Photograph and Camera talk

[Giles]

I have that camera/lens combo, I can manually focus.

Of course it's possible, but nothing like shooting with a proper manual focus camera.

Thanks for posting your process. The VSCO Film looks amazing. I'm sitting on Lightroom 2 back down over here. If I ever get serious I'm going to have to keep that in mind. Seriously next level photography.

Was fairly close on my fixed-length guess. only 15mm off, and had imagined f1.8.

I agree with you that the next-gen cameras a hybrid between the SLR quality and portability of hand-held is where it's at. Canon's EOS M for the canon owners (me), is interesting, but still requires crazy ass lenses on no body, so bulky still.

Thanks again!

thanks for sharing loghill
you could get a leica and a lens for less than that camera cost…

[Snowy]

jacoavlu, only Leica digi worth looking at is the M9, which is $6,500 body only.

[loghill]

Sorry, meant a digital Leica. I do have a titanium M6. Sold my M8 to get a used M9 but the prices never went down, maybe they'll drop when the new M hits stores…

[jacoavlu]

haha sorry I assumed you meant film

[Finn666]

@seanocono:

that's why I posted it as last ha but tbh. I have to admit I'm in love with it as well!

[Snowy]

1st one's got something about it too, caught utterly in the moment. His balance is great. Last once classically great. Amazing what happens when there's no internets :O. Well done Finn!

[Finn666]

I don't think it adds anything to the photo
keep shooting finn and thanks for sharing

[natehate]

you know what would look cool in that photo finn is if you just left it black and white nd did his tie and pocket square in color

[Finn666]

yeah, after looking at it for a few more minutes/hours I'm not happy with the outcome at all…think I'm gonna do it all over again at some point! thx gents...

Does anyone have experience with a Sony DSC-RX100?  I'd like to get into photography and it seems to have a lot of good features for an amateur photographer and I like that it's compact enough that I would actually carry it regularly.  Any input or recommendations would be appreciated!

Not a stills camera, but this is what I want for Christmas.

It's a 4K camera for $4K. They write onto SSDs, use standard connections, and all the smarts are in the software. I can see exactly where they're coming from in the design, and it makes sense to me as an IT nerd.

They've also announced a pocket camera, which has a 2.5K resolution for $999. It takes Micro 4/3 lenses, but could be easily adapted for Leica glass.

May have found some money in my company's books to enable a Canon 6D, 24-70 USM II L
