hey /p/ would this lens be good for night sky photography?
There's a gear thread for this.
It's a very nice lens and it's certainly fast enough. It might be longer than you want, though, especially if you're using a crop sensor, which you most likely are.
Lousy. Comas out the ass.

I got some pretty ok shots on a kit Canon 550D 18-55mm lens at F3.5
Lack of tripod messed it up, but the steady ones showed some good star exposure... you should be ok I think
salutations, /p/
i was hoping for some advice. my photographer father is retiring and has asked me to help him sell some items. including cameras, lenses, and bags etc. would anyone recommend anything besides ebay? he has a Mamiya RB67 and Pentax 645 just to name a couple of the more valuable items. thanks for any help!

That's clean OP, run some film through it and show us how it looks. I'd save it if I were you.
What are your favorite film rangefinders? I've never shot with one before but I'm thinking about picking one up. I found a good deal on a leica m3 but it's still super expensive. I've heard that they have the best viewfinders but I could also save some money and get a Canon P or Canon 7 for a fraction of the price. What do you think?

honestly, if you're planning on shooting with only a 50mm, you can't get a better option than the konica iiia
-great lens, based on the zeiss planar
-outstanding build quality
-very compact, more so than any interchangeable lens rangefinder
-1x magnification viewfinder, very bright, meaning focusing is a breeze, and you don't even have to close the other eye
-dirt cheap compared to other high end rangefinders because hipsters haven't learned about it yet (I got mine in near mint for a little over 100usd)
-leaf shutter, so ultra quiet and flash synch at every speed
only downsides are that the shutter speed only goes up to 1/500th, since it's a leaf shutter, and that they're kinda hard
Someone else was going to say it comrade.
>>2733662
I shoot an M3 and a couple screw mount Leicas, the M3 is a tank and lovely to use. That said I enjoy my IIIf for its compact size.
Leica for a film rangefinder, in my opinion is always your best choice because of it's resale value. You will always get your money back when it comes time to sell and sometimes make a little. Prices though range from stupidly expensive to relatively cheap, the same goes for repairs and you will need repairs.
The best viewfinder I have ever seen on a rangefinder was on a Zeiss Ikon. Lovely camera but feels a little cheap to me for the price.
of the cameras I have owned or shot
-Minolta CLE (also Leica CL) - cheap entry into the M mount system
-Leica IIc and IIIf (screw mount variants) - fun compact, can be frustrating having a separate viewfinder and rangefinder
-Leica M3 - beautiful camera that can be expensive or cheap, repairs can be expensive. .91 rangefinder only has lines for 50,90,135
-Leica M6 - had one for a month or so, .72 finder was nice and versatile but it didn't offer anything my m3 didn't.
-Hasselblad x-pan - really neat camera, the panoramic view is great and everything looks like magic with it. I cant justify the price though.
-Zeiss Ikon - best finder - best meter - feels like a Nikon FE
Honorable mention
Rollei 35 - not a rangefinder but interesting little camera. easily pocketable with a great lens (I had the Tessar)
>>2707493
fun to shoot with sometimes, film that isn't made anymore (only made by impossible project) is way too expensive. Find one that uses Fujifilm FP-100C and it's not too bad
Polaroid Cameras!
They are fun and worth it if you do your research.
I stick with B&W 2.0 from the impossible project. Their color film is not quite perfected but they upgraded thier color stocks.
Best results with proper lighting. I wouldn't waste your film indoors.
If you want something super reliable and cheaper gow ith FUJIFILM INSTAX WIDE. Also, lomogrpahy has their version coming out soon
Also, don't waste your film at night.
Make sure to clean your rollers or else they will distort your shots.After loading film, don't bother taking cartridge out. Your polaroid will auto eject(and waste your film).

How would you crop a picture like this? The shoulder of the guy in red in the left is a bit annoying and if I cut it the image looks strange, at least for me. Any advice? Thanks

Sorry for the silly question, but both of these images were taken with the same camera.
Why is quality of the images so different? left is more fuzzy, right is is more crisp and "higher quality"
>>2748626
The left is pretty obviously a 100% crop in on the image (maybe even more) and the right isn't. Also, assuming its an interchangeable lens camera, lenses have a tremendous effect on the final product. As does light, processing, and the technique of the artist.
despite what /p/ will tell you, a quality image comes from a talented artist, not a more expensive camera with high numbers on a test chart.
>>2748626
Good thing we don't have a thread for stuff like that >>2723069
The ISO was most likely higher on the left picture. ISO controls the sensitivity of your sensor, controlling how it reacts to light. The higher your ISO, the brighter your pictures. ISO 100 won't give you good results in the dark, while ISO 16000 does .. for a price though: noise.
The sensor noise is what you see in your picture, the ISO was simply too high and the sensor couldn't really take it anymore.
