Would 275mm be okay?

>>4296531
Thats the best image ive seen on 4chan since i got here in 07. Fuck yes. Would provide 1 quality fuck of ur choice in gratitude for sharing that. God damn.

>>4313873
Yeah, sure, it's a long focal length. Although depends on what you're planning to shoot. I'd get something longer for birds, but 275mm is fine for general telephoto fun.

>>4313926
It's a 1040mm lens for my 4x5 camera, so it may work if I crop a little.

I think I want to try using it for architectural, landscape, and maybe portraits.

>>4314008
I wonder if/when people are priced out of digicams and move to M43.

>>4314012
They want "cute" cameras, not cameras that look like they have a learning curve.

Counterpoint:
Appeal to "people" is not a great idea because as a rule, 50% of people are below average IQ.

Average IQ is still dumb as fuck and you're really not smart enough to succeed in the economy or contribute to arts and culture until you're significantly above average IQ. Average IQ is where you're just "functional" and need to cope about made up things like "emotional intelligence", "rule following intelligence", "spear throwing intelligence", etc (adding -intelligence to personality traits and rote skills that took you a lifetime to learn). Even apparently retarded schizoids like Kanye West, people you might THINK are stupid are actually in the 115-130 IQ range. Any dumber, and the human capacity for creativity barely exists. Only 16% of humans on earth might even be worth caring about - the rest - us - we're just nice to have around.

>>4314027
Yeah if the masses matter to you buy an iphone and stop using a pc/laptop/tablet. Thats what they do. Also watch more TV and eat less fresh food and more fast food. Also its time for you to start smoking weed. No, not dabbing, not just heating it up, smoke it or buy one of those ecigs that cause bronchitis obliterans. Do you drink? Well you only drink piss beer now, and you now drink twice as much. Thats what normies do. No need to stop at an x100 adopt the whole normie package so you can understand how retarded they are and how retarded you have to be to buy this shit camera with slow noisy AF that precludes shooting video or action and its defective by design cfa that results in phonelike smeary sooc jpegs and problematic, low detail raws.

Also, give up any cushy job you may have and work in an unstable service industry or blue collar job that pays under $20 an hour. That’s what normies do. Go housepoor, $2k-$4k mortgage. Financially fuck yourself until a shitty $1700 toy looks like a mythical status symbol.

I have an N70 with a mix of G/D lenses and some old 80s glass. Usually I'll shoot in P mode when i cant set the aperature ring, that night I was using a 35-135, but the focusing indicator in the viewfiender wasn't giving me the focus dot.

>>4314040
Maybe thats it. too blown out on the highlights. Silverfast gives me the ability to scan 16bit HDR RAW images, but I dont know any software that can process that. If I simply invert the negative it looks like its gamma 1.0 instead of 2.2

I got the Laowa Dreamer 2:1 macro for digitizing my mums olde 110 slides from the 70s. Turned out to be great, bc after i pixel-shift shot all my 110 slides and sold my Zf, I then landed in all my familys 35mm slides too. So with my z7 i just stay zoomed in at 2:1, orient my 35mm slide tray in the ES-2 in portrait, and digitize each slide vertically in three horizonal overlapping thirds, (ea third also bracketed -2,0,+2) and comp them all together as HDR in Affinity. Regardless of whether the original was shot in on 35mm or 110, my slides & negs final images are all 12,000 x 8,000. I dont actually need to know that the color of each pixel wasnt calculated by the bayer system, that fuckin algorithm works for every other image i shoot perfectly fine, & at least as well as my developers imagination as he’s developing my color film. so i really dgaf. I just need my shit to maintain the look & feel of the original film, which isnt a result of imperceptible color accuracy, its a result of resolution, and can’t be approximated by ai upscaling/blurring/sharpening bullshit. It has to faithfully preserve the elliptical pointillism of the grain, and that happens at about 96mp.

Some roastie on Marketplace is selling a Canon G9 with everything minus the box for $220. Has been up for months now. Worth it? Should I try to haggle for $160 or so?

>>4313914
Depends on how much value and joy it brings you. I only spend 10-20€ for digicams, because it has the best money/joy ratio for me. Collectors are willing to spend more because it offers them more joy.

>>4313914

What is a good travel video camera?

Thinking about a travel video camera for hiking and camping and that kind of thing where I might be out for 8-12 hours or even several days. I want better quality and more editing headroom than what I'd get out of a camcorder or gopro.

I think the top priorities will be
>compact size
>battery life
>efficient video codecs as storage will be limited

Any suggestions?

>>4313767
That sounds like a cool project. Got anything interesting yet? I wish I lived on a second story so I could do something like that.

is micro four thirds actually better than full frame in low light?

assuming you want a deep DOF ignoring bokeh faggotry and not wanting to blur backgrounds or "isolate" your subject

DOF for DOF, if you're trying to shoot indoors without blurring backgrounds f5.6 on micro four thirds at equivalent focal length seems to have deeper DOF equal to f11 and suffers less from diffraction at the same megapixel count, and that's 2 stops difference right there so full frame would already start showing noise just catching up to MFT

>>4313973
At the same resolution if you're getting diffraction on FF at f/11 (24mp) then you're getting diffraction at f/5 on 4/3. In terms of noise I would imagine FF would still have the advantage even if you have to stop down to get the same depth of field as 4/3s, because as well as the advantage from larger pixels the technology behind it also tends to be more advanced because it's the professional and more profitable format.

