I'm sure it's a great lens, but such a zoom range doesn't interest me. I'm likely to get 2 more lenses in the near future; a 16-50 SSM and a 70/80-200 2.8.

I think I want the minolta 80-200, but if a good deal comes along on the sony G 70-200 I think that's probably the better of the two.

thinking of getting a fed-boy stereo camera or an a7ii for completely different reasons. Don't really need either so I'm only willing to buy one

>>3101513

It is exceptionaly sharp, nicknamed the Secret Handshake.

The 16-50 is a crop lens, right?

>>3101532
Yes, it's a crop lens. I bought a crop camera. I am considering the equivalent tamron/sigma versions as well.

>>3101534

Oh crap, I wasn't thinking.

Been using the old Minolta a7 so I keep thinking in full frame terms.

Yes, as awesome as the secret handshake is, it is less than ideal on a crop.

Sony makes a bunch of cheap, all plastic primes which are actually pretty decent. Should take a look at them.

Should I get a pen f or an x100f?

>>3101539
Their cheap plastic primes use the SAM af motor. It's absolutely terrible. I had one once, promptly returned it.

>>3101543

The SAM is about the same as the screw drive. SSM is where is damn nice though.

But with how cheap old minolta primes are, the new plastic ones don't make much sense.

uhhhhhhhhh I did it

excited to sell off my 5dm2 and 24-105 to help pay for it

also sold a pair of yeezys today that will help

anyone want my 5d

Essential lenses?

Looked on Kijiji today to see what used GH4s are going for these days, about three months after the release of the GH5

Found one being sold for $1000 (CAD), owned for a month and hardly used. I'll be picking it up on Monday. Considering these are still going for $1599 new, this was a deal I can't ignore.

No need to keep my GH2 and t3i anymore. What would be the m4/3 equivalent of the Canon's Nifty Fifty? (50mm 1.8f)

>>3101613

I'm thinking switching from Pentax k50 + Tamron 17-50 f2.8 combo to Panasonic gx80 with kit 12-32 lens. 90% of my photos are f/8 iso100-400 nature/landscape/city photos. Do you guys think that I'll be missing anything very important besides body wr, a bit of D-range and bigger battery with this potential transition. Main reason I want to change system is size and aspect ratio.

I am currently thinking of spending 450€ on the Canon 24-105 F4 or the Sigma 24-105 F4, which one should I get?

Also, for around 500€, which lens would you get to complement my kit, I thought of primes but a 35mm f2 + 85mm f1.8 would be more expensive.

hel/p/

>>3101742
Get it. Best price to performance ratio on any lens ever. Not like there's much to choose from on apsc e mount anyway...

>>3101742
yep. this thing beats the zeiss touit 12 2.8 believe it or not, for 1/4th of the price.

>>3101750
>>3101751
Yeah, can't see any better alternative. Thought i'd ask just in case I was missing something. The only other lens I was thinking of getting was the Sony 10-18mm, until I saw the price of £700.

I'll just grab the Samyang for £280, or less if I can.

>>3101742
Get it, you won't find a better value UWA. It really is an amazing lens for the price.

Is the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 Canon mount a good upgrade from the kit lens? I mostly want it because of the constant fast aperture but is the sharpness significantly better than the kit lens?

What's a good app to Stitch videofiles freshly from the camera together on Android and maybe add Text&music?

>>3101758
Yes.

Guys, i have a Sony Nex 5 that i've used for a while with an 18-55mm, i used it mostly for portraits and landscape which was fine but now i want something better.
I have about a budget of $500 although that could evolve for more in the future.
I'm just wondering if i should buy a whole new camera (i've been advised the Sony A6000) or a new lens (i love wide angles but i'm thinking of a zoom instead of a fixed lens.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanx!

Trying to look for an entry level/advanced entry level dslr. Any suggestions on what to look for? this looks nice.
https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/eos-rebel-t7i-body-digital-slr

>>3101790
I think you should get one new lens and then start saving for a new body. If you want to get more into /p/ and you like the e-mount, the A7 series is for you.

For zoom, get a lens with a constant aperture of 4 or better. The Sony G 18-105 seems like a good value and covers a massive range.

If you want better low light performance or better bokeh, you will need to go with a prime with that budget. Something f/2 or faster.

>>3101816
What you're looking for is called intermediate or enthusiast level cameras.

The 2 digit Canon cameras (80D, 77D), Sony a6500 or A7 series, Sony A77ii, etc.

>>3101787
looks like a proprietary quick-release plate. There are open/standardized formats like ARCA SWISS or Akai, but they are based on a rail-design, not a snap-design like yours so either you find out what tripod it is or you are fucked.

>>3101820
thank you!

>>3101820
>2 digit Canon cameras
That's a weird way of spelling "3 digit Canon Cameras"

>>3101826
Would the panaleica 15mm do? :/

>>3101833
X100F is perfectly fine for people pictures, but you're not going to get a head-and-shoulders portrait out of it.

Hey guys, i've been looking stuff up for days, but I'd need some information from someone with hands-on experience.

I'm looking to make a shoulder-rig for my GH4 and would really like to put a lcd viewfinder on there for easier focus and composition. Most mid-range rigs I can find have a baseplate that's incompatible with the plate on the bottom side of most viewfinders. Any suggestions? Don't want to spend money and find out there's no compatibility.

Is there an equivalent to the pentaxforums lens database for other mounts? Like "here's a list of every [Canon EF/Nikon F/whatever] lens ever made, along with their parameters, sample photos, etc"

>>3101819
thanx! yeah i was recommended the A7 but it is more expensive...i might decide for it in the long run though.

