Do you normally tell people every single piece of camera gear you own every time you make a comment on photography?

>>3793113
I bought a Ricoh kr 5 super and a f/2 50mm lens to go with it. wanted a 35mm but couldn't find one.
It was dirt cheap too.

>>3793113
Is this man huge or the camera really small?

>>3793120
Ken is a giant homunculus

Is worth upgrading from X-E2 to the X-E3?

Or should I wait for X-E4 or save for X-T30?

>>3793113
I just want Nikon to come out with their "compact" 40mm

>>3793146
Good to know.

>>3793148

Nope. Return them to a moist garden and buy a Canon.

What do you worms think of what he had to say about "simulations"?
>I'm not a fan of the film simulations. I love the look of real Fuji VELVIA film, but the electronic simulations in the X100V (or any of the Fuji cameras) just don't do it for me.

Which camera produces the best white borders? I really think this could take my photography career to the next level.
>>3793113
Fuck you.

>>3793173
>Sell your Sony and buy a Fuji has been replaced with sell your Fuji and buy a Canon
Kek guess they hate being on the receiving end of that

I’m thinking of buying the Sigma 100-400mm DN, but I think the 24-70mm DN would be more convenient for photography until we’re allowed to travel again, but the sigma 24-70 is $350 US more here than it is in the US while the Tamron 28-75 is slightly cheaper than in the US. God sigma needs to make a 24-105

>>3793259
R6 is unironically good. All the EOS R models are way better than anything Fuji makes. EOS M is also getting very good these days. It's more of a consumerist camera system, but the lenses are both compact and inexpensive, which justifies its consumerist designation.

>>3793260
>I’m thinking of buying a Sigma
Oh, nooooo. It's retarded.

>>3793253
It definitely is, I wonder if (and hope) the newer models solved the banding.
Nikon is fucking up with Z mount, FTZ adapter has no reason to be $450. People end up buying a Fringe and using Canon EF glass instead.

>>3793259
I shoot Canon and fujifags have called me a Sony shill several times because I shat on their meme cameras lol

>>3793253

Except for the fact that they overcharge out the ass for their shit.

>>3793264

I think you’re the retarded one, anon.

>>3793288
It’s because Sony betrayed them and censored their anime tiddies in their imported anime games. That’s where “Snoy” originated from.

Looking for a new lens for my Nikon, should I stick to only Nikkor lenses or is that retarded?

>>3793299
You didn’t say what kind of lens for what purpose and if it’s Nikon Z or F

So I found an old film camera that accepts only pc flash input. The camera works but it has no flash. I was wanting to hook it up with an on camera flash on a bracket. I found a bracket on b&h that will work. But b&h doesn't list what type of bulb is used in their on camera flash. I need one with halogen, not led. Does anyone know any (inexpensive) on camera flashes with halogen and not led?

>>3793303
I'm looking for a prime lens for low light stuff, it's an F mount

>>3793314
Well still a wide range of focal lengths. FF? DX? Sigma 35mm 1.4 is less than half the cost of the Nikon 35mm 1.4g iirc.

any suggestions on a K mount 35mm lense that isn't too expensive but not shit either?

>>3793315
It is a crop sensor but really my question is: is the lens brand ever a factor when looking for new lenses? Like are some known to be bad or good? Or does it depend on the type of lens?

>>3793329
Look at the reviews. Brand is literally meaningless unless you find some wun hung lo brand on ebay or amazon that you've never heard of.

>>3793254
the more expensive the camera the better the white borders are

Is the Panasonic LX10 still a good camera? Or should I pay more for the RX100VA? I don't care about video but I want the best possible image quality at iso 1600.

>>3793382
why use a higher iso when you can just lower your shutter speed?

Ken is such a god damn chad

>>3793287
yeah, an ftz is a third of a new z50, fucking weird.

>>3793387
handholding?

I own a modified Canon 100D which I use for astrophotography (with a Samyang 135mm f2) and a Pentax K-S1 for daytime photography which I don't use very often (suffering from aperture block, looking into DIY repair).

