>>4128650>Novoflex Castel XQ II editionwere you the fujitard that bought that overpriced garbage?
Any rumored Nikon mirrorless bodies for 2023? Thinking of getting into Nikon due to their (supposedly) superior mid-level lenses. Especially their Z 50 and 85mm 1.8’s
>>4128650are pentax cameras really that bad of cameras? or is /p/ just being /p/ and their fine T. Pentaxfag considering jumping ship to nikon
>>4128745They are getting increasingly dated while not getting any cheaper and the few lenses there are range from bad to ok and are continuing to sell at a premium.What good is your "modernized DSLR system" when half the lenses you'll be using are screw drive autofocus and barely sharp enough to be worth making MTF charts for?niggas are still paying $800+ for used K1s when you can buy a used D850 for the same amount.However, "pentaxians" continue to insist it's the best shit ever and mix that with irrational fuji hate (despite adhering to an even more hipster form over function brand - muh ovf magical experience).
>>4128749so jump ship then?
>>4128750If you intend to buy more lenses, or upgrade to a newer pentax body, absolutely. if not, the lack of competitive developments from pentax do not affect you. You already have a camera.
>>4128753i was planning to flesh out my kit with more stuff, and get a k5 but theres nothing wrong with a hop, skip and a jump over to nikon with a cheap lens and a 5100
What's the consensus on a6000s? I don't see them getting any cheaper despite being old af
>>4128749>However, "pentaxians" continue to insist it's the best shit ever and mix that with irrationalThat's not irrational. If you browse the Pentax rumor websites back in the day you would know there was a schism among the pentaxians, many of them dropped Pentax and jumped ship to Fujifilm.The remnants then grew to see Fujifilm as a threat.
>>4128830Thinking a camera is a threat because the company makes better shit is irrational. Is mr. fujisan firumo going to go last samurai on ricoh HQ and force the pentax division to go mirrorless at swordpoint?
>>4128835i hope so
your thoughts on:nikon z6ii VS canon r6 VS panasonic S1 vs Nikon z7?wildlife photography
>>4128847vs sony a7r iiiI care about video too.thanks in advance.
>>4128847Overpriced lenses. The E-mount has cheaper zooms from Tamron and Sigma.
>>4128848S5iix
>>4128749where the FUCK are you getting D850s for 800. I will literally nut inside a beehive if you can find me one at that price.
>>4128797it's meh for general shooting with af lensesit's shit if you want to use lingling primes or other manual lensessource: had one but wound up switching brands (to fuji of course)besides the frustrating manual focusing work flow my biggest complaints were:>shutter louder than a dslr>bad jpg colors, denoising>incomprehensible menus (with the german translation it felt like playing oblivion again)
Zoomin through the postal system
>20-70mm f/4Damn that’s like a 10-35mm f/2 equivalent in MFT. Over.
>>4128859Which Fuji did you pick?
>>4128887initially an x-a5 since it was <450 with both kit lensesnow I mostly use an x-s10 + ttartisan 35 1.4 (or film)
>Nikon 200-500 Any thoughts ? Probably my next lens. I want some mf R E A C H.
What’s a good replacement for my Canon 7D?
>>412893590D
>>4128949Thanks I'll take a look. Gonna look into newer cameras and compare them all later today.
>>4128961Generally speaking, lenses>bodies but whatever you do if you have a decent lens collection I'd suggest staying in the same system. What motivates your desire to upgrade?90D offers a lot of resolution, same sized sensor so your EF-S lenses all work, dual pixel autofocus, swivel screen and more stuff.There's also the 7D Mark II but I think the 90D is superior in almost every way.
>>4128964>Glass > BodyFair point. I have one L-series lens which is somewhat impressive, the rest are basically economy lenses I bought to minimize costs but to get away from my shitty kit lens. >What motivates your desire to upgrade? IMO, I went from amateur professional to being a professional who knows his craft and needs to upgrade to stay competitive and make the full-transition. Also my 7D is starting to fall apart. I have dead pixels I didn't have before and the body took a fall during a shoot because a fat lady knocked over my tripod.

