Is pentax even relevant anymore these days?
It doesn't look like anyone is making anything for them anymore. K-mount dead.

When will the dank memes about ancient Pentax lenses being "sharp enough to outresolve the sensor" die?

Why is Sony incapable of making weather sealing?

So, looking to buy a new low light lens.
Mainly do landscape/building structural fotos,

looking at a samyang 50mm F1.2 MF
or a -35mm 1.2-1.4 f stop

Im kinda noobish but not completely useless behind a camera too, other suggestions are appreciated too. Also trying to keep it under 500 CDN too

Why

>>2927195
cause cheap and fast
like I said im open to other suggestions

>>2927197
50mm is a nice "normal" look, but if you want to shoot big things, you need a wide angle. I'd say 24mm if we're talking fool frame here.

>>2927195
I use a 35mm on my aps-c for the same things. It is sharp, virtually no distortion so the best tool for stitching panoramas. Light and cheap. Compact.

>>2927214

30mm 1.4 sigma

Looking at the shots I'd say go for it. Ignore the pentax thing, I wish there was a similar database for F-mount.

Quick question, I just bought a working pentax 67,

Do I specifically need to buy the 6V lithium battery or will the Varta 6.2 "V28PX" be fine? thought i read somewhere i need to have lithium, even though i just played with a Varta battery in it and it worked

Non-rechargeable lithium batteries are lighter but more importantly give out a lot more amps while retaining their discharge voltage. Simply put they are much more stronger. Also lithium batteries have very very low self discharge so they keep their charge for a loooong time, say a year or so.

What are the pros and cons of a canon 700d vs a sony a6000? I borrowed a canon 600d and enjoyed it, I'm looking to buy my own and the size of the a6000 is tempting me. There must be drawbacks to the sony, though

Like bad UI, menu system designed to punish the user, no service or any kind of support, bad lens selection if you can't afford $3000 lens a piece, that sort of thing?
If you want the performance then you are better off with a D3300, D5500, K-50, K-70 or K-S2.

>>2927248
No. When the battery is under load it drops voltage no matter what. The nominal voltage written on them is for unloaded state. Plus the regular alkaline and carbon-zink batteries died quickly dropping voltage more so the devices needed to be designed for a wider voltage range to work.

That's one of the few lenses that makes the A6000 worth having.

The F2,8 Art line is also supreme for the money. Especially the 60mm.

>>2927239
the menu might not be as good but when you get your main settings done you only need to change a couple of things max, plus you get those two mappable buttons

the rest doesn't matter, you're only gonna get 2-3 lenses max anyway unless you're a pro or something. So you can get used or get an adapter for your canon gear

>>2927260
Protip: Pentax low end cameras are middle range by Canon/Nikon standards.

Why are there no weather protected low-end cameras? k-70 or k-s2 for first camera? I'll be out in the mountains, lots of light but the camera needs to be sturdy. Going to get the 18-135mm WR f3.5-5.6, seems the most reasonable.

If you had the option to swap a Tamron 70-200 2.8 VC for a Canon 85 1.2 II, would you do it?

>>2927269
These are completely different lenses for completely different purposes, what kind of question is that

>>2927265
Get the K-70 if you can for the PS or just the K-S2. Both are rugged and well sealed.
The 18-135 WR is usually called the premium kit lens but it has certain qualities of a super zoom. Later on I would get a 16-85 instead.

>>2927233
>Non-rechargeable lithium batteries are lighter but more importantly give out a lot more amps while retaining their discharge voltage. Simply put they are much more stronger.
Rechargeable Lithium are also ridiculously strong. Can't say if you have many good choices for your camera though.

>>2927271
But what if you were given the option?

>>2927287
What am I shooting?

Subject and how I approach subjects is what dictates lens choice. Without that, there's no real way to answer.

Best 14-24 f2.8 lens for nikon? pretty much for landscapes and maybe little bit of astrophoto if anything, there are some cheap sammyang but is worth it?

Lens A has 13 elements in 11 groups.
Lens B has 14 elements in 10 groups.

