. Those Casio digital wristwatches were actually subsidized by the government. When you take away the subsidy, it's like $1000 in parts per watch. Granted, the LCD is just one part, but still like $500 for just that part.

The X-E2 is a great compact camera and works perfectly with my 35mm f2. The viewfinder is a bit weak after using an X-T3 but it’s worth it for the compactness.

Hi, should I get a fuji xe3? I want to take super sharp pics, I was thinking of buying the lens Fuji 23mm f/1.4.

Would that lens work with any fuji camera?

>>3789741
Like how do I decide the body? It seems all pictures are equally good.

>>3789741
xe3 is very nice for its price point
pleasantly compact with a competent sensor and great battery life (in my experience, at least)
sharpness is dependent on the lens, so look towards reviews for that
any fuji x series lens is compatible with any fuji x series camera, the xf lenses are their "premium" range

>>3789611
>>3789670
Depends on why you want it. Since you want it for a subjective reason and a dubious reason I'd say no. I would, however, check it out in person and *directly* compare it to a contemporary such as a D600/610. You will find that the Df is barely more compact, and what makes a D600 bigger is the grip and flash. If compact and boxy looks are your priorities, you'd be better off with an A7R than a Df. But if having a new camera that looks old is your priority, there is no other option honestly. I like the Df because it looks cool and performs well but for anything other than looks it is a terrible value considering a nice used Df sells for almost twice what a nice used D610 does.

for clarification, I currently have a D3500 and some lenses that I'm fairly happy with, but I live in a rainy area and am looking to get something I can use comfortably in such conditions. I've gotten a quote on my kit from KEH, so I'm using that + a few hundred bucks to get my price point

>>3790124
Do you want lenses too for under $1000? You can do a lot less than that if you go with a Pentax and some of their weather sealed zooms. I carried my K-5 II with kit lens through many a rain storms while hiking. Olympus also seems to play up the weather sealing of their cameras, but they are MFT, so I'd avoid that garbage. The chad move would be to get yourself a used 5D Mark II for $450 and an EF 24-105mm f/4L for $450. Spend the leftover $100 on beer.

thanks for the detailed answer, I'll check out the Pentax system. Your idea with the Canon 5D is a good one, but I generally don't like the Canon ergonomics and UI; I've borrowed friends' Canons before and something about them doesn't really click with me, I'm not sure what exactly.

>>3790137
Fellow (former) Nikon user who doesn't like Canon ergonomics as much, definitely check Pentax out. It's like the perfect symbiosis between Canon and Nikon. You get a shorter flange, awesome weather sealing, backwards compatibility and great ergonomics. Plus IBIS.

>>3790137
>>3790138
Pentax is cute as fuck, but it is not as good as Canon. Especially a 5DII. I can’t tell you how many mis-metered, mid-white-balanced, out of focus or shutter-shocked (as a result of the shifty IBIS) photos I got shooting Pentax. Canon is popular because it just works. You may have some sort of weird hang up about using a popular camera. It makes you feel like less of the special snowflake your mother assured you that you were. But seriously, we all need to grow up sometime. Get over yourself and get a Canon.

>>3790144
I have a Canon fulll frame but it makes me miss my Nikon in terms of ergonomics. The grip is too shallow. I have no experience with Pentax cameras but absolutely in love with the concept.
What Pentax do you have? I'm impressed by what Eggy achieves with his camera.
Canon is popular because it's way ahead of the competition when it comes to video and AF. Magic Lantern alone is reason enough. Then there's the lens adaptability thing. If Nikon is type O negative of the lens world, Canon is the type AB positive. One is the universal donor, the other can take from everyone else. If I could have the ergonomics of Nikon on my Canon I'd gladly take them. Same with the lack of pattern noise, when I push my Canon I get banding. If Pentax was as good as Canon for video or if I didn't care about video I'd have bought a Pentax instead. The K-70 seems awesome.

>>3790151
Lens adapting is a retarded meme. Just use native lenses. Wtf is wrong with you? And no, Canon is popular because their native lenses are so good. Not because of magic lantern or any other 2011 memes. God damn, you’re stupid.

It's a studio camera.