What’s a good (doesn’t have to be great) film point and shoot that has mostly automatic operation and lowest possible hipster tax. I have a film SLR but I don’t tend to take it out since it’s all automatic but with an iffy light meter. I want something I can feel confident as a snap shooter but still use film for fun. I was even looking at a Nikon n2020 even though that’s an SLR
>>4128987It looks even bulkier
>>4128849Nikon has the 200-500/5.6 that can be used with an adapter. You can't get better value wildlife lens on the market right now>Smegma or TamshitLiterally trash that disintegrates itself on the first burst unless you limit it to DSLR level 5 FPS
>>4129029Konica C35 EFNo hipster tax considering that was one of Warhol cameras of choice lol
>>4129088Old crap lenses with old crap motors are not worth it.

>>4129029Automatic film P&S already getting hipster tax now. If you want to pay less go get the one with zoom lens, not the prime lens.I saw so many Mju Zoom and Pentax Espio IQZoom still unsold onn online stores.I really want to recommend Konica Big Mini but sadly it got hit hard with hipster tax recently
>>4129103It's just a few years old, mate
>>4129121I saw some decent Big Minis but I’ve read that the winding motors fail. How about a Ricoh AF5? Most of what I see is untested
Do I buy a Leica SL for 2k?
Sonychads, should I buy the 16-35 f/4 PZ, or the equally sharp past f4 20mm f1.8G?inb4 24mm GM. no i don't shoot wide angles that much, but when I do, they're WIDE.
>>4129159Most automatic P&S will eventually fail due to problem with circuit boards or ribbon cables (Example: Leica Minilux is infamous for their doomed ribbon cable, and yet people still paying premium price for them. It's fixable though but still....) so motor problem is just one of many possible breakdown. Even old fully mechanical cameras have better lifespan (and I don't add 3D printing into equation yet).Japan is worse with price. There's a ton of Big Mini but the working one sold for 30k Yen (almost $300) and I don't have enough electronic fixing skill to buy the one with junk status and try to fix them.
Played around with the A7 for a bit. Don’t care for the menus or ergonomics. Not sure if I’d get over it.
So today, after years cooped up in my home because of covid and other things, I decided to pick my Ricoh GR (first gen with APS-C sensor, not GRD/ GRdigital version) for a family gathering event. After using it for a whole day I start thinking to myself."I need dials"I grew up with film camera so using dials is already a habit for me. When I got myself a Ricoh GR, there's not much dials but I'm fine with that and got used to its control after a month or two.But now, after over 7 years using it, I think this is time to get myself a new digital camera. Still small like Ricoh GR, but with tons of dials.So yeah, recommendation please
>>4129421>"I need dials"FujiX-Txx/-E series if you want to keep it smol, X-Tx series for maximum dials
>>4129421Naturally the finest dials can be found in the Fuji system if you'd like dedicated physical controls over shutter speed, aperture, iso, EV, and so on. If you don't need IBIS or great video features, used X-T2 or X-T3s are pretty affordable, or you can do old X-E models, old X-Txx models, etc. Used X-T4s are commonly nearing $1k now which is basically the same price as a new X-S10 but with all around better features and the retro styling, on top of IBIS and being good at video, too.
>>4129177The 16-35 it the lens to get if you prefer the style of images where everything is in focus.The 20 is for style of images where part of the image is blurred.
canon R6II(24-105mm f/4-7,1 STM) or nikon Z7II(nikkor 24-70mm f/4s) for photojournalism, wildlife and nature?
>>4129569Sony A7IV (sony 24-70 f2.8 gm-ii)
Pretty damn good price on UK amazon for the S5+50mm+20-40mm.Pretty sure I could sell this on ebay and make a profit.
>>4129609Panasonic isn't a well known brand, and a.i. is about to kill photography, so the only market left is weddings.
>>4129609every panasonic body is going on clearance now that the S5IIX has PDAF. you will 100% lose money if trying to resell.
>>4129614I've bought it for myself to use. The lenses alone can be flipped for £600+Tbh my biggest concern is the EVF and if it's no good I'll return it.
>>4129421the closest pants pocket size with apsc sensor and top dials are the fuji xf10 or the older fuji x70. or just get the ricoh gr3 or gr3x if you want a newer sensor than the gr. all have strengths and weaknesses.
>>4129633and there's also the nikon coolpix a which is an old model
>>4129425>>4129427Is there a huge difference between all those models? I'm thinking of getting an older model used due to budget constrain ($700-800) but I worried I will regret my purchase.
>>4129633>or just get the ricoh gr3 or gr3x if you want a newer sensor than the gr.I'm fine with my old GR, the tech upgrade isn't that wide compared to GRD III to GR (small sensor jumping straight to APS-C) .Also what I want is dials. XF10 don't have dials, so no. But X70 looks interesting. I will look further into it.
>>4129706>but I worried I will regret my purchaseyou certainly will