Without looking at MTF charts, is there a general rule of thumb that hints which lens of these two is slightly better than the others?

>>2927374
More elements in less groups usually hints there is an apochromatic group is present but that many elements suggests it is a zoom.

Any pentax 67 owners out there with this magnifier?

I cant figure mine out; even after adjusting the diopter to most clear, the image is still blurry as fuck! Really dont understand what I could be doing wrong. Even focusing to infinity and looking through the magnifier it still looks blurry as hell at best.

Using the TTL prism is difficult unless its very bright out. Should I get a different focusing screen? I have the standard one atm I believe.

My friend is selling his Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens for $150. Is this a good deal?
I only have a kit zoom with my oly pen and I want something with a fast aperture. At first I was looking at the oly 17mm 1.8 but they price is considerably higher at $250 in the used market.
Is the panasonic 20mm already wide enough for my needs like everyday snapshots, street photography, indoor family photos and selfies?

Those are fighting words there Anon. Be-careful of what you say.

Why? Are you going to throw at me some of those 50mm lenses you can't afford?

Should I get a macro filter for my fixed 50mm or bundled 18-55mm lens?

>>2927669
No. Get macro extension tubes. Cheaper and doesn't degrade the IQ.

>>2927665
Even the amazing SEL-55F18Z is just around $800.

The E-mount has a lot of lenses a normal hobbyist can easily afford.

And if you were tight on money this month and just broke it, you could buy a FE 50mm f/1.8 for under $160.

>>2927674
Pentax has the 50/1.8 for $100 and the 55/1.4 star lens for $500.

>>2927673
>>2927669
If you also have a telezoom, get a Marumi DHG +3 or maybe +5.

Don't bother with non-achromat filter lenses, they suck balls.

Advantage vs extension tubes is that they keep more light. And unlike the other anon suggested (probably with shitty close-up lenses in mind), a quality achromat's glass is not very noticeable on most lenses.

Shots here:
https://www.flickr.com/groups/marumi/pool/

>>2927678
> 50/1.8 for $100
That's not even a FF lens.

And my point was that you can afford a 50mm on the Sony E-mount. That you could go down to a 50mm Yongnuo -which is an actual FF lens- on Canon doesn't matter for that.

> the 55/1.4 star lens for $500
It is *so* great that you can pay $500 for a much worse, non-FF lens.

Just check the sharpness field map for starters.

I sure hope you're shooting in deserts and need the dust sealing, otherwise this is just not worth it.

I think the issue is Pentax is actually losing what little traction they had. Sigma is now ignoring them in their new Art lenses.

But to be fair Sigma pretty much ignores everybody who isn't Canon/Nikon.

>>2927718
> Sigma pretty much ignores everybody who isn't Canon/Nikon.
Now Canon/Sony, at least for this month's 8 newly announced lenses.

Which will initially be EF and E-mount followed by PL mount later.

Cinema lenses, so they'll probably actually be too expensive for /p. But I'd say in the context of who gets ignored, (not) getting 8 Sigma lenses must count something.

>All these Sony tears

Nikon D750 or Sony A7 II.

Or A7S (II) if better low light capabilities are why you want FF.

>>2927795
If this is for work or frequent hobby use, just buy a good modern lens.

Otherwise, why not? Or a Tele Rokkor, a Zenit, a Contax... all of them are probably gonna be decent enough vintage toy lenses.

>>2927795
You can also look at the Pentacon 135/2.8, there are two variants, one with 6 aperture blades and one with 15 called bokehmonster.
Both made by Meyer Optik Goerlitz DDR and have excellent image on digital. M42 mount, but you didn't state what mount you want to use it with.

So /p/ what is the best camera for you between the Fuji x100T, the Ricoh GRII and the Sony DSC-RX100M4 ? i want to do versatil type of photography but no studio and no macro. i have a price range who go up to 1100€

You just need a good lens profile.
Which are easy to find.

>>2927906
>versatile type
Get the Fuji X70 or Sony RX100 IV

>>2927778
D700 is a lot older than D600.
It was a nice camera for its time, but it can't do video and image quality isn't as good as modern cameras.