The kitlens 15-45mm is a lot more compact than the XF 18-55mm but it's also plastic shit. At some point you have to accept you can't make things like zoom lenses even more compact.

>>3790257
>It’s such a shame that camera companies can’t produce a DSLR the size of a film SLR.
What kind of film SLR? If you compare a DSLR to a late model film SLR with automatic advance and built in flash and AF they're pretty much the same size. If you compare it to a compact manual advance manual focus SLR like an AE1 sure it's going to be bigger, there's practically nothing in an AE1 compared to a DSLR.

>Or just a digital module that you can bolt on.
It has been tried many times. It's not commercially viable.

>>3789154
If low light performance is a big factor then you are going to do best by getting in the D750/D780/Z6/Z6ii vein of Nikon's line.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. What's your insight into the difference between a D750 and a D610? The differences in low light performance between a D750 and D610 seem negligible to me, looking at test images and dxomark (pretty much every comparison is like this, no significant difference). For such a seemingly insignificant difference, I'd rather put the extra $3-400 toward a lens, since with the D610 I was planning to buy a 28-70 f2.8 VR, 70-200 f2.8 VR and 200-500mm VR. Either way, I'm planning to divest entirely of my DX camera and lenses. As for D780 and Z6, well outside of the range of what I want to spend on just a body.

Good point. Although given that mirror less bodies come really small and include all of those things, I feel like DSLRs could be smaller if they had the same investment as mirrorless.

>Although given that mirror less bodies come really small and include all of those things
>all of those things

Are you kidding right now? Mirrorless bodies don't have the mirror or its mechanisms, pentaprism, usually no built in flash. No mirror or its mechanism means things it does have in common with a DSLR can be put where the mirror mechanism would be. No mirror means flange to sensor distance can be made smaller because the mirror angle must be 45° and its dimensions are dictated by the size of the sensor, increasing depth of the body. EVF is a lot more compact than a pentaprism, no flash means no big capacitor, bulb or reflector/optics. If you made a DSLR with the exact parts that came out of this a7 you'd have to add a pentaprism in place of the EVF, a mirror, its mechanism, its motor, and an AF sensor array. Adding the mirror will make the distance from flange to sensor larger, adding the pentaprism will make the camera taller, adding the motor and mechanism will displace other components outward and make the camera thicker or wider, etc.

The pentaprism, mirror and mechanism are able to be squeezed into an Olympus OM2 sized body made in the 80s. I’m sure DSLRS could be a lot smaller than they are now. Just bang together an OM2 wit the electronics of a M43s. Easy.
Battery is a big space user though I give you that.

>The pentaprism, mirror and mechanism are able to be squeezed into an Olympus OM2 sized body made in the 80s.
No AF motor, no AF sensors, a mechanical shutter, no built in flash, no sensor and associated circuit board (much thicker than film), no memory card slots, no usb connectors, rudimentary light metering, a battery the size of a coin, no optical viewfinder adjustment. Take a film SLR apart sometime, the mechanical shutter is a wonder to behold, beautifully engineered and miniaturized, but there just isn't that much inside of the camera. A light metering circuit that a first year EE student can design, a couple of wonderfully complex mechanisms for the shutter and mirror lift, and the gears which advance the film and the exposure number indicator. Most of the camera is empty space without a roll of film in it, and a roll of film takes up a lot less space than a decently sized battery, a sensor, an image processing board, a memory card board, an AF sensor array, etc. Common components like the mirror and pentaprism are of fixed dimensions governed by physics and the size of the sensor, an APSC mirror is fairly small, but a FF mirror is bigger, the mirror must sit at 45° to the sensor plane to direct light upward, setting a minimum size requirement for the space between flange and sensor, the APSC camera can't reduce this distance unless it is to use dedicated lenses.

Compactness is a huge selling point for cameras, Sony leans heavily on the compactness and light weight of its mirrorless offerings. Do you think all the marketers and bean counters and engineers just ignore the opportunity to sell the most compact SLR because they don't want to try hard enough and make it smaller? Modern entry level DSLRs are fucking tiny btw, they're easily as small as the compact AF SLRs of the '90s.

printing and developing and making a photograph tangible is arguably one of the most over-looked and skipped steps in the photographic process.