>>4129706Yeah you're getting assraped pricewise for cameras that were outdated when they came out over dial autismFuji wasn't even competitive until last year
>>4129706You can get an X-T20 for $300 and just do fineor an X-T2 for about $100 more
>>4129710desu its kind of sad but even old micro four thirds is cheaper and better than old fuji. no wonder they're drumming up revenue by scamming people getting rid of all their good film and ceasing 3 pack sales...
>>4129706X-T2 is based as fuck.
>>4129713OMD-EM10?
>>4129718i love ancient apsc mirrorless shitters with EVFs so bad they'd make you buy a pentax (if better EVFs didn't exist)
>>4129741and yet the EVF is still better than a snoy a7c kek
>>4129742>maybe if I pick the worst sony...Imagine buying the "wannabe leica owners will buy anything to have full frame heheheh" model
>>4129748>wannabe leicayou mean wannabe fuji KEK
>>4129778Fuji delusion syndrome at its finest
>>4129713I'm curious on what merits the "sensor size is the bottom line" type Snoy astroturfers around here would try and make a claim like "m43 was strictly better than Fuji"?
Take your fucking brand autism to the bait threads
>>4129831There are only four digital sensor sizes:Real medium formatCrop medium formatCrop frame"too small"Everything in the 4th one might as well be the same so don't worry about whether you have micro-c or APS3. They're so similar and noticeably worse than the top 3 that no one can really tell.
>>4129842Right, but even if one believes that, that basically makes Fuji and M43 the same at worst. Looking for qualification on why it was claimed M43 was outright superior.
>>4129842I don't know why but you sounds like you're explaining bread.
>>4129831>muh snoySony is the second worst brand in the market, right after Fuji.MFT=no X-tranny so you have a major advantage right there.also MFT has better glass than fuji's soft shit, better colors and last but not least better build qualityMFT stabilization is the best in the market and Fuji didn't even have stabilization up to the X-T4. You don't need a big sensor when you can routinely handhold for 8 seconds and get sharp results, not that APS-C is big to begin with. Fujis are for larpers, Sonys for specshittrs, MFT and the rest are for photographers.
>>4128830>>4128749The amount of gaslighting you do can heat up an olympic size pool. Do you have some special contract with the russians?
>>4128650Is there really anything better than Panasonic S5 in the same price range, for 24 FPS video? (60 FPS is gay)
>>4129609Can I buy through UK Amazon and ship to other countries or is that not how it works?
>>4130014Nevermind. Import fees are 10% of the price FeelsBadMan
>>4130017>>4130014It's gone up by £1000 now anyway. I actually bought one when it dropped to £1500 then it dropped to £1200 so I bought another and will return the £1500 one.
>>4130017>only 10%I would be happy with that instead of my 50-70% import fees on photography equipment
>>4130025The thing is that makes it the same price as here in Germany
>>4130026And used lenses cost the same as new hereFucking bullshit
>>4130029I was getting very upset about shitty German internet infrastructure. Let's stay stoic, brother. Otherwise, it's too much
>>4128650Hi/ p/, I have a Nikon D3400 and I want to upgrade it. I would like to spend around 1200 usd (no more than 1500) on a new camera. Capacity to film decent amateur video with decent audio is important. Any recommendations?Pic unrelated, just grabbing your attention.
>>4130231I forgot to mention that I have a nifty 50 nikon lens. So I'm looking for nikon cameras.
>Price of old digicam is slowly crawling upOh no, it's started. Brace for hipster impact, boys!
>>4130231I was kept looking at the picture then I realized kekI was gonna say your setup is fine but then you said video. From what I know Panasonic has always had good video with the GH series but more for like cinemafilmstuff because the Panasonic autofocus. If you mean vlogging and whatever then Sony has good autofocus, don’t listen to the retards on here who say otherwise. I mean it kind of depends on if you want like a small vlogging camera, a giant cinema rig, a flip out screen, external recording, all that stuff.
I'm somewhat convinced I need to buy some light equipment and the like before I upgrade bodies and lenses. I don't deserve the upgrade yet. Leaving Canon scares me a li'l bit too. Very comfy with their stuff.
>>4130254You might be the very last sane poster here. Get out before you start looking at snoy products.
recommendation for a camera strap? i want to stop looking like a noob with my camera broadcasted across the strap
>>4130276Love these, they will last forever.https://gordyscamerastraps.com/
>>4130276peak design is what most people go with
>>4130287thanks actually ordered the sage colored one before you replied.Is there a good tripod review or ratings website? I bought one from target but returned it because with the level meter on you can tell its shaky.
>>4130267I’ve already looked at the A7. It’s pretty cool but the menu is shit, I don’t like how it feels, and there was no zoom button. I may never recover from such slights.
>>4130337>zoom buttonLmao. Just stick to Canon.
>>4130379When in liveview I have a zoom button on my DSLR. Not Canon.Just saying