This year I want to shoot more "regular" photography (as opposed to astro), landscape/nature stuff and a few portraits. I have no complaints with the Pentax and I pretty much only use vintage m42 lenses, but it's rather bulky so I often don't bring it out.

Any suggestions for a cheap second hand camera that's more portable, takes M42 and PK lenses well and the Samyang (EF mount) as well? Or should I stick with the Pentax and get a cheap compact to carry with me?

>>3793316
bump

Also why do I always read about fuji, canon, sometimes pentacks and nikon but never about Ricoh on /p/ee?

what's the deal with x100v when xpro3 cost basically the same while offering ever so slightly better specs and most importantly an interchangeable lens mount?

>>3793497
x100v is smaller, lighter, has a very compact lens, and a leaf shutter. I'm in the market for a compact camera that I can stick in a jacket pocket, and the x100v is in the running.

>>3793503
This seems very marginal to me. Lens compactness might be the more important part I suppose. Is a leaf shutter even that much big of a deal?

>>3793497
Fixed pancake lens camera vs ICL.

>>3793511
>Is a leaf shutter even that much big of a deal?
Shutter sync all the way through, nearly silent, no rolling shutter. It is if you want any of those things.

>>3793518
Alright, thanks, makes sense.

>>3793430
Canon EF bodies like your 100D can use M42 lenses with no issues, you just need a cheap adapter.
With "modified" you probably mean IR-filter removal, you can just use an IR-filter in front of the lens.
Get one as large as your largest lens and a few adapter rings.
Compact cameras have a tendency to suck, if you want something compact sized, get a small mirrorless camera.
If you get a Canon EOS M series camera, you can use your EF lenses almost natively with an EF-M to EF adapter and you can use all SLR-lenses with some sort of adapter as well.

>>3793395
don't have parkinsons maybe?

I recently bought the 18mm f/2 R for my X-Pro2 and I'm waiting for DHL to drop it off this week. Outside of that, I'd love to get an 80-200 f/2.8D for my D610 so I can replace the beat to shit previous generation 80-200 I've got for esports work

>>3793511
>>3793503
There aren’t any more compact lenses. But if you’re going to get a fixed lens compact, ditch Fuji and look at the Ricoh GR III, it’s a lot slimmer if you must be able to fit a camera with lens into a pocket, it’s about 20mm slimmer.

>>3793525
I did try using M42 lenses on the 100D, unfortunately my camera only had the filter removed and not replaced with a clear glass one therefore to focus properly you have to use liveview, the viewfinder no longer matches the actual focus. I might look into clip-in clear filters, but for compactness and focus peaking a mirrorless is appealing, on average they seem rather slimmer compared to my 100D which is very small for a DSLR.

Any suggestions besides the M50/M5?

>>3793540

When you realize that the fuji lens is actually a 135mm f/3 equivalent and they are charging f/2 money for that shit, yeah, it's pretty funny. LMAO.

>>3793683
It's what I was poking fun at, lol
At least the Oly 45mm f/1.8 (f/3.6 equiv) is just 399. Fuji is paying more for less.

>>3793553
If the M50 is within your budget, it's probably your best choice.
Allthough I'd recommend buying the M50 MK1 used, MK2 is basicly just a firmware update.

>>3793687
Also don't forget that it's an L-Lens.
They aren't exactly known to be of the budget variety...

>>3793687
f2 is f2 buddy. And it's got aperture ring right on the lens. Many are willing to pay extra for that comfort.

>>3793687
I just realized that my choice of Oly lens is retarded lol, I halved 90mm instead of halving 135mm. However the 60mm f/2.8 (120mm equivalent) is the same price. A closer equivalent, the 75mm f/2.8 is highway robbery at 899.
>>3793694
Exactly lol. It's the cream of the crop.

For luminance purposes yes. For subject separation no. That's why MFT is advantageous for certain kinds of pics at a distance, like the one of the basketball hoop that guy posted a few days ago, pic related.