>>3790171
Sony doesn't do ProRes, so it's a non-starter.
BMPCC4K is Cinema camera, the A7 is not.

I'm moving to Japan soon and buying a motorbike to travel, I want to buy one camera for night photography and mainly city snaps but possibly some nature ones but not worried about that

What should I go for?

I don't want to carry more than I have to

>>3790786
Sounds like Ricoh GR II to me (don't get the III, it has no flash).
Canon G1X III is a viable option too if you prefer a zoom lens.
Avoid Fuji like the plague, if doing night photography the worm noise will be accentuated.

What lens should I buy next after the Sigma 18-35 for my Nikon D7200 ?

>>3790799
That's an unfortunate question. You need to provide more context. Are you trying to be more versatile or more specialized? Because if the former, some telephoto zoom like a 70-300. Also are you buying DX lenses or do you prefer to get FX for a future upgrade?

>>3790786
i ride a bmw k1300r and a husqvarna nuda 900r, and i use a fuji x-h1 (sorry >>3790787). for travel usually the 27mm f/2.8 is bolted on, or the 16mm f/1.4. hired a r1200gs for japan schlepping with my girl on the back.
what do you mean by night photography? if you want a camera that can basically be a night vision goggle, you'll need a big sensor with big heavy glass in front of it. for travel that fucking sucks, especially on a motorcycle. carrying around a buky kit like that in high-vibration backpack or panniers means you'll never use it, and you'll miss opportunities. when i review my motorcycle journeys they're mostly gopro videos or a shitty pocket pentax point+shoot because its so portable.
this is where something like >>3790787 makes sense. if it's in a pocket or tankbag, you'll actually use the fucking thing often.

>>3790803
I'm thinking of switching to Z-mount by 2023-2024 so I'll probably buy FX
To be fair,I only do portraits these days so maybe a cheap 50 1.8D and a zoom like the old 80-200 should the trick
maybe even the 24-120

There's also the XF 50mm f2. It's not a bokeh machine though.
Also some argue the XF 90mm f2 is better than the 56mm at portraits.

However your best bet is the Viltrox 56mm f1.4

>>3790308
Then for Fuji I would say there is no other lens good as the XF56mm. Look for some example photos on flickr. It looks pretty amazing and I'm thinking of buying a Fuji camera just because of that lens.

>>3790903
XF 16mm f1.4 is the real "muh fooji magic" lens.

>>3790904
owning both, yes, and there is some fantastic portrait work done at 24mm equiv, but the average photographer and average client are bokeh whores who think the most important part of a photo is the out-of-focus backgrounds.
i prefer the 90mm for portraiture

>>3790910
Oh I wasn't argueing from the perspective of portrait just pointing out that other than the 56mm being given magical abilities the XF 16mm is also seen as a special lens.

I bought an x-e2 and a 18-55 lens. Wish me luck, boys!

Speaking of canon vs nikon comparison on DXO, I'm in the market for a D800 or 5D III, and I saw this. Now someone told me that this is because dxomark's methodology is biased toward shadows, and the Nikons tend to handle shadows better where you can pull more from the highlights on Canons. Is this true?

You should ignore dxo dynamic range charts completely. Only good dynamic range test is comparison of two raw files side by side of a high dynamic range scene, then doing +5ev and -5ev. Pretty much all the sensors today perform the same.

Anyone have experience with 135mm or 135mm equivalent primes? I've been eyeing one in particular and I liked that it'd half the bulk of a 70-200 while providing better background separation and also being a pseudo macro (0.3x) lens, which I feel like one open a lot of new opportunities without going down the rabbit hole of macro photography. I already have a 70-200 and 85mm but I feel like I leave the 70-200 at home sometimes just because of the bulk. I kinda like the challenge that a fixed focal length brings but I'm just concerned that 135mm might be too restrictive.

>>3791329
>equivalent
fujifag?

>>3791333
Yeah I've got an X-T3 and I was eyeing the 90mm F2.

>>3791337
the xf 90mm f/2 is ironically fuji's sharpest and fastest focusing lens. i wouldn't hesitate at all jumping on it; it keeps its value
there's also a viltrox 80mm f/1.8.