>>4130277To be fair most straps will last long because it's not like we're going to use them everyday right?The only time I'm getting strap that broke on me it was using a very shitty metal material that bend and snap very easily.As long you got it from bonafide makers with tons of good reviews you're gold.
>>4130012>>4129609I'm digging it. The EVF could be bigger and better but generally it's a nice size and seems great quality. I love the WB, ISO, Exp Comp buttons and the focus select switch.

>>4130408So these combinations get the same depth of field but the Lumix will require a stop less of light?
Will Olympus ever make an L mount camera or are they ded now?
>>4130425I've interpreted the company that acquired the camera division as one that sort of just keeps brands on life support and milks residual R&D until people stop buying in, in the hope of turning a profit between that and liquidating any other assets at the end.
>>4130426Their claim is to "Improvise our camera technology and yet their PEN and OM series don't even have good proper dials even in 2022. Even Panasonic with their Lumix LX100 have proper dials.
>>4130428manual style dials are obsolete and only fujislug larpers want them, hence why even OM System outsells wormji
>>4130428Dials suck. I have a sony and still want less dials. These retards have stockholm syndrome from using shitty film cameras
>>4130428They were probably just releasing leftovers from Olympus. Only time will tell what happens in the next few years.
anyone using dehumidifying cabinet for gear storage?do these things really work?
>>4130400thanks exactly what I was looking for, forgot to bookmark it
>>4130481just throw some silica packets you get with random shit with your gear
>>4130481I have two of those same cabinets, 200L versions tho (HC200) and one with a non-clear door - 260L Sirui IHS260X.Yes, they do work and assuming you take care of your gear and don't rough it out every time you work/shoot, you can use them to keep your gear in a basically ''like new'' condition for years and years (Amazing for lenses.)
>>4130476Could use more buttons tho... I used to have a 1DXll and then a Z6ll before switching to a7RIV and a7IV and let me tell you... For a company that brags about usability, customizability and ''having tons of buttons'' they have surprisingly average number of buttons and switches, even compared to a Z6ll from Nikon, which by the way allowed me for more button customization than my new a7IV that was marketed with that as one of it's main selling points. So yeah... I would need two more buttons on the front of the camera, near the lens mount, similar to how Nikon cameras have it and an additional customizable button, preferably two, near the shutter button or near the C2 and Rec buttons, similar to how 1DXlll, D6, Z9, R3, R5, Z6ll or Z7ll have... If there were 2 more, preferably 3, customizable C buttons on Sony cameras, I would have no bad things to say about Sony cameras, aside from the horrid design/ergonomics.[EXIF data available.