D600 has some issues with oil splatters on the sensor, but it's no big deal if you clean your own sensor.

>>2927911
>no big deal
It is a dealbreaker for many, especially considering how Nikon handled the issue. Released the D610 with the necessary fix and did fuckall with all the cucked D600 users.

>>2927906
At 1100 Eurobucks you could long have bought an interchangeable lens camera rather than a fixed lens one for your "versatile" use.

Honestly, you probably want to do just that.

Considering upgrading from a D3300 soon. Should I fall for the fool frame meme or stick with a crop sensor like a D7200. I've got 2 crop sensor lenses (kit 18-55mm VRII and a 55-200mm VRI, and an old 28mm f/3.5 AI which could be FX) and one 50mm 1.8G which I believe is FX.

I just bought this lot for €170, did I do good? Of course, the camera is quite old, but I didn't want to spend top dollar on a digital camera whilst I only really shoot film. What would be other cameras you could recommend for second hand DSLRs? Which lens system is the most versatile? I was originally looking for an Olympus OM-D so I could use my OM-system lenses with an adapter, but the OM-D is m43 and the crop factor will lead to weird tele effects, apparently. Is there no way to effectively use film lenses on DSLRs?

>>2927952
Do you actually need FF? If not then stay on crop and get the high-end body with the features Nikon likes to lock down on entry level like two control wheels, ergonomics and firmware features with a D7100/D7200 or maybe the D500 if you have money to spend.

>>2927952
Well, do you need a D7200 or D750... or can Nikon perhaps upmarket you even further?

The only reason I'd need full frame is for the low-light performance and any possible speed it might afford me (though as far as I can see, the most I can get is 6 or 7fps shooting RAW). The D500 is a bit out of my budget (being >$3k at the moment), but a $1200 D7200 would be perfect

Can work with some lenses on some DSLR.

But I'd suggest you just do the adapting with an A7 II.

Like I said in >>2927963 I need a faster and more professional camera than my D3300, and my options are either crop or full frame. I often shoot things at high speed in low light, so better ISO performance would be a plus. So I'm stuck between a D7200 or an entry level full frame like a D610, or whatever Nikon plans to release soon.

Look at an A7S or A7S II.

You can get 11FPS on a Sony A6300 or A6000.


Though the D7200 is a compromise for something cheaper too.

>>2927963
>FF low light meme
Your D3300 is already capable of that, don't listen to the Northrup idiocy. DX does NOT capture less light than FX. Your sensor is already one of the best today. What you gain from an upgrade is AF performance, better controls and more in-camera features. While the D600/610 gives you upgrade in sensor AREA it lack in AF and you will have to spend a lot more on lenses.
The D7200 gives you the better AF, better control and features while you can use your lenses you already have. IMHO this is the better option.

Hello fellow /p/hotogs.

I just made a cracking deal on the Swedish equivalent of craig's list. Some dude posted an ad where he sold out out a bag of gear that had been lying in his closet unused for some five years.

He just put a pic up and said camera gear for sale, asking price $100. Saw the ad minutes after it was posted, recognized the pentax K10D w battery grip, a pentax flash, plus the two cheap kit zooms 18-55 and 50-200. On top of that two additional lenses where you couldn't see the brand.

Saw the ad minutes after it was posted and just contacted him right away saying I took his offer and that my brother would be over to pick it up very soon. Thought it looked like good fun and value regardless what the other two lenses were.

Turned out it was a Sigma 18-50 mm f2.8 ex dc macro and a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 ex dc. The flash was the fairly recent Pentax af fgz360.

My brother said the guy was a bit stumped cause he was literally flooded with mails in the half hour it took him to get there.

Making a conservative estimate looking at ebay closing prices I reckon this bag of gear would fetch around $650 on the used market today.

Will play around with the K10D but might sell it later together with the kit zooms. The Sigma lenses and the flash will go on my K-30 for sure.