Depth of field is highly dependent on distance to the subject. When you take an f/2 lens and then you have to back up a few feet because your camera crops off the edges of the image circle, the depth of field gets larger. You can not isolate the same subject with the same framing to the same degree with these two lenses in: >>3793679

>>3793694
The Fuji lens is technically mid range--they have a little red badge for their most premium line--but it's built to about the same degree of quality as the L lens. Metal barrel, weather-sealing, their best autofocus motor...the only thing it's missing is OIS, but they have red badge lenses that lack that.

>>3793695
>F/2 is F/2 when comparing FF and APS-C
Yes and no.
Yes, the light per square mm hitting the sensor is the same.
No, the depth of field is not the same.
Physicly speaking it's a 90 mm f/2.0
On an APS-C sensor it is equivalent to a 135 mm f/3.0 on a FF sensor.
And then we can factor in the sharpness as well, assuming both resolve the same amount of lines per mm, the FF lens has 1,5x1,5=2,5 the detail of the APS-C lens.

>>3793707
I'm not saying it's a bad lens, I just doubt it compares to an L-lens on a FF body.

>>3793691
Thanks for the input, even used the M50 is a bit pricier than I was looking to spend but I'll keep it in mind. Comparing some models with Camerasize I'm not sure the decrease in bulk over the pentax K-S1 is worth the change, I'll have to think about this some more.

lmao I've sold my canon to buy the fuji x-e2 tha I plan to upgrade.

Canon is great and all, but the important thing to me is size and time to get the result I want.

Regarding to size, i did not buy sony just because I liked the fuji colors better, and working with Capture One and Fuji I get faster results than I was with Canon and Ligthroom.

It's not what is best, it's what works best for me.

>Anyway, it's not worth investing into it.
it's debatable since i literally used it few times
>Rechargeable batteries are a thing...
ye except they are not
i went to local electronic seller and asked him about that since my camera shut down even when cells were full
so he said to me "look at their voltage, rechargeable cells have lower voltage than non rechargeable, that's cause it's not worth to charge them to their original state and so rechargeable cells are always "late" with their delivery, so camera shuts down instead"

No it’s not, f/2 is a ratio. 135/2 = 67.5, 90/2 = 45
67.5 is not 45.
>>3793705
>For luminance purposes yes
It’s not, you get approx 1/4 the amount of light over the picture, hence why MFT is approx 2 stops behind FF. 5.6 and 150mm and ISO400 would be 300mm f/11 and ISO1600.

>>3793881
>hence why MFT is approx 2 stops behind FF. 5.6 and 150mm and ISO400 would be 300mm f/11 and ISO1600.
this is your brain on /p/. fuck me.

>>3793903
Thats 100% correct though.

>>3793881
What's my rollei getting wide open at 3.5?

>>3793931
f over 3.5

>>3793881
>It’s not, you get approx 1/4 the amount of light over the picture
lel you're an imbecile
the F number being independent of sensor size is why when you want a visually equivalent picture on full frame than one from micro four thirds you have to crank up the ISO 4 times the one on MFT
this isn't hard to test

>>3793945
Take a f/4 FF lens and if you had a 0.5x speedbooster you’d now have a f/2 lens on MFT, it’s not Magically giving you 4x more light, it’s the same amount of light concentrated over a smaller area. Hence f/4 and f/2 give the same amount of light on FF and MFT respectively, and the SNR will be similar when FF is using 2 stops higher ISO. At 50mm f/4 and 25mm f/2 just about everything will be the same - noise, depth of field, field of view, etc.

That’s exactly how it works. There is a 2 stop difference (approx) between MFT and FF in signal rose noise ratio. Because there is less signal on MFT at the same f-number. Signal is the amount of light you’re getting. You’re getting 1/4 the amount of light at the same f-number on MFT.

>>3793955
>speedbooster
That changes the f number and length, it's a focal reducer,
Put a 100mm f/4 lens on a MFT and take a picture.
To get the same picture on FF you need a 200mm f/8 (equivalent framing and DoF), now you have a much darker situation that forces you to use 4 times the ISO for the same shutter speed to get a picture that looks the same.
Naturally, most of the time you want more aperture not less, but then it ceases to be equivalent. Same framing, DOF and exposure demand double the f number, double the focal length and 4 times the ISO (or a shutter 4 times slower).