>>4130523The problem with silica packets is that it need to be replaced one day and majority of people tend to forget to replace it.>>4130531>Don't rough a cameraI have camera that became my daily carry. I don't think I can keep it at "like new" value.I knew many people point out that many used Leicas have "like new" condition but I bet because a lot of people are too scared to carry them daily. I really want to see a well worn Leica.
>>4130473Anon, your illiteracy is showing. If you actually read about those figures, you'd know it was only about lens sales (so not directly related to body design) and only in Japan, where they have a strange fondness for some less relevant brands relative to most of the world.
>>4130481they work, especially when you have jungle climate.
>>4130673 they lose in the BCN body charts toocope harder fujifaggot

Lens bros, I got a small scratch on my 100-400.Doesn't seem to affect my image quality as it's in the far outer edge of my front element.No idea how it happened, I went to blow debris off then use a lens pen, saw the scratch in the light.Should I even bother getting the front element replaced? It makes me sad knowing it's there.
>>4130724At least with dials it can be physically replaced.With buttons, you have to check the circuit board to find out what need to be cleaned or soldered, but it need specialized technician, and some problems in circuit boards are unsalvageable.Physical gears can be fixed, you can even use metal lathe or 3D printer to replace the bad one.
>>4130737You know dials are just switches on top of circuit boards the same as buttons and clicky wheels correct Less durable actually because they stick out
>>4130742lmao you don’t know shit
>>4130743I know fuji cameras take softer photos than my phone

>>4130758>"I change my own goal post then I claim that I win that goal"- That man, not wanting to admit defeat, dancing in his emperor's new suit (I wonder if you get that reference)
>>4130725it wont affect the image quality. just remind yourself that humans have permanent skin scars and its not a big issue.
>>4130760Dials aren't reliable devices. It's a protruding assembly that moves a multi-position switch. Even worse when it's combined dials, which were always an awful idea but are a really awful idea on a digital camera.Do you know why dials are the least reliable rotating switch thingy? Because they also deal with random sideways and downwards forces since no dial turner is perfect, and because of their size, there's a lot of leverage on the base. A clicky wheel is just pressed on and turned, and it's small so there isn't a lot of leverage on it.Literally only one manufacturer was making cameras with dials for years. On their pro models, which are expected to be bought with people who use their cameras for work, there is not one single dial. What does this tell you about dial reliability? Buy a camera with dials if you want to pretend you can afford film but don't make any more bullshit out of it.
>>4130790>Only one company focus on dials for their high end digitals>Their cameras sold pretty well and even still fetch well in second hand market>No one complain about their dialsYou sayin?>Buy a camera with dials if you want to pretend you can afford film but don't make any more bullshit out of it.Joke's on you I got 8 film cameras in my collection for over a decade now. No ragret. Dials are GGGGRRRRREEEEEAAAAATTT!!
>>4130790Oh and just want to add:Leica fucking love dials as well. If dials are so bad, why a company with high rep in the industry use them as well?

>>4130915>>4130917It's almost like ergonomics matter and the only reason to get a gripless camera is faggy larping.

Any recommendations for a camera please?I've got this old Canon 30d. It works fine, produces good pictures, but of course it's outdated.I wanted to get a used camera again, first I was thinking about getting one for 400 $, then I thought maybe I should just go for one for around 900$.I have this Canon for a long time and just now I really tried to understand how the camera really works and how to shoot manually etc.I like photographing animals in every day situations. A dog sleeping on the street, some humans waiting at the bus stop, but also just empty streets or architecture.I've only got the 18-55mm kit lens and a 50 mm 1.8, so switching systems wouldn't hurt much, only that I'm already used to the Canon.[EXIF data available.