Just had to share that with you guys. Anyone else with stories about good deals on craigslist / ebay / thrift store / pawn shop?

>>2927984
Cool.

>>2927984
Even if it went for $300 it would've been a good deal. Now it's a killer deal depending if the Sigmas are in good condition. Did you ask why he was selling?

>>2927968
How is the learning curve from Nikon to Sony? I've hated every other Sony product I've used and if it has shit menus I'll probably pass. I'll have a look at an A6000 the next time I'm at a camera shop to test it out.

>>2927969
So full frame doesn't have 2x better performance with high ISO than crop sensor? I was under the impression bigger pixels meant more light collection.

>>2927976
>zoom out and crop later
>50mm prime
Okay... I might be getting a 35mm prime in the meantime so I can get that wide aperture and speed. I'm still learning so I take snapshits for granted.

>>2927992
He said it had just been lying around in his closet to no use and he was in the process of getting rid of stuff. He lived at a pretty fashionable address in Stockholm so maybe he didn't care too much about money.

>>2927994
> How is the learning curve from Nikon to Sony?
Small.

> if it has shit menus
It has the Sony menus. Which are mediocre, but not shit.

Main settings is a sectioned a list of lists, fn button has 12 tiled settings according to your preferences.

There are some other UI elements like a color diagram for the WB correction selection and stuff like that, but it's overall not particularly fancy.

> I'll have a look at an A6000 the next time I'm at a camera shop to test it out.
Sounds like a good idea. Also look at the A6300 and A7S if you were interested in the D7200 anyhow.

>>2927994
You need good lenses for that. Also the D610 has an old sensor with worse gain than your crop sensor in the D3300 or in the D7200 meaning the difference is small, smaller than 1 stop.
The D3300/7200 sensor compared to the Canon 5Ds R sensor the performance is pretty much the same with the usual worse shadow recovery in the Canon. The pixel sizes are the same more or less so the DR and noise performance will be very similar.
This is why I said you have to have a proper need to go for FF apart from sensor performance. You gain much less form the D610 than from the D7200 and for more money. Much more money considering buying FX lenses.
I say go for a fully pimped out crop body and maybe later if you have the need go for FF.

>>2927994
>So full frame doesn't have 2x better performance with high ISO than crop sensor? I was under the impression bigger pixels meant more light collection.
No, you're basically right. Still very much depends on the exact sensor, though.

>>2927998
The A6300 and A7S seem a bit far out of my budget, since if I'm jumping ecosystems I'll need lenses too (or a metabones, but they're still $$$). THe A6000 seems fine, same megapickles, quick autofocus, etc. so I'll just play around and see which is more comfortable.

>>2928000
Thats a good plan. And I'm really just saving up for this as a side business since I've lucked out that my recent jobs have been in bright, midday Australian sun, so I might be better off with a wider prime (like a 35mm f/1.8) and a better crop body until I'm pulling enough for a full frame or comparable better crop.

Ive had an a6000 last year and I totally did enjoy that camera. Takes great images and playing around with adapters and legacy glass is a lot of fun. I only sold it because I had the opportunity of getting an A7 for a price I could not refuse.

A6000. No regrets.

>>2928009
Judging by that blurry as fuck photo you have more of a lens problem. Getting better lenses is always preferable to switching bodies.
That blurriness though is messing up my eyes, did you have a bit of hazing on the front element or were you shooting from behind a window (and glass sheets)?

>>2928014
So you traded off a perfectly good camera for one with worse AF? Why on earth would you do that?

Because I've been using legacy glass almost exclusively on both the a6000 and now the A7. I mostly do landscape shots that do not require (fast) af at all.

>>2928022
Yeah, you shouldn't do that mistake again. Glass sheets in windows are not even and usually have some gunk on and completely destroy the image. In that plane shot though there is no other way of making the shot (that was made by every plane passenger ever).
Shooting through window glass is to be avoided at all costs unless there is really no other option.
Also next time try to plan ahead, visualize your shot and try watching the scene with one eye closed to see how depth translates in your perspective. And learn about hyperfocal distance. Have fun.