>>3793957
Yes you need 4x the ISO, the amount of light however is the same, 1/4 the light intensity, but 4x the light collection area. Same DoF, same field of view, same SNR. The same amount of light treated the same just spread out over a larger area. Hence f/4 (mft) is equal to f/8 (FF), 100/4 = 25, 200/8 = 25, 100/4 = 200/8. Glad to see you agree with me.
>>3793695
>f2 is f2 buddy
Hence this is patently false. f/2 is f/4 from mft to FF

>>3793960
>Same DoF
this is due to the distance to subject more than the sensor itself, although said distance is a symptom caused by the crop factor

>>3793967
Same distance to subject, equivalent aperture, equivalent focal length eg 100mm f/4 and 200mm f/8

>>3793751

What do you have and how much would you sell it for?

>>3793316
All the pentax smc are pure kino tier. Even the Japanese made ones by off brands have good focus and clarity.

The 50mm 1.7 is a beast still under 80 quid most places. The 28mm 2 is more expensive and elusive but good. The 35mm is good too. Don't forget you can mount old f nikon lenses on pentax as well

>>3793978
Sounds like a plan (unless some of your film cameras are Leicas, might be worth keeping one).
5D3 is honestly a better value than 5D4 and pretty much all L glass is stellar.

Just bought a Leica.

My first thought is that I should have just bought one much sooner.
Do yourself a favour and sell all your gear and buy Leica.

pretty sure 90% of /p/ shoots "street" (or basically fuck all outdoors) so unless you shoot weddings, zone focus (aka f8 and 3m to infinity) is all you need

for the occasional anime figurine bokeh at f/1.4, any manual focus system is good since you can take your time.

It says on the label that it costs around $450, though. Or is that some kind of souvenir that came with it?

That's probably the original price, but you can find those used around 150 bucks, it's an old lens

Any recommendations for a cheap workhorse camera? I have a job where I take a ton of photos and they really just need to be in focus and properly exposed, both wide and telephoto, there's no art in this at all (pre & post purchase home inspections, 4-points, wind mitigation, etc). It's the most artless photography job you can get but it pays the bills. I just need to shit out a ton of in-focus JPGS.

I was looking at point & shoots because that's what I've used for years but for the price of some of these I could get a used shitty entry level Canon DSLR and a used shitty Tamron 18-250mm superzoom for about $250 or less. I have a Nikon with real lenses but I don't want to use that for this job, and a terrible Kodak (really) digital point and shoot that I use now that's pretty miserable to use.

I almost don't want a camera that's too good because I don't want to waste it.

>>3794274

A smartphone or tablet will do.

>>3794275
I've used my phone in a pinch but it's not ideal. I need real zoom which is the only reason I still use this Kodak point and shoot.

If you are just photographing purchases at peoples homes I would use a smartphone or a tablet. That's what everyone else does these days. And that is what the purchaser/home owner understands. It's kind of weird to photograph someones new purchases at his home with a dslr or ilmc and the home owner will ask questions about that.

Could you guys recommend me some more compact prime for my nikon apsc camera? I have a 50 for portraits and stuff and I like it, but the 35mm rome from nikon sucks imo. Would that smol sigma 30mm be worth it? A non-shit af is kind if inportant to me and sigma HSMs were so far lovely

Sounds like a job for a bridge camera to me. Some Nikon or Canon or Sony or Panasonic or even Fuji (the bridge ones are worm-free I think).
Sony H-300 is available used from B&H for $144 in 9/10 condition. It was the best selling point and shoot camera on KEH this year.

>>3794423
Oh hey, that Sony looks pretty good. If I can find a good deal I might look into that. Thanks mate

>>3794280

>>3794423

IIRC that's not an issue with straigh out of camera .jpg.
The issue is caused by the different colour filter array and RAW-converters that aren't optimized for it.

>>3794451
X-transformer reduces it a bit but it's still present in the end result. Still, bridge cameras don't have the X-tranny sensor so they're safe.