>>4130973I don't even know if I am supposed to answer to this.My main concern is the auto focus, newer models have a better auto focus. A better screen would also be nice, it's hard to see if the focus is right on the 30d screen, sometimes it's a little off and you only see it back at home on the computer. I'm sure there's more features on newer cameras that make them more convenient to use.
>>4130981>I'm sure there's more features on newer cameras that make them more convenient to use.Google it. If you just think the new bodies have so many new features wouldn’t people say something about it? Unless you need Wi-Fi connectivity or more MP for prints a camera is a camera is a camera. Don’t listen to tards here, buy a new lens and keep working on your own technique.
>>4130971Your phone. Or a sony A7RII, they’re getting very cheap.
>>4131000What about a better screen and better auto focus though? Shouldn't that help a lot?Feels weird buying a lens for 200$+ for a 60$ body. The next one I was thinking about buying for the canon would be a 24 mm or another wide angle lens.>>4131003Not my phone. How cheap do you think they are getting? My uncle just sold his, a few weeks ago, he didn't know I wanted to get some new gear. I could have gotten one cheap. Feelsbad.
>>4131034Again, what features do you actually want or need? Do you feel like the AF on your current camera is letting you down? Do you need more megapixels? Do you need stabilization? Also don’t bother replying to that other anon, he’s been posting in every thread telling people to either buy FF Sony or just use their phone.
>>4131053and he's right. based sony shill, destroyed of gear threads.
>>4130981Here's a tip: If you really want to know if newer model is better in certain feature(s) then the best way is to rent or borrow one. Get the feel of it for several days and try to make some comparison with your older camera.I'm lucky enough that there's several camera rentals in my country, but I don't know about yours.This is why I still keep my old ass camera. It's almost a decade but I still use it because the newer version only have wifi (that I don't really need) and touchscreen (that also I don't really need). The sensor is the same size and the accessories for the older models are cheaper.
Any reason to move from APS-C to FF? I mean, all I feel is bulkier bodies, bulkier lenses, pricier everything, and for what, to gain 1 stop?
>>4131180Even if it's only 1 stop that's a bigger difference than FF to MF.
>>4130910Maybe lavalier style microphones?
>>4131180If you use it to post online, just stay with APS-CIf you want to sell them in stock photo stores or print, FF. Or if you have the money, medium format.
>>4131180You already blew your load on a shitty camera and you will gain absolutely nothing by switching unless you can get 100% of your money back or somehow make a profit.You made a dumb purchase and now your camera is slightly worse for an application you will never use it for. You could have spent the same amount of money and had a better camera and the rights to brag about it on /p/, but it's too late. You already have the one you have with you and now you have to take photos. inb4 you don't.
>>4131234Oh shut the fuck up SNOYfag
>>4131180Move from APS-C to better APS-C>>4131235SNOYchad is right. SNOYchad is always right. /p/ gearfags get too uppity and he puts them in their place.
>>4131234I mean, I do take photos, I also like the small form factor of APS-C & lenses, very useful when hiking, skiing, traveling or whatever. I'm still not sure what I could use FF for though. I can see an usecase where I get 1 more stop when doing astrophoto while I'm camping in the mountains, but then I'd have to carry like 1 more Kg of equipment + bigger volume, which is a big no when on a 4 or 5 days hike and when I'm already sacrificing a lot (especially the food) to keep things tight in the backpack.But then maybe I could take advantage of the bigger sensor, and instead of carrying a fast (and thus bulky) lens, I could instead carry a slower (and smaller) one, thus going back at APS-C levels where I had to use a fast lens.But then, why not just keep using APS-C in the first place.So many possibilities... and no light to indicate which is the right path to follow.[EXIF data available.

I start the return order and they immediately refunded me the full amount and closed my order, I never had to send the laptop back.
>>4131580Amazon profited so much they don't give a damn about little loss like this. It cost them more money to investigate the matter. They also don't have to deal with shit like shoplifting.

I literally never use the EVF, just the rear screen, especially as it's quicker if I need to quickly take a shot at some fleeting moment that won't be there anymore in the next 0.5 seconds.
>>4132325Real photographers have always preferred waist level viewfinders to tiny eye prisms desu
>>4132326Yeah, I mean, even when I actually have time to compose and shit, I just use my camera at waist level like in the old times, with the screen at 90°, against my (not that big) belly.It's just peak comf. With free added stabilization, even.