Admittedly that skyline picture was a snapshit since I was taking photos from a balcony. Yeah, normally I avoid glass but its difficult when I see a shot while I'm riding in a car and I can't roll the window down in time.
Still not too aware of how to do infinity focus since instructions differ like "focus 2/3rds of the distance to the horizon" or use a hyperfocal calculator (which isn't perfect if you're up in the air and unable to judge distances. Let me know if theres an easier way

I guess so.

And I guess it'll give you a budget for like a Samyang 12mm f/2 / Sigma Art 30/60mm f/2.8 (or f/1.8) apart from the kit lens... or the adapter.

>>2928030
You need proper DOF markings on the lens or at least distance markings, without them you can only guess.
What I do is I set the aperture between f/8-f/16 depending on light and scene and just use liveview and put the DoF over the scene. I tried guessing it in the OVF but some parts of the scene were always a bit out to my tastes.
With distance markings only you can guess quite close.

>>2927561
But it's not 35mm, it's MF, like a lot of the old Agfas. Pic related is a somewhat old (1966) 35mm compact, but it uses that ridiculous Rapid cartridge system so I barely use it. It requires you to hand load 35mm film into an old rapid cartridge (max only ca 12 exposures) with risk of scratching the emulsion and the ISO is given by the length of a small metal bar, but I can't seem do get lucky and find some cartridges with normal ISO counts, only the ones for ISO 64. I once even ordered a whole box of old Agfa rapid cameras just for the cartridges, but they were all for 64. The 'fun factor' is heavily outweighed by the difficulty of use, even though it does give very comfy square photos. If you want a 35mm film point&shit, just go for a Trip35, they accept normal 35mm cartridges and have manually adjustable ISO up to 400. Also, the AE is somewhat better. They lack the classic look of Agfas though.

Modern Sony menus are leagues ahead of their old ones.

The NEX menus used to call aperture "background defocus".

Finally.

Ok lads tell me if I'm retarded. I want a cheap nifty fifty for my D3300 (looking to improve over the kit lens) and I'm thinking about the NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. The question is: will this behave like a 75mm lens because I have a crop sensor camera? I got confused when I saw people using it on a D7000 and wondered if they were getting vignetting. Is there a DX version?

>>2928470

Yes, you're wrong on this. The LAEA4 adapter's sensor is based on mid-end performance camera.

In theory Sony could release LAEA6 / LAEA8 / LAEA10 and so on at a much more rapid pace of improvement that cameras.
It would essentially be like updating CPU on your computer.
But they won't, for reasons.

Sorry if this seems like a shill post (I own a Sony), but I just find it a bit silly that Xiaomi is entering the enthusiast camera market. I just wanted /p/'s reaction.

Xiaomi makes affordable products. You can rejoice.
We harvest the benefits of low cost cameras at the expense China's air pollution and environmental damages.

The only thing I'm worried about is their smartphones, and having the Chinese goverment on the other side of said smartphone's back doors.

That was the a9, hasn't been announced yet.

Probably not true though. I suspect it is the same as the a99ii except without the translucent mirror.

>>2928472
But is it 50mm or 75mm on the D3300?

Oh shit. The A99ii is combining on-sensor PDAF with off sensor PDAF.

>>2928515
It'll have the same field of view as a 75mm on a FX/film body.

Pana and Oly (and possibly Xaiomi) should just makle an open FullFrame format. There are some interesting Niche experiments about to happen in MFT, like that failed, but ambitious, MFT actioncam, or the MFT phonecam.
there is no reason for licensing a Mount-System other than locking customers into a single economy.

Olympus recently patented some full frame mirrorless lens designs.

Nothing has come from it yet though.

>>2928526
But I want a 50mm?

>>2928555
35mm will give you the same fov on an dx-body as a 50mm on a FX/35mm film body.

>>2928560
But its a 35mm DX, doesn't the DX mean its made for crop sensor cameras and the crop factor doesn't need to be applied?

I want to buy my first camera and I have the D3300 in mind. Should I buy it with the AF-P 18-55 (for 427€) or is there anything better in this price range?