>>3791337
It's like a 135mm f/3 equivalent. Not f/2. Not f/2.8. The reason people buy 135mm primes is for portraits, so having such a gimped ability for subject separation kinda defeats the purpose. As with pretty much every piece of Fuji equipment, it's just overpriced, flashy garbage for low IQ "nerds."

>>3791340
Fuck off, fujishitter.

>>3791342
I agree about the products but this guy already has a Fuji.
90mm F/2 should provide enough subject separation on APS-C.

>>3791342
>deliberately avoid mentioning lens and brand specifics in the question to avoid these kinds of low quality posts and brandfagging

Honestly this board is such fucking trash. Literally the worst of the worst on all 4chan. Entirely brandfagging, tripfag drama and pointless shit flinging and arguing.

>>3791372
Tell you what anon, a f/1.8 50mm provided plenty of separation on a Nikon crop so 90mm f/2 should be decent enough for you. Ignore that guy, he doesn't want to help. Most of the times it's fujifags shitting up the place but you're alright and he's in the wrong (even if he has a point about Fuji gear being objectively inferior for worse prices, you are already in the system so you may as well make as much from it as you can).
Buy used, one of the advantages of Fuji is that prices drop like rocks when used. I don't have that advantage with Canon. You can get the 90mm for under 600 used on eBay.

>>3791342
>gimped ability for subject separation
ah, you're one of those people who only likes 1mm depth of field. where the most important part of a photograph is the out-of-focus background.
it's a telephoto. they naturally have plenty of subject seperation. even my $50 just-for-fun cheapie M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R has more than enough.

>>3791385
>>3791372
Spare me the acrimonious "I'm so wounded by your mean words" routine, fujiscum. I know your tricks.

It is a $950 lens for APS-C.

Nine hundred and fifty federal fucking reserve notes.

Almost a grand. And what do you get....will you get to larp like you're a real portrait photographer using the legendary EF 135mm f/2L? No....no, you will not because the Fuji lens has *more than a full stop less* of subject separation.

The final nail in the coffin? You can get a real 135mm f/2 lens for literally only about $50 more, new. THAT is why people say that Fuji lenses are overpriced.

I've only ever used film cameras, however film is getting pretty expensive so want a digital to do the bulk of my practice with. Current camera is a Nikon F5, so the logical choice is a full frame Nikon F-mount so I don't have to buy extra lenses. I don't know anything about digital sensors or camera functions unique to digital but I do know I want the ergos to carry over as much as possible so it's a seamless change between using either. What's my go-to? 99% of my usage is for shooting motorbikes and cars, both static meets and track days/street racing. Df is attractive for its small size and familiar controls but apart from that I'm not convinced.

Who said you needed a mirrorless camera, though? Sell your Fuji consumerist toys and get yourself a used 5D Mark III ($700ish) and a copy of the EF 135mm f/2L lens and you’ll come out ahead in a lot of ways, including in life.

You’re the one trying to justify spending more on less. The Fuji worms might have had an effect on your brain, fujiscum. Only way to get them out is with an ice pick.

The F5 is more like a DSLR than the SLRs that the DF imitates, two knob setup. I'd recommend something like a D750 with a battery grip to get the same handling. Or a D3S for those sweet 9 FPS, but you lose a bit of resolution and have to use expensive CF cards instead of SDs.

What cameras are you using for AF? It sounds like the problem is either you don’t know how to use your camera or your camera sucks. Mirrorless cameras are capable of nailing focus every time. I guarantee that you are not nailing focus as often as AF would if you knew how to use it.

>>3791616
How do you tell it what to focus on in a tiny screen? lol
I'm nailing focus because I'm seeing the photo before taking it, I fully zoom what I want to focus in the LCD

In case you stupid assholes didn’t get the memo—we only ever had to use manual focus lenses on mirrorless cameras when mirrorless cameras were brand new and there were no lenses available for them. Also, early mirrorless cameras had shitty contrast detect AF. Now there are lots of lenses for every system, and virtually every system has a mature AF implementation. The only reason to still fuck around with focus peaking manual lenses is to literally wear a fedora and feel like a special snowflake.

>How do you tell it what to focus on in a tiny screen?
Have you literally never used a modern camera? Lol, this is sad.

