I personally prefer Voigtlander rangefinder in frameline offerings and aesthetic, so I am not haunted by the ``what if I had gotten a Leica instead'' feeling.

If you're in it for the Leica lifestyle, maybe you should save up a little more of a decent used M3.

Get the R2 for 35mm framelines, R3 for 40mm framelines.
The shutter's a little noisier but they're superior in every way. If you're poor, you're probably only going to be able to afford an M4 or M6, If you get an M6, you'll worry every single day about the corrosion issues.

voigtlander bessa Rs have aligntment issues. they're very easily bumped out of alignment. people on this board were shitting on me for not knowing how to focus or how my scans were shit, but it was the dumb camera all along

No, but his films were pretty good - dramatic angle game was a little too strong though.

those are great

>>2886480
you have low standards

>>2885854
If they weren't then even more retards would be able to make stupid shit

Think about this; you have an analog device which counts photons in an interesting way. The more photons hit it, the more power it lets through. Now you have to cram 12~50 million of them on a board. In order to collect color information you need a tiny dye over every one. the color must be relatively exact and consistent. Then you need enough ADCs to sate all of them, and interface them with computers which must decode and process the data from every single one every time a photo is taken. Some of these cameras can do it nearly ten times a second, possibly more if you're spending THAT much.
And we haven't even started talking about the camera yet

>>2885866
Lol!!! The concept of a digital sensor is complicated therefore the camera is expensive!!

Does mass production mean nothing to you? Incredibly complex objects such as camera sensors and CPUs can still be made for incredibly low prices.

>>2885677
I'm gonna guess the answer to your question is actually about shutter speed. You're trying to get that look of natural motion, not a slide show of snapshots in quick succession. What you have to do, regardless of the camera you choose, is make sure the shutter speed isn't too fast.

The basics of videography are similar to the basics of photography.

Learn about shutter speed and aperture and all that and then look at the difference between video shot at quick vs slow shutter speed.

>best camera for a cinematic look appearence videos
prepare for a thread of misinformation, bickering, and terrible advice

>>2885677
shoot 24fps at 1/24s.
crop to 21:9.
shoot flat profile and give it a yellow tint.
use 50mm f1.8 lens wide open. you probably need an nd filter for this. don't get a chink one.
or maybe get a chink one to flare it up.

Folder with neg holders

Dated folders with tagged RAW files

Print pictures out. File formats aren't as stable as you'd like them to think. A physical backup is always healthy to have.

>>2885638
Thanks mate

OP, did you shoot this at Wat Chai Mongkhon in Chiang Mai?

On second thought, ugh who wants to look at her ugly mug. File deleted. I'll post two I just took with my Moto X, to illustrate the point. (Yes I know the quality is terrible lel)

>just a normie who takes photos with my phone
The stupid "flash" you have is a ridiculous led with barely 2 meters of reach. It can't even trigger a real flash.

>Not convenient, esp when taking photos of friends and family, or a quick snap is needed
Well, it's the point of phone photography, being "convenient". Save some money and buy a real camera if pictures matters to you.

It doesn't matter THAT much (high quality photos), but at least getting the 'flash or no flash' question in each instance without having to fiddle or double check would be nice, hence the question.

My word, I was just about to post this.

>>2885629
Fine minds think alike.

>>2885635
indeed, sadly it doesn't look like we will obtain any help.

depends on the gig, and the quality you can deliver.

If it's a simple 1-2 hour photoshoot gig with some 20 delivered edited pictures, i might charge 200€

If it's a longer gig, like ~5 horus documenting an event, and with maybe some 100 pictures delivered, i might charge 350€. But it depends on what type of gig it is. I might charge a student association less than a restaurant. And weddings are like 250% at least.

But this is a real problem in the photo world, inconsistent pricing. Some dude who produced half the quality you do might charge double than you do and be might have tons of clients lined up. Success in photography is really mysterious imo.
But if it's your very first gig and you don't really have that much experience and there's a risk you might fuck up, i wouldn't charge more than 100 dollars. Justify it by claiming it's a days work at 12.50$ an hour. You might only be shooting 1-3 hours but the editing take up the rest of the time. Also make sure it includes cost for travel and food and insurance. Always make a profit.

Well first of all, can you guarantee good shots?

If the answer is anything but "absolutely" then you shouldn't charge much. Even easy gig work can be pretty taxing, thirsty work.

Do you know your gear inside out? Can it handle high ISO work? If not, do you know how to save it?

>>2885544
Well first off FUCKING RESIZE YOUR PHOTO, two, depends on how much time you spend shooting, editing, print or digital. Take all those hours and give yourself a modest $16 an hour.

I've recently bought a 680iii

Make sure the lens is in top condition - no fungus, no balsam separation, etc.

Make sure that there aren't too many knock marks on the body. Look for big scratches around the lens.

Don't worry too much about the counter - they're easy to reset and a service is relatively cheap. Think of using this camera like a 5x4 more than a point and shoot - you won't shoot too many rolls on it.

make sure you're comfortable with the ratio you choose before you buy - there aren't many 6x9 enlargers around and the wider the frame the fewer the shots per roll

the GW 670 is rare and the 680 is harder to work with, but do consider them before you choose between 645 and 690 as sometimes prices are good

the lenses are not as sharp as the 7s - there's some dispute over how good they are - this is a rare large scan (40-50MP) from a 690iii.

Do you have an MFA? Great.

No? You'll never make it.

>>2884695
Why do you need a degree for art? Isn't your portfolio everything?

a MFA is definitely not a must

i think it just takes a long time to actually make a name for yourself in the art world. your photos dont have to be good. its your name that sells.

I make a full time living as a commercial photographer. I can't complain, considering im 20 years old. It's not all fun and games and working a normal 9 to 5 would probably be less work but it wouldn't give me the freedom I have

Me

>>2884501
His Pittsburgh series is astonishing

how about we stop aping an "appreciation" for photographers of long past decades and realize that there are people producing the same caliber of work in the modern era every single day, they simply came after the burst in consumer technology.

He's great. Greatest? Fuck off you hipster faggot.

Here's how to decide

1) Use the gear thread
2) read the sticky
3) lurk moar
4) kill yourself
5) ???
6) profit

>>2884387

sorry I am new to these forums... where is the gear thread? Thanks

Nice bud man but that photo blows.

This is a photo about weed. That's all it will ever be.

You can't. The backlight isn't big enough.

>>2884288
Scan in sections and stitch.

You don't. Buy a decent scanner that does 5x4 or engage a scanner professional to do the work for you, numbnuts,