>>4132570I'm always baffled by Americans return policy. I can understand 3 to 7 days money back guarantee, but 30 days or longer money back guarantee is ridiculous and stupid (unless it's certain item that have guaranteed long life span like RAM sticks or ceramic pottery). I mean seriously, a year warranty for cosmetics? Items for pets that can be destroyed in less than a week? FOOD?I understand that Americans are high trust society, but there's a difference between being trusting and being a dumbass.
>>4132014>Haha! I'm not the old man, YOU are the old man!What kind of argument is that?
Holy shit Sony lenses are expensive
>>4132705wtf are you looking at, GM V zeiss edition pro zooms, superfast "pro" primes, or normal lenses for normal people? sony really likes to rape the "pro" customers because they pretty much have to pay MSRP or switch systems, but everything else is pretty average in price with some lenses that are really cheap for how good they are compared to canikon. there's also tamron and sigma. only one schizo on /p/ actually hates tamron and sigma.
Correction: Holy shit, all lenses are expensive
>>4132707I’m intimidated about switching systems so looking at costs and all that. But really all lenses aren’t cheap. I’ve skated by on low end glass while I learned but I’m gonna have to put up some cash soon.
>>4132708In 1981, a canon 85mm f1.8 was $150 (= $490 today) and the f1.2 version was $475 (= $1550) and these lenses were much simpler and shittier than the most basic shit you can buy right now.
I think I should invest in some good lights before a new camera. But I need to get money coming in otherwise I’ll be the most geared up amateur. I’ve only worked with speed lights where do I go from here?

>>4133569>Larger cameras always have worse ergos.
>>4133570A larger camera is always worse to handle. Worse to move through crowds with. Worse to use anywhere but standing on a deserted street corner taking pictures of a lamp post.But I guess if you have a very niche application, a DSLR with a prime can be sturdy although you do give up a lot of AF, metering, and video niceties and silent shooting in return for that. God forbid you use the screen to check exposures as that will destroy your battery life (the sony has better dynamic range btw).