You can pick the focus point manually or the camera can pick it for you. Many cameras can auto detect an eye and focus on that. Yes, I’m sure it sounds like I’m describing space travel to a primitive cave-dweller, but the technology is very easy to use and very accurate. You are just backwards and likely very low IQ.

So you're having the camera guess for you, as I said lol. I've seen stuff like eyeAF and was utterly unimpressed from a photographic point of view. The engineering is neat, though.

Can you take an online IQ test and then take a screenshot of the results? I am honestly curious how dumb you are.

I've done it before, 137.

x-trans is a bayer array, no matter how much you stamp your feed. a bayer array is just an arrangement of rgb pickles on a sensor. the common one is the one on the left. fuji is another. others at the link below. retards.

>>3791646
It's based on Bayer, not Bayer. The article you posted even proves you wrong. It's like claiming an OHC engine is a pushrod engine because it's a modification of the OHV concept.

I really have no hope of contradicting your mother, do I? She told you that you were a special snowflake and you could do anything, and I’m just some rational person who looks at the evidence. What do I know. I just have extensive experience with digital cameras, and you have a lot of wojak images saved on your computer. So I guess that means you win the argument. Good job.

Are there any action cameras without wide FOV/fisheye?

>>3791663
the a7 and a7ii were just so inherently flawed i dont even consider them options. the a7iii and the a7riv are the two cameras sony really managed to nail

>>3791663
I agree to >>3791688 and would add the A7 III has been dramatically improved with firmware upgrades since its release. It is a camera that is almost up to date, even though it has the respective low price of a camera with a release year of 2018.
Sony was not a faggot, desu.

how is olympus pen-f?

>>3791741
Absolutely fantastic. I loved owning it but would recommend having another camera to use in low light.

Hi I'm a newfag sorta used to shoot photos on my old compact camera/ smartphone when i was a lad
A friend of mine suggested i took up a hobby so here I am
Looking at a DC-FZ82 rn. Is it a good pick for a beginner ( my old camera was crap, so It doesn't count). Is it overkill? Is it shit?
Anyway here is a photo i just took with my 48MP (really?) phone, cropped for upload. As you can Tell i like landscapes.

Does anyone where to get 7artisans lenses in Europe? I don't wanna pay custom fees which will 100% happen if I order from ebay.

I want to buy the 35 mm f1.2

Hey P, Im already incested in Canon with some quality lenses but have a shitty entry level body, I want to move up a step, should I buy a 90D thats APSc or go with a FF 6D mark 2.

the 90D basically has all the features I want except FF

>>3791858
Why do you want full frame so much?

>>3791818
Amazon. I'd get Meike f1.4 instead, though. It's halfway usable at f1.4.

>>3791657
No, too ashamed of all the autofocused images with perfect in-focus sharpness. A good photo should be manually focused and definitely not sharp.

>>3791663
My brother got an a7ii and likes the photos he can make with it. He does complain about focus speed at times, though. He was hoping to adapt his Canon lenses, which apparently focus-hunt.

>>3791858
If you’re already at the $1000-1300 price point of the 90D or 6DII, then you really have a lot of options, even with Canon. Used, you could probably afford literally 5D, including the Mark IV. The 5DS went on fire sale recently for only $1500–I don’t know how that had affected used prices, but you might even be able to find it still in stock somewhere. The EOS R and RP are well within your price range, and I only recommend them because the future of Canon will likely be in the RF mount...not to say that the EF mount isn’t already fully mature and already good to go. You might also consider the M6 Mark II as an alternative body with better features than the and a more compact package, but you will have to adapt EF and EF-S lenses because the native lenses suck.

>>3791783
It would be my second camera behind a relatively large nikon. I was eyeing the Olympus because I wanted something I actually could have on myself most of the time and was looking at cute compact mirrorless cameras. How bad is the low light performance?

>>3791783
>>3791954
To add to that, I looked up some satisfactory pics taken at iso 6400, so maybe it can't be that bad?

>>3791954
It might be fine but when I was taking pictures of people at night I was getting bad blur. The IBIS is amazing for still nighttime shots like buildings. I could hand hold 1/2” shots with a 25mm.
All in all I loved the PEN F. It feels great in the hand and the shutter noise is really nice.