>>3794439
No problem. Look into other bridge cameras too, for example there's a Canon PowerShot SX710 HS on eBay for 130 with case, memory, battery and charger (the Sony uses AA batteries instead).

this guy

I'm looking for a dedicated landscape camera and I'm between the D850 and the A7RIII. I don't need a wide selection of lenses, just a standard (but preferably quality) kit lens, plus very good ~24mm and ~50mm primes since I shoot at those lengths a lot.

Size, weight, and autofocus don't matter to me, battery life does matter a little. No limit on money (I can afford both bodies), but if I can save money with one system to get the same quality, that's a big plus. Any thoughts between these two systems, purely for landscape?

Also, should I consider the A7RII? Is the III a substantial jump, or should I save a huge amount of money and go for the II instead?

>>3794618
The Nikon is weather sealed. Get the D850 purely for that reason. Don’t even consider Snoy for any work in the outdoors. Those are for vloggers mainly.

Getting a lens for that will be a major issue at that price

>>3794718
Okay, how about mid tier zoom? Or what would you suggest in the cheaper end of the spectrum. Doesn't have to be crazy zoom.

>>3794721
You can get a Nikon D3400 and 18-55mm lens which would be an every day zoom lens for around $500 aud, from standard wide angle to slight telephoto. You can then find a cheap 70-300mm lens for around $200 or so, but they’re usually not sharp at the long end.

>>3794633
>landscapes look shitty with shitty weather
They can look fantastic right after shitty weather, though, as the mist is still hanging in the air and clouds are low on the horizon but breaking apart.

For example

>>3794744
Oh, I'm pretty sure the seller is saying the camera comes with HB-61 sun shade, battery charger MH-24, camera to usb type-C cord and Nikon DX af-p Nikkor 18-55mm lens.

I'll contact them and find out. If so, she's that seem like a fair deal? I think the other items are seperate.

>>3794760
And you’d have a bit left over for a cheap 70-300mm lens. Though I don’t think they’re that great usually.

>>3794761
Cool. Yeah I'm not looking for anything fantastic. Just want to buy myself something nice and get into the hobby/teach myself to take photos.

I could probably do a shittone of research but what little I've seen says this is a good entry level piece and that's all I'm looking for really.

>>3794613
Really depends on what's in your backpack. A bunch of cables and relatively soft things? Sure. Heavy things and things with sharp angles? No.

>>3794736
>>3794760
I'd suggest getting something like a D5200 instead. A bit older but much nicer ergonomics and same lens support (D5100 is awesome but doesn’t support AF-P). I found this listing but it's kinda iffy to me, pics of the lens box but not of the lens itself. If real, it's a much before deal. How does Gumtree work anyways? Is there some reputation system like on eBay? Not an Aussie.

Why do Pentax DSLRs have worse battery life than Canon and Nikon?

Best value DSLR for £500 or so second hand? Please recommend. I particularly want compact body and lenses.

>>3794990
At that pricerange the EOS M50 is great, not a DSLR but a MILC though.

>>3794990

If you want a dslr than a Nikon D3500 is the best one. It costs £429.00 and you need to buy a memory card which costs at least another £10.00.

>>3794931
>item location: Japan
Usually good to go. If it's not in absolutely mint condition, it will be disclosed heavily

>seller: KEH
>condition: "used condition"
It's going to be completely worn out, beat to shit, probably have a shutter count WELL NORTH of 1 million, heavy soiling, and maybe scratches on the sensor from being cleaned improperly.

>>3795002
Not entirely accurate but in the large scheme of things not wrong either. There's some amazing deals on KEH, but buying from Japan usually involves detailed photos of the actual item you're buying (look for the ones that publish each article for sale separately).
Some of them you can even see the serial number on the pics and it's the one you get.
Also "used" isn't a condition for KEH, literally everything is used there unless explicitly stated otherwise. But you have grades, from as is to like new. Sometimes you luck out with the bargain items and get something that's near mint with some minor functional flaw, specially on vintage gear. And you can return things if not satisfied unless it's graded "as is".