>>4313973
best case for m43 is you end up about the same
you can just stop down FF, and raise iso to compensate
since FF has better noise, you end up about the same once raised

>>4313973
No. SNR is SNR. Nobody really gives a fuck if your backround is 15% less blurry. And at most apertures and focus distances the background is merely less blurry, you're not bokeh-free. They do however give a fuck about diffraction smearing, chroma noise fog, and NR artifacts and grain. Because these make your photos look very, VERY close to an iphone 15 pro max not just even after AI cope, but ESPECIALLY after post processing copes

FF has several massive advantages over M43 in low light.
>Fast lenses with wide angles of view. M43 has no fast wides. Never will, unless its some super soft, manual focus shit like a speedbooster hack or chink/voigt (fancy chink brand) lenses. Buy a 24mm f1.4 and snapshit away.
>Larger pixels - larger pixels gather more light so there's less noise per pixel, a finer pixel pitch has the same noise per image but per pixel noise is worse so demosaicing fucks up = colored noise
>Or, more pixels - the higher resolution might lose its color sooner in the ISO range, but it retains more detail when the low light boss camera is putting out vibrant mush
>NOT AN ABANDONED SYSTEM YET - m43 died about when phone cameras got good, it's not seriously supported outside of camcorders, drones, and webcams anymore, while FF is transitioning to being the minimum for professionals just below the gfx100ii and h2d-100c - because APS-C is now dangerously close to phones

Define “low light.” I grabbed a Canon R6 because it can do 4k24 with a f/1.4 lens by near full moonlight. Full moon you can do 4k60. Which means you can easily do hand held by the same at a lower ISO (IBIS for slower shutter).

It’s actually overkill for most urban night shots though. Vegas as an example, you can get away with ISO 3200 no IS and 800 with IS. While I love FF, you can do most low light stuff with a modern aps-c and f/1.4 or f/2 lens, especially with IS.

>>4313218
No idea where you’re getting that impression of IBIS, it’s good for 4-5 stops on my R6 by itself, 6 with OIS, in the UWA to mild tele range, no leaning against anything. It kicks ass for non-IS glass.

But yes a tripod is the cheapest way to do low light assuming subject motion isn’t an issue. In that case you can even do film.

>>4314010
"low light" the way say, fujislugs do it, by just underexposing SOOC instead of overexposing to pull to taste and accepting copious amounts of motion blur, can be done on anything.

however stopping motion with thorough exposure and the lowest ISO you can manage requires FF+ and truly fast glass.
there's also the "equivalence is fucking fake thing"
>no equivalence between bayer and xtranny - bayer is superior in every way
>significantly larger pixels? no equivalence
>higher resolution? no equivalence
>video? larger pixels or higher resolution AND oversampled 4k = mogs crop hard

>>4314001
there's also the oly 75-300, but it's slower than the pana 100-300 and lacks in-lens IS (can't use it *with* IBIS on an olympus body, but i'd still trust it more than the camera's own at that kind of length), as well as the non-leica lumix 45-200; that said i don't own either of them so can't make a definitive recommendation without secondhand wanking over pixel charts, haha
>The Panasonic Leica 50-200mm would probably be the best choice but it's pretty expensive
yeah, some of the pana leicas are good quality and the 25mm shorty is a great deal but i can only guess it slipped through the management cracks somehow given how off the wall the leica zoom prices are. how's the olympus 25, by the way? i really like my little 17 and the 25 looks to be even better as a less wide brother to it, and the lack of the fun manual focus clutch of the 17 seems minor since you can still just use S-AF+MF and spin the floating dial anyway (i'm on an E-M5.2 so no phase detect AF, CAF is pretty much useless)

>>4313024
Canon EOS M with the 22mm f/2. I could never understand the obsession with fixed lens bodies when that combo exists.

>>4314005
Thanks again, i totally forgot about the 75-300mm. Do you own any telephoto lenses?
>how's the olympus 25, by the way?
It's a nice lens, I'd say the iq is on par with the 17mm f1.8, if you find one for 150/180€, go for it. Sometimes i find the 50mm equivalent focal length still a bit too wide, hence the purchase of the Sigma, but I'll admit that's just me being overly picky

>>4314009
right now i've only got the oly 40-150 non pro, sorry. still figuring out what's good in the system myself. great lens image quality wise when you get a good one- especially for something that goes $100 used- but there's a LOT of copy variation (vietnam made ones are supposedly better than china ones, none are made in Japan like some of the primes/pros are) and the built quality is... less than hopeful, given the size of the void in the back with the non fixed rear element and electric cables just kind of floating in there. no dust or weather sealing either and things WILL get dusty in there unfortunately. mine is a little tight to zoom past about 130mm but not noticeably decentered so worth keeping, and a good standard telephoto that works for my amateur snapshittery but not something you'd want at an air show or bird watching or whatever unless you plan on heavily cropping everything

>>4314015
*also there's multiple versions of the lens itself, the old non-micro Four Thirds version, the early silver ring M43 one, the later MSC, and the 40-150 R (which might be the same as the late MSC? it's what I've got and honestly both olympus and panasonic tend to drop the ball on differentiating lens versions or cheaper variants that came as pack ins)