You're looking at minor gains in optics and major gains in in-lens electronics.>>4133577You have never once posted a photo while namefagging so it's a reasonable assumption to make, that you are a schizophrenic boomer trolling /p/ because he's mad at new technology for existing and making his 400 camera collection feel inadequate.
>>4133580>he's mad at new technology for existingHe has a GH6 + 100-400 too. He just trolls as every brand except fuji since he detests fuji for some reason. you'll see that very consistent across all cinecanontom posts
>>4133581>he has a GH6I'd hate mirrorless too if I was stuck with that piece of shit.
>>4133579so, do you agree that cinefag is indeed Tom?
>>4133588I’m Tom
>>4133590So, Tom, why do you keep coming back to 4chan even though everyone hates your guts and especially after getting permabanned? And why do you act like an anti-gearfag when you are peak gearfag?
>>4133579I never owned a Rebel in my life. My lowest end Canon was an Elan. Sorry to disappoint but I'm not Zach.>>4133580Wall of cope and telecentric lenses tend to be heavier because there's more optical path correction involved, they have to bend light harder.>small handsDidn't know I was talking to Marco Rubio.>top arrayYou operate those with your index finger not your thumb, the uppermost thumb buttons are for movie/stills mode, REC, AF-ON, AE Lock and AF point selection. You are the one who never handled a 6DM2. I actually tried the a7IV on Best Buy and it was every bit as crappy as I imagined it would be. It's like a toy you get before you grow up enough to use a real camera.
This janny action strikes me as odd.Are we not allowed to complain about our gear? Or are gear flamewars disallowed? Why are there 12 other gear flamewars still up then?Would be cool: Janny just deletes every gear thread no exceptions or considerations, if gear thread = delete, no warns no bans.Not cool: janny is protecting pentaxians hurt feelings while letting the rest of the board rot
>>4133596>I really don't like the OVFlol once again based reflex cameras separating men from soiboys
>>4133596If jannies just rangebanned vegas you'll see at least 50% less gearfag posts
>>4133595>It's like a toyDid you get confused and start talking about the dinosaur canon with limited use cases (photographing in the siberian winter)>>4133596>The lens is too softMany such cases with pentax full frame. God damn the lens catalog is awful for K mount. If they were going to have no sharp lenses they should have reduced the MP count to try and squeeze more dynamic range out.
>>4133597>soi: the screen hurts my eyes and makes me dizzy and its not what real photographers from the black and white leica days used so its bad>man: The EVF is the best tool for the job.
>>4133597I can't blame anyone for disliking a DSLR OVF. Modern focusing screens are thick and hard to discern detail with because they're strongly optimized for brightness and can't confirm focus worth a shit. Even the mirrors are less reflective than they were originally to allow for the AF sensors operation.Using a pre-AF camera's OVF is a luxurious experience in comparison, while a modern OVF is like the worst of both worlds, just the bastard child of a technological limitation. Only better than early EVFs, but modern ones are more than sufficient if you disable exposure preview (which on many cameras is stop-down preview that fucks your shit up past f5.6).
>>4133599>Did you get confused and start talking about the dinosaur canon with limited use cases (photographing in the siberian winter)You got it the other way round, the other cameras that can't handle tough conditions are the ones with limited use cases. The 6D can do even better than them in normal conditions.>Many such cases with pentax full frame. God damn the lens catalog is awful for K mount. If they were going to have no sharp lenses they should have reduced the MP count to try and squeeze more dynamic range out.That's the dumbest crap I've heard. A higher resolution sensor always gives more resolution for the total system, you squeeze more resolution out of a soft lens with a higher res sensor. You can even see this at lab tests.>>4133600>EVF>best tool for any job other than videoAt that point just buy a camcorder, even Sony has a good one there: PXW-Z190. Panasonic also has a good one, HC-X20.>>4133607I don't know man, I've seen Saturn's rings on the focusing screen of my 5DM3 with a 400mm. I could barely make them out because 400mm isn't a lot, but I saw them. Sure, some older OVFs are brighter but brightness was never an issue for me. I do have better night vision than most people though. I find split prism designs to be darker overall.
>>4133596The K1-II isn't THAT bad is it? Sounds like skill issue to me.
>>4133740It has the worst AF ever put in a modern DSLR, a flimsy hot shoe, and turns shadows purple
>>4133745A poor craftsmen blames his tools
>>4133752A poorer one buys a dull chisel with a wobbly handle that snaps in half and leaves purple smudges on the wood to begin with. Especially when a perfectly normal chisel costs less money. Make not an excuse for simple inadequacy. There is a such thing as a bad purchase.

>>4133778>>4133775Now you're getting tomfag levels of schizophrenic. I don't own a husky. That image does, however, suffer from purple shadows unless your dog, coat, and shoebench all have a magenta tint. ISO 9000 is way out of range for acceptable image quality for that camera.

>>4133911Check DMs
>>4133911IDK if your mk II's firmware is different, but on the regular K1, the histogram and highlight alert are based on the jpeg preview in live view, so focus peaking flashes red and makes the histogram look like something is overexposed>flat image though"no one with an opinion worth caring about"

>>4133900>pentax hates aperture rings now for some reason and their aperture ring placement is awkward to begin withFor a good reason, they're a piece of obsolete technology that has no use. I don't know why they keep including them. Everyone has moved on. Nikon ditched them with the G lenses, Canon ditched them back in 1987 with the introduction of the EOS line. The only reason I can imagine is muh backwards compatibility.>tldr if it were a canon or nikon DSLR it probably would have worked out better but sony is cool too and this was $600 for 420 megapenorsIt would have probably worked out just as bad, you're too stupid for reflex.
>>4133900Based hasphoto making the two worst nophotos on /p/ seethe
>>4133914That is the case for every live view out there including mirrorless, it's why uniWB is a thing. That's why Nikon Z shooters are using uniWB too, the histogram is based on the JPEG. You're supposed to use spot metering, meter for the midtones and call it a day. Or use matrix metering. User error.