>>3794997
>Nikon D3500
I'd rather go upmarket and second hand honestly.

>>3794997
Don’t do this. Used D700 for a little bit less is heaps better.

>>3794997
Why not a D5x00 model instead?
The only reason I see to buy D3x00 is if you're desperate to buy brand new.

Old Canon cameras like the 60d and 70d have quality issues and really low dynamic range. Low dynamic range doesn't matter so much in the UK because of the cloudy weather everything is evenly lit.

>>3795030
i just realised that used the t2 and the t30 are about the same.. do you know which would be better paired with just a 50mm for learning with

>>3795023
Glad to help. One nice thing about the 60D is that it has some degree of weather sealing unlike the Nikons I suggested. It's a fairly high end body. Also you can use magic lantern with it.
>>3795033
"really low" lol aren't you exaggerating a bit?
look at the shadow recovery
https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/2999648

>>3795023
Also just noticed you said compact lol, the 60D is nearly 6D sized.
The Nikons have the edge in that regard.

>>3795041
It's APS-C, do you mean the XF 50mm f2 or a 35mm which turns into 50mm?

>>3795041
X-T30 is considerably smaller and lighter, has a built-in flash, faster burst, a touch screen, and 2 more megapixels (not much, but it's something). X-T2 has weather sealing, as well as some small advantages on the body like an extra card slot, a slightly bigger viewfinder, and a dedicated ISO dial. I'd recommend the X-T30 over the X-T2 unless the weather sealing is very important.

Since you're learning though I wouldn't recommend being too picky about the model you're learning on. Keep both in mind and see which you can get a good deal on.

>>3795055
>>3795055
ah, which would you recommend? from a quick look the 35mm is the same used as the f2 50mm is new..

>>3795057
ah nice, smaller and lighter would definitely be better for me. seems there are a lot more x-t30's out there and generally come with the kit lens at the same price of a body only t2 so ill have a look at a few vids. thanks

>>3795060
There's an XF f2 35mm that should be available for less than a new f2 50mm. The XF f1.4 35mm (more expensive) is a stop faster than the f2, but it's older, slightly bigger, and the autofocus isn't as fast.

To make things more confusing, there's also an XC 35mm f2 that's almost entirely identical to the XF 35mm f2, albeit made of plastic and cheaper as a result.

Choosing between 35mm and 50mm on crop comes down to preference. For learning, 35mm is probably better because it's the equivalent of a nifty fifty all-arounder on full frame.

>>3795014
>compact

>>3795060
As an owner of the 50mm: don't get it as your first

>Also "used" isn't a condition for KEH, literally everything is used there unless explicitly stated otherwise.
KEH has two conditions: "good" and "trash." Both are worse grades than anything you'll get from Japan.

>>3795036
>fujiworms
>selling for >$0

>>3795146
I agree with you that Japan usually has the best stuff but KEH is stellar sometimes

>>3795022
YES. The Fuji lens can not be mounted on a high quality camera, such as a Pentax. Only on cameras that are full of sensor worms. Therefore, Pentax wins by default.

That lens is not very good and has 0 worth, treat it like it is an extra gift for the camera.
That price while is not bad, I think you could do better with a K-70 and a kit lens, maybe with a kit+telezoom bundle.
In any case the 18-50 kit and 55-300 telezoom are the ideal starting kit. Avoid superzooms like the ones you posted.

What filter should I get first? Polarising, ND or protective? At the moment I like landscapes, but I hope to develop portraits when the pandemic situation is over

>>3795249
Not a bad camera but I would have looked into older D5x00 models instead. At least buying used you won't lose much money when you eventually upgrade, just consider it a long term cheap rental. I had a D5100 for 3 years myself which I sold at just above the same price I bought it (bought it in the USA for just under $200 with 2 batteries, bought the 18-55mm, the strap and the USB cable separately, sold it for $300 as a kit). I babied it and watched my shutter though. Now I have a full frame Canon that I plan to hold on to until it dies.

any fujifags know if the x-t3 is worth paying £250 more (used prices) over the x-t30? i don't really care about video but it would be nice i guess

>>3795293
If you're shooting landscapes you will definitely want a polarizer for skies. A strong (6-10 stops) ND is good for smoothing water and clouds too, but not as essential as a polarizer. You don't need a UV filter if you're shooting digital.

anyone from nj know of any good camera shops left?