>>2928567
DX means that the image circle is only big enough to fill a DX/APS-C sized sensor and would vignette heavily on a FX/35mm sized sensor. The physical focal distance of the lens doesn't depend on the sensor size of the camera, only the perceived field of view changes.

>>2928567

Xiaomi usually makes good stuff, so that's nice to hear.

Can't imagine switching to MFT lenses, but competition is good for us.

Hopefully they'll make a camera where you can install software.

Olympus announcing new flagship live:

>>2928628
glad to hear, maybe I'll use it as a stills camera when on the go, since I have a MFT video setup, but the GM1 and GM5 already do a very good compact profile, Xiaomi will have to seriously impress with features.
Other than that, the new G80 and GH5 look awesome, especially with 5x IS and 10bit 4k, they will be a killer for minimalistic setups, i've seen what the GX85 can do.

80MB per raw file that means it needs to write about 1GB/s. How fast are SD cards?

If you're too poor to go fool frame, you might as well get the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM. Probably the best cheap telephoto you can get for crop Canon bodies.

EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is not particularly sharp, I wouldn't bothere since you already have the f/1.8 STM.

>>2928692

My budget is around $600 for a good telephoto lens. I have no real brand favoritism although I am quite fond of Tokina, Tamron, and Sigma warranties and build qualities. I'd rather not get another Tokina, though, since I really don't like the AF/MF ring switch.

I could get the Canon 50mm f/1.4 for about $300 (less after selling my f/1.8), it would be good for portrait photography but otherwise not sure. There are other 50mm f/1.4 or 30mm f/1.4 lenses by Sigma, Rokinon, etc.

>>2928696
You are seriously going to regret getting the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM to replace the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. The only real upgrade in terms of a 50mm for you is the Sigma ART lens.

Hiya, sooo here's the deal. I need to purchase a camera for school. Needs to be able to film, and take pictures (obviously). Also needs to be able to support a microphone. The recommendation basically said: Atleast a Canon 100D.

Any suggestions? Because I know jackshit about camera's.

>>2928699

Gotcha.

The telephoto you mentioned is only about $200; I can get a used one on Facebook classifieds for $100. Since my budget is a lot more than this, is there a better telephoto you'd suggest?

avoid the one with the gold ring.

everything else is fine

>>2928705
Depends on what you want to use it for.

Something small, light and fast enough for general telefunz, get the EF-S IS STM.

You want a bigger, sharper and more "pro" off-white, red-ringed lens? Get the EF 70-200mm f/4L USM?

Will most likely cost less, has tilting screen, removable viewfinder, more direct control, more lenses, aperture ring on lenses... Can't say much about image quality yet but I suspect it will at least be on par. The sensor is not the same according to Fuji and they have much experience making medium format lenses.

>>2928737
that evf looks like it was built in.

Alright so I'm upgrading from the kit lens on my NEX-6 (which won't focus for whatever reason). I'm like 99% sure to buy the Sigma 30mm f2.8 because i found that it was the most useful focal length and the price/quality seems hard to beat, but the Sony 50mm f1.8 is about the same price. Should I consider getting the Sony for that extra f stop or is 50mm too narrow on an APS-C camera for everyday use?

>>2928783
There is also the Sigma 30mm F1,4. If you don't mind paying a bit more.

>>2928783
50mm is pretty narrow for everyday use on an APSC sensor (80mm, like a short tele portrait lens). but I dealt with it for a better part of a year (got a nifty fifty first lens and ditched the kit lens entirely)
Unless you like it/can deal with it, you'll really never get any landscape shots and most likely end up shooting frames that isolate a subject. Which can be very good discipline for learning framing and composition.
the 35mm is more "general use" and would be more well-rounded. The aperture difference doesnt make that much a difference at all in terms of low light.

You might love or HATE using a 50mm on crop. I really loved it. But it's limiting.

