What's the best photograph you've ever taken?
What was it taken with; a DSLR, a phone?
I don't have that photo on me, but it was taken with a mirror less camera on the street

I took with your mother, that Full Frame mk I bitch
A pentax k3ii on a f4 200mm manual lens.
Why doesn't anyone shill for Pentax? The K3 is the best bang-for-buck APSC camera, period. It costs as much as a Sony a6000 on eBay, but it is a DSLR, has IBIS, 8.3fps, no AA filter, great autofocus, 24MP sensor with amazing ISO performance, and the lens selection is a bargain.
I mean really, you can get a 50-135 2.8(70-200 equiv), weather sealed, on your weather sealed body, for only $800 and the glass is amazing. Fujicucks pay 2x as much for theirs and Canicucks pay about the same, maybe less for smegma and tampon, but those aren't giving comparable IQ to bentax or canikon. Poorfags can get 1.8 primes for under $100.
It seems to me like Ricoh has made Pentax into what Fuji wanted to become. The colors might not be the same, but you can actually process the images in lightroom using its DNG raws. It's APSC perfection.

Im about to buy a new medium format camera
mamiya RB67 proSD mint (just new one. didnt even open the box) with 90mm f3.5 for 661.41 USD
or hasselblad 500c with 80mm f2.8 for 970.07 USD
>>3072250
hasselblad in A- condition I guess?
>>3072250
also I want to ask about durability of hasselblad 500c
I heard hasselblad is like medium format leica but is it just because of price or is it really tough like leica m serise?
>>3072250
Both are famous for great engineering, design, optics, and usability. Hassy is probably the 6x6 system that's the most sleek, elegant, and lightweight. Both Hassy and Leica have expensive maintenance and repair costs. Hasselblad lenses have leaf shutters inside them, so that's extra mechanical maintenance you have to worry about with each lens you buy. And Hassy techs are becoming more scarce.
An RB will be more heavy and clunky, and is more of a tripod camera than the handholdable Hassy, but will be more durable IMO. Also everything about it is cheaper in the long run. The lenses are great, just not luxury-branded.
The 500c is one of the older Hassys around, too, so unless you know the history of the camera and lens, you'll want to budget in a CLA if you plan to use it for anything serious.
Need a good caption for a picture contest.
Thanks in advance!

What's the best camera for close up shots under 200$?
(I'd also like it to be waterproof if possible.)
Hasselblad Xpan

Hey, poorfag, what's it like knowing have two and you have none
>>3071958
an entry level dslr and a set of extension tubes
wrap it in a bag for instant waterproofing
So I got into bird watching and enjoy looking for them and ID'ing them. I have a cheap spotting scope that is adequate at close range but really loses effectiveness the further out something is, especially if it's a small bird ($60 scope, what do you expect). I bought a more expensive one plus legs but returned them because while the quality was better in terms of range and clarity, overall there were glare issues and it was not worth the price I paid.
I'm thinking now I'm going about this all wrong and that I should put that money toward a nice camera instead that has a good zoom. With a scope by the time I set it down, find the bird, focus on it, the bird's long gone. With a camera I can just whip around quickly and lock on and at least get a quick shot off first, then focus better and get some more accurate pictures. Plus if the zoom is good enough I can just watch the bird through the screen and even take a video of it. As it is now I just have a small $140 point and shoot I hold up to the eye piece which isn't so good, but can on occasion get the job done.
So to anyone who is into bird photography how feasible is it to get a good zoom for a camera that could compete with a spotting scope? What kind of zoom numbers are we talking about here that I would need and what price ranges? I'm new to the scene and only know a couple people but they all said good things about the Canon 7D. Not a cheap camera but considering anti-glare and chromatic coated scopes will start at about $1000 I think it's about the same cost, plus I can do so much more with a good camera. Could I get a good image of a 6 inch bird from 800 feet away? I guess with this camera lenses are all sold separately of course so what would a lens like that run, if any are capable?
>Could I get a good image of a 6 inch bird from 800 feet away?
No... you're better off getting some high powered binoculars if you want to ID quickly.
>>3071202
The only camera in your price range that would be useful for what you want is a Nikon P900, but once you get on the long end of it's zoom range, the image will be so shaky (even on most tripods) you won't be able to readily identify anything.
Outside of that, the best you can do with a lens is an image stabilized 70ish-300mm variable aperture zoom (every camera company has several in this range and they're all kinda crap). If you want a good lens in this range, you're talking at least 50% more than your budget just for the lens.
>6" 130ish yards?
Pic related is a bird around that size at maybe 90 feet away, shot at 300mm.

Actually, thinking back, that's probably more like 60 feet away, or maybe even closer.
Point is, for the kind of reach you're talking about, you'll want something at or above the 1000mm range which will cost you as much as a decent car through the same amount as a pretty nice house.
If I want to take great photographs, do I need a DSLR or can I get away with paying $150-$200 for something like a Nikon Coolpix L340?
I'm looking for a camera that can replicate what the eye sees, which is not something a phone camera for instance is capable of. If I take a picture of the moon with my phone for instance, all I'll see is a blurry white dot. What sort of camera can pass this moon test?

You don't know what you want or need, or if what you think you want even exists. If you think you do, you fucked up before you even started.

>I'm looking for a camera that can replicate what the eye sees
Doesn't exist. What is close to it is a Sony A7s with a Stanley Kubrick's 50mm f/0.7 lens.
>What sort of camera can pass this moon test?
Any camera with a 15000mm lens (24x36 equ.)
>Nikon Coolpix L340?
Aahaaahhaaa. No.

Where do you live OP? Big city?
Also try finding just one building and taking about an hour or two to go around it, possibly inside it, look for its details and its nuances, work on your composition and take your time.
Do you have any examples of your work so far?

"Remember to take all filters off the lenses prior to shooting, including a UV filter, or you will end up with an undesirable aberration on all your images."
do lens coming with filters already on them? i thought that was something you had to add.
hey /p/ first time poster here.
I bought a Sony A6000 and looking to get into Boudoir photography.
I will start by shooting my gf and later her hot friends.
The question is what lens do I need for this type of application.
I was thinking about the Sigma 30mm f 1.4 art
please advise
post your girlfriend first, then we can help you about what gear you should buy by her body standards.

this one
It depends on the size of the shooting space. If you have enough room to stand back, a 50-135mm zoom will be a lot better at 2.8 than a 30 at 1.4. If you shoot outdoors and can go 70-200 or even 300mm 2.8, even better. You want subject isolation AND depth of field, not just depth of field or you'll end up with just one eyelash in focus with a meme 50mm or 85mm 1.4.

I need help from you guys. I had a mental breakdown due to depression and moved away from my entire family to try to fix this by myself. I was due to go work in Saudi and my senpai was so proud, I pretended I went over there so I could fix myself. They want me to text some pics of stuff over there. My bros are pretty good at IT so I want unsourcable pics of Saudi or Arab places? Petrol stations, shop fronts etc. Anyone help?

go on google street view and take screenshots, then crop out the GUI or find an option to disable it.
or just tell them the truth, because they are clearly suspicious already if they are demanding you send them photos and won't take no for an answer or accept whatever excuses you've already tried. they sound like they are worried about you and want to help you, and i can tell you from personal experience that you will feel like a massive weight has been lifted once you tell them and allow them to start helping you work through this.
Your family just wants to help you. You're hurting them by lying to them. Let them help you.