>>3795319
Ty anon, I was thinking about this Kenko mostly because of the price tag
Also, I recently got a wide-angle lens, 24mm on a full frame, until now I was using the 50mm or a zoom lens. How much of a issue is a polarizer lens on a 24mm?

>>3795329

Polarizer is okay above 28mm

Much below that you will see weird shit happen to your sky, if you want ultra-wide and that polarizer effect for deep blue skies, get a lens with a curved front element that you can't put filters on and you basically get the same thing

>>3795318
I think it is due to the feel and also the viewfinder is much better. I consider the EVF to be one of the most important parts of a camera.

It'll probably look worse in 26MP APS-C than it ever did in film. Highly dependent on the specific lens. Pixel peeping is WAY harder on a lens than film printing ever was unless you routinely did massive enlargements. Most people never printed bigger than 8x10 and just about any lens looks good on such a small scale if it's in focus. Old lenses usually lack good coatings and things such as reflection off the sensor itself can in rare circumstances cause image degradation. Like I said, highly dependent on the specific lens.

Luckily old lenses old value well so you can buy one, test it out, and if you hate it, sell it for what you paid for it unless you paid above market value.

I would value one at not worth buying.
The only camera that approaches being worth it in the entire Fuji X lineup is the X-T200 and I wouldn't get it because it has no AA filter.

Cool aight thanks guys. Guess I'll stick to the newer lens then

Any suggestions between the lumix 14mm 2.5 prime vs 14-42 3.5 zoom with ois? I do mostly video, and have a 25mm prime. All this is on m43.

>>3795528
The one you have with you.

>>3795528
Constant aperture zooms are a cool thing for video as long as they're actual zooms instead of varifocal lenses marketed as zooms.

Anyone seen the new unannounced Sony GM lens in theDPreview video?

I agree with you but if you’re going to have an EVF you better make sure it’s the best EVF possible.

The Zeiss lens would work great on an xpro3. However with the adaptor it will make it a little big so you may as well save your cash and get a recent 7artisans. The 35mm f1.1 is great.

Not sure. I found this S for £250 a few weeks ago. It’s nice but would prefer a better EVF.

Does Nikon or Canon have any similar lenses to this? I’m looking to get a DSLR and Pentax seem to have the most compact lenses. They’re also very highly regarded.

Canon's got the EF 40/2.8 and EF-S 24/2.8 that are both pancakes. They're not *quite* as small as the Pentax, but they're in the same general pancake size category.

>>3795693
The DA Limited 40mm isn't even really that useful. It's a 60mm FF equivalent, so kind of tight, and not very fast either, so it's not exactly an ideal portrait lens.

If you want a compact camera, buy a mirrorless. Something like the Canon EOS M6II is a great option, takes great photos, has easily the best APS-C sensor on the market, and all the lenses are small/lightweight.

What compact camera would you recommend me as an alternative for when I'm too lazy to carry around my big DSLR? Greentext for simplicity of the list of requirements:

>ofc, compact
>less than 200€ used
>good in low light (not necessarily aps-c compact level good though, I am aware that's hardly possible with this low price), any form of IS is also appreciated for the same reason
>lens can be zoom/prime, but prime will probably be better in low light so I'd rather have that
>can shoot in raw

Is the Olympus TG-6 the best rainy day/fishing camera? It seems to be the in the top of its field when it comes to rugged compacts, and it's the only one that can do RAW from what I can see. Been on the fence for a while, but I'm getting closer to nabbing one.

Thoughts on the Nikon AW1?

Just came here to say, I've been using my Sekonic L-408's spot meter backwards for a couple weeks now.

I'm so fucking dumb.

>>3795951
The phone you have with you. You're probably not gonna find anything with great image quality that's also compact under 200. If you're willing to spend more, maybe the x100v.