>>2928785
yeah i checked that out but i can't afford it because i get import taxes on $200+ buys

>>2928791
yeah when i think about it, i rarely ever used the kit lens at 50mm. 30 seems like a safer choice for now, since i haven't really done portraits on the NEX.

>>2928783
The Optics are superb, 0 complaints. But the focus ring on these Sigma lenses sucks dicks.
I had to buy one of these foam tape and tape a ring around mine.

>>2928801
is it the metal one or the plastic one?
i think i read somewhere that the plastic one had construction issues

>>2928805
I'm not sure what you mean. The lens has a silver version and a black version, they are both metal.

the plastic ones can be found secondhand for like $100 though

>>2928818
Oh, that's the good one.

The Sigma F1,4 also went back to the ribbed plastic focus ring. They really are the best.

>>2928819
where are you looking? i found a metal one on ebay for $120, i was expecting the plastic ones to be cheaper but that wasn't the case.

babby's first analog camera?

I'm 90% sure it's a teleconvertor

>>2928902
Nikon F3. It can also be the last.

Should I buy an AE-II metered prism viewfinder for my Bronica ETRS? I don't like metering with a hand meter. Does someone have experience with it? I currently have an unmetered prism (I bought it with the prism, it didn't have a waist level viewfinder and I never bought one), so I'd like to compare the metered prism with the unmetered prism + hand meter, not with the waist level viewfinder some might prefer.

>>2928477
The difference in autofocus between LAEA4 and this is going to be night and day. This is going to be the performance of an A7RII but with even better native lenses, /REAL/ DSLR(t) autofocus, and real build quality. Probably actually magnesium and weather sealed vs. FE's half-plastic and not sealed BS.

>>2928819
That's still a RIP OFF because I bought my metal version for $100 brand new.

I need around 20 rechargable batteries for my equipments (studio lights, audio recorder, etc.)
I need them to have low self discharge. I heard the ones from Panasonic or Sanyo are good.
Can anyone recommend?

a6300.

Make everyone else jelly as you can adapt and use everyone else in the classrooms lenses.

>>2928749

Using a Sony sensor like every other Fuji camera I assume?

>>2929040
Most likely but they have modified it somehow. The Fuji representative specifically said that this is not the same design as in other medium format cameras.

>>2928783

I'd try to get the kit lens fixed myself. It is quite useful, even though I'd prefer a prime most of the time.

The Sigma primes for e-mount are almost all good. Only possible complaint I have is that they are not full frame (which doesn't matter on the NEX-6).

The Sony 50mm f1.8 is a fantastic lens, but it seems to be sold out everywhere. If you can find it I'd pick it up. It is a little long on e-mount, but it was my favorite lens when I was using crop.

>>2929027
Ya, Panasonic or Sanyo Eneloops *are* good, as are Hobbyking Turnigy.

You can also get the Eneloops as "Amazon basics".

Furthermore, things that don't draw as much power as a portable flash on 1/1 -say, remote controls, audio recorders and microphones, sound and light meters, ...- are theoretically just fine with Ikea Ladda, too.

>>2928818

When they discontinued them you could get both lenses for $200, I am pissed I missed them.

>>2928909

Aren't the mk2 FE's full magnesium?

Either way, I really wish Sony would make more a-mount lenses. Sure the line is already quite filled out, but it'd be nice to see some new stuff.

>Only possible complaint I have is that they are not full frame (which doesn't matter on the NEX-6).

I think they are using the same sensor as Hasselblad.

Developing new Medium Format digital sensor is insanely costly. Phase One had to charge 50 000 USD for the 100MP camera, just to keep a profit from the cost it took to develop it.
There is no way Fujifilm can pay for development of a new medium format sensor, and undercut Hasselblad's camera at the same time.

>>2929044
thanks.
Most important is that they they dont self discharge so I can keep them fully charged in my devices and dont need to worry when I'm gonna need them next.

>>2929049
Hasselblad, Pentax and Phase One use the same 50 mp Sony sensor but the Fuji representative said that this one is different somehow. It's most likely made by Sony and based on the same design but modified in some way. We have to wait until the camera starts shipping and reviews start to appear.