Well those are the two most important qualities when picking a camera!!

>>3791974
For me it is. All modern cameras have ample photo quality so for me it’s down to enjoyment and ergonomics. Only spec- obsessed, trite, photographers would disagree.

Found an old Polaroid Automatic 250 Land Camera laying around. I thought it might be a slide-film type of camera (yeah, I'm retarded), but I have never shot film before.
Is there any way to shoot huge, high-res film on this thing? Is the lens too dogshit to care about that? What's the main point of this beefy bastard?

>>3791858
I mostly shoot wildlife and I love my 90D its basically an EF mount mirrorless with a not shit viewfinder and battery life for days.
The only real reason to go full frame is if you want slightly better low light performance or bokeh whoring, the crop factor on APSC is a benefit imo because its much easier and cheaper to get a good wide angle lens for APSC than it is to get a lens that can reach out to 500mm on full frame.

I also considered the R/RP in that price range but they are just rebel tier mirrorless gimped crap.

>>3792053
The rp can resolve more details than the 90d
The 32mp thing is a meme no lens can resolve that much res
Thers a reason every camera maker stopped at 24mp apsc

>>3791974
Yeah like for this guy >>3790079

>>3792077
>32mp thing is a meme no lens can resolve that much res
It's good for tele and especially macro
There are good macro lenses that are sharp enough, and at 1:1, smaller sensor is smaller subject

>>3791860
Why wouldn't he? FF is great, same lens gives you 1.6x the FoV.
>>3791858
>incested
kek
I assume you mean invested.
Tell me, are your lenses full frame or crop?
The 90D is truly a dream camera, but it's not FF.
>>3791923

This is true too. But I wouldn't go mirrorless. The OVF is too awesome to replace it with a tiny screen.
>>3792053
It's arguably the best camera currently available for wildlife.
>>3792077
>The 32mp thing is a meme no lens can resolve that much res
kek, sounds like cope to me
That thing puts the a7RIV to shame with good glass.

aside from low light performance, why does MFT get shit on so hard?

Almost every time I see color banding in a shot, I look at the EXIF and it's Olympus.

>The 32mp thing is a meme no lens can resolve that much res
any modern L series is more than capable of resolving 32mp

Low highlight ceiling and poor subject separation.
However I'd rather get MFT than Fuji any day.

>>3792053
>90D its basically an EF mount mirrorless with a not shit viewfinder and battery life for days.
That's one way to look at it, I supposed. Another way to look at it is that it's an enormous mirrorless camera that doesn't have an EVF.

>>3789333 (checked)
based and redpilled feature actually

>>3791860
better for lowlight.

and so I dont have to do goddamn math everytime I want to change/focus lenses and settings to compensate for crop factor

>>3791923
If I was going to go 5D, I would go 5DSR.

The problem with the 5DSR is that it doesnt have a flippy screen, no 4k video, and no IBIS.

I realize that neither the 90 or 6D2 have IBIS, but they also arent at 50mp and I dont want to have to always use a tripod.

Further, the 5DSR is another $1k, and Id rather save for the R5 towards mid/end of 2021

How do you snap with autofocus lens? Does your camera support seeing manual focus to hyperfocal distance?Does it keep the distance through power save or restart?

>>3790255
I was close to buying a printer once but then I realized that
* the ink is ridiculously expensive
* unless you print regularly, the heads dry out and need cleaning, which uses even more ink and wastes it
so it wouldn't have been worth doing because I wouldn't have been printing regularly enough.

>>3790311
You should know that rangefinder lenses don't perform great on mirrorless cameras due to the thickness of the sensor stack, especially for wide angle lenses. See https://phillipreeve.net/blog/rangefinder-wide-angle-lenses-on-a7-cameras-problems-and-solutions/

>>3791213
Not true. With Canon cameras you get banding. Nikon cameras are better but still suffer from banding. Sony is the only brand that is banding free as far as I know. Fuji cameras are sadly limited by being APS-C. Leicas perform worse but they aren't trying to compete. So no, they're not all the same. If you mean that they are all good enough, then you're right about that.