>>3795987
Your requirements are a bit too broad. You basically want to do everything so I'm going to recommend what I consider a "good value" but I know that anon is gonna come in here to shit it up, so feel free to get the equivalent in other brands too.
X-T3 when it's on sale for $1000. Not at the current price. It was on sale tons last year and they'll probably do more this year.
With the 18-55mm or 16-80mm kit lens. The 18-55mm might arguably offer better landscapes since it has a wider aperture at the wide end. The 16-80mm will be a little more versatile in reaching something further away. But don't plan to shoot birds with it. You'll need at least a 400mm to do bird shooting.
And a Laowa 65mm for your macro. It's manual focus only but it's really easy to manual focus on mirrorless with tools like focus peaking.

>>3795987
Mint 5D3, about 900.
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II, about 700
Canon 28-80mm f/2.8-4 L, about 400
Not the best kit but serviceable.

Retarded kit

Oh and add a 100-400 by Cosina, should be about 100 bucks.

>The phone you have with you. You're probably not gonna find anything with great image quality that's also compact under 200. If you're willing to spend more, maybe the x100v.

If I was willing to spend more, my first options would be the older x100 cameras, or even a Canon m100 with a tiny prime.

What about some of those one inch sensor compact cameras for example?

I really don't like my phone, it doesn't shoot raw, its jpg processing is horrendous, I can't get google camera to work on it, and besides the camera it's a phone I really like (super resistant to everything, 10000mAh battery, Blackview BV9500 plus if you're curious). If anyone knows a rugged phone with an actually good camera that shoots raw, that would also be an option, but I'd rather have my camera separate from my smartphone.

So with the announcement of the new Pentax K3-iii and it's ridiculous pricing should I leave Pentax and move to another system?
Currently have the original K-3 which I got for 600 bucks with the 50/1.8, also have a 100mm macro and 55-300mm
K3-iii is looking like it's going to cost more than the K1-ii and it's still not even close to the AF specs of anything from canikon or sony within the past several years
Should I stick with Pentax and buy the K1-ii (surely their next full frame will be price gauged as their new APSC) or sell my gear and invest in a new camera system (and which one because I haven't been in the market or looking at what's out there for years now)?

That is a lot to accomplish well with $2k, but then again I don't believe in buying kit-quality lenses.

D700 ~$250 (cheaped out here for good lenses)
Nikon 24-70 f2.8 ~$600 (you don't need VR for landscapes, great for general shooting)
Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR ~$800 (sports, you need the speed)
TC-20E 2x TC ~$180 (use with the 70-200, decent for wildlife)
Nikon 105 f2.8D ~$220 (best macro lens on a budget, hands down)
Total: $2,050

You now have 3 high quality workhorse lenses that will last forever and a good body. I would suggest Canon equivalents but I just recently bought a Canon 6D and don't have a good feel for the used market's prices yet. The above is similar to my setup but instead of using a TC with my 70-200mm for wildlife I have a 200-500mm f5.6 VR. If you don't want a bulky 24-70 f2.8 for general shooting and landscapes a 24-85 VR is a good lens for the price (~$200 used) and then you can use the savings on a newer body. Spend $300 more on a body and get a D610 which is faster and has better low light performance for your sports and wildlife (this is what I have, my D700 is a backup). The D700 is a great camera, but the D610 is better all around. Less noise, better dynamic range, faster all around, and the extra resolution doesn't helps when you're doing macro and wildlife and want to crop tight.

That's funny, my DA 40 Ltd acts as a 40mm on my K-1.
For normal equivalent on APS-C you are looking for the DA 21mm Ltd. Same high quality build and high IQ.

60mm is good for me for general walkaround use. 35mm on a APSC is ~53mm so it's not that much tighter.

>>3796215
That lens works on full frame too?! Didn't know that. How is your K1 treating you? Is it pretty large?

considering it's AF and Elec aperture control, it's size is impressive. There is a YN knockoff for Nikon which i'm tempted just for the size but i'm sure it's optics will be a gamble
