Photograph and Camera talk
-
mostly portrait/street/travel shots when I'm out and about with the family. Looking to spend maybe $500-$700 all in for a body and lens. I've seen lots of used Sony A6000's in that range.
-
Also found a Canon M5 locally for $450 with a 22mm lens. Intrigued by the touch screen, bluetooth and same MP as my d750.
-
The A6000 together with a Samyang 12mm and Samyang 35mm was my first setup and I absolutely loved it! The A6000 is still pretty decent I would say. Can also recommend the Sigma lenses if you're not into Manual shooting and appreciate Auto Focus. Invest in glass, not in body

@weftyarn This is as close as I’ve ever come to that and it wasn’t deliberate. I was waiting for the sun to set and there were some guys surfing,so I took a few shots,but neglected to adjust my settings for action photography. This is also the first surfing picture I ever posted on IG. Had to screenshot it to show you,and look who happened to like it way back then.

@Jett129 Wow!!! Yes, I wasn’t able to express it but that’s exactly what I imagined it to look like
Love the B&W pic btw!

I stumbled across this earlier today. As someone who can’t, I thought it might interest those who can.

Is there anyone here into Macro Photography? I have been doing it for quite some time and I have almost given up on it and I'm now trying to sell some of my gear. Is anyone here interested?
-
@the246guy I wasn’t using my Macro gear as well,and then I got a Lensball,and found that it was perfect for it. Maybe something to consider.

That was an interesting read, thanks @ARNC
Truly inspiring story that goes to show nothing is more interesting than the unordinary.

A few detail shots from the past days with the family.

New here and reading through the thread, some really nice shots!
Has anyone her got experience with some of the newer X100 cameras?
I had an X100 when they first came out and subsequently traded it for an X-T1. I then bought an X-T2 which has become my main camera but I pretty much always use the 35mm 1.4 and 23mm 1.4.
I miss the dimensions of the X100 (even though the X-T2 is hardly a large camera) and am debating trading the X-T2 towards the X100V.
Has anyone gone from X-T to X100 and not regretted it? I like to carry a camera most of the time and mainly capture street/architecture so the X100V is appealing.
-
I've never owned one but from everything I've heard and after I had the chance to spend some time with the X100V at the Fuji House of Photography in London (great place btw!) I can not imagine any disappointment with that beauty of a camera. If you can live with the "limitation" of only having very limited choice of focal lengths (with the adapters…). But that's obvious
If it weren't for the 56mm 1.2 (and possibly a 90mm f2 in the future), I'd definitely consider switching from my XT4, since atm the 23 1.4 sits on my camera for 90% of the time.
The best camera is the one you have with you and the X100V makes having it with you so much easier!

So true! I look back at all my photographs over the years and despite the XT-1/2 far outweighing it on the spec sheet, the best photos I’ve taken are all from the X100.

No experience with the newer x100 series but had an X100s, XT1, and XPro1, all at the same time.
For me, I loved the OVF but hated the absolute uncertainty or ability to know what was being focused on without having to switch or enable some form of EVF. The 14mm with the actual focus ring, similar to the 23mm iirc, was nice to be able to zone focus somewhat reasonably, but still left a lot to be desired for how I wanted to shoot. Of the bunch, I ended up using the XT1 the most just for how good the EVF was and its faster performance, but ultimately, I got frustrated with the entire system realizing I wanted an OVF and a camera that was much simpler without all of the crazy settings and menus. In the end, I got a leica and have never once looked back now having had the same camera for over 7 years with no desire to consider any other way of shooting, but I also don't shoot action or kiddos very often.

Yeah this kinda confirms what I’ve been weighing up for a couple of years. I’ve been coveting a Leica and Summilux 35.
Which model have you got? I don’t know enough about Leica really to distinguish which is the one to go for. I’m guessing the M10 or 11?
I see you can get a M9 for less than £2k these days. I’m not hugely bothered by megapixels so perhaps that’s a good option. The M10 is quite a step up in price.