>>3101845
The pentaxforums people are making a canon related forum (canonforums IIRC), make a suggestion there to make a lens database.

One lens to rule them all? By the looks of the sample photos, CA is very well contained and the image is more than acceptably sharp.
I wonder when if it will be rebranded for Pentax.

>>3101910
Not to mention WR as well.

>>3101910
It's not full frame. Pentax rebrands aps-c lenses too?

>>3101914
What difference would it make in rebranding? Seems to me like a hot piece for the masses and even for some enthusiasts who want a light travel gear, so why not buy the license instead of trying to develop a similar one for competition?

>>3101910
I had the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC and it's about sharp enough for Facebook. I don't imagine this is any better

>>3101919
Tamron did good with the latest 16-300, it looks like the further developed version going for longer FL rather than starting wider.
If the in-camera lens correction works well then they can pull off very well contained CA.
I read somewhere that the new lens development goes this way, instead of getting the perfect image in the optics they design the optics so it is easier to isolate fringing and CA in software and do the correction in software.
Plus the new coatings does a better job getting rid of those horrible ugly color casts and purple shadows in the older superzoom designs.

>>3101914
They have before. The 18-250 and 18-270 were Tamron rebadge jobs. I think the DA* 16-50 and 50-135 were Tokina optical designs.

>>3102002
As a self respecting Pentax user I deny the existence of the star in the DA 16-50, but the 50-135 is something I've been lusting for a long time. I would trade my 70-200 for one right away.

Which third parties make a good 'walk around' lens in the 18-135 category? Just something close to that range... 16/18 to 100/150mm.

>>3102015
Tamron and Sigma comes to my mind
Current lineup Sigma 18-200 (DC Macro OS HSM) and 18-300 (DC Macro HSM) look nice and the newer Tamron 16-300 is good as well.
With superzooms only the newer are acceptable, if you don't want anything over 135mm I suggest looking into first party options. Nikon and Pentax offers good options around the 18-135 range.
You will have to accept that you will sacrifice image quality for zoom range so don't expect pin-sharp results over across the frame and at all aperture ranges.
Don't get the old Tamron 18-250, 18-270, old Sigma 18-200 and similar era superzooms, they are nasty.

>>3102175
That's the only lens you'll need for now

>>3102175
this>>3102176
And a 24mm f2.8, which on a crop gives you like a 40 mm equivalent.


>>3102176
will give you a 64 which is kinda tight

>>3102176
No

>>3102175
Get the EF-S 24/2.8 for everyday walkaround, the 50/1.8 is portrait tele on crop.

>>3102179
>>3102180

Man, I keep forgetting about crop factor.

Why would anyone want a crop camera? Just seems like it makes so many nice focal lengths awkward as fuck.

>>3102183
Cheaper and lighter.
Don't be a dick, Anon.

>>3102183
eh, I use a m43 and the lenses are mostly designed around the x2 crop factor. Granted if I was buying an asp-c camera I'd get an x100 series, which has like 37 mm lens which is fine really. I wouldn't use a full frame if it wasn't as small as a rangefinder TBQH

>>3102189

I mean I get that, but if those are your priorities, you can get an a7 which is both light and cheap.

Or just shoot 135 film with modern lenses for dirt cheap.

>>3102190

The x100 is really the only Fuji body that I liked. Their whole x-mount line is massive.

Shame about the terrible lens though. I wish it was a micl.

>>3102207
A what?

>>3102219

micl camera=mirroless inter-changable lens camera.

>>3102224
eh it is probably a bitch to design an optical range finder with all those lenses and have them small and compact. Plus this is a really specific market they are going for with the x100 series anyway. Only thing I don't like about them is that the converter lens things are for 24 and 50 mm equivalence. Would have liked something like an 85mm.


I mean it isn't like most m43 users don't use a single pancake lens for 95% of the time they use their camera. I own a shitty kit lens, that didn't even come with the camera just because it is a pancake.

>>3102180
>Get the EF-S 24/2.8 for everyday walkaround, the 50/1.8 is portrait tele on crop.

Ok now lets say that i am mostly going to take pictures of trucks and heavy machinery, in that case which lens would you recommend me?

Is it worth going for the Eos M3/M6 over the A6000/6300 just to stay(join in this case) in the Canon lens family?

Or is Sony family the better long term mirrorless bet?

>>3101916
Rebranded Pentax ones are significantly more expensive and lack features. I wasn't trying to make a statement about rebranded. I just had a simple question.

>>3102274
> Is it worth going for the Eos M3/M6 over the A6000/6300 just to stay(join in this case) in the Canon lens family?
No.

> Or is Sony family the better long term mirrorless bet?
It is currently better. Even more so on FF mirrorless.

I imagine Sony will keep its lead with MILC for a while, but who knows...?

>>3102009
which 70-200?

>>3102302
higher price on rebranded lens is basically the premium you have to pay in order to have those lenses produced in k-mount. that's why nobody makes k-mount lenses of their own free will, it's not profitable

Seems like the cheapest way to scan negatives in actually good quality is to get an entry-level slr with many megapixels. does anything offer better value than a used D3200, which is 24.2 megapixels and used bodies are around 200 bux

Provably better off getting the Techart Pro adapter with the Voigtlander 40mm.

Cheaper than helicoid and it will autofocus the lens.

My boss if giving me some cash from the business account to get a camera so we can do our own photography. I already have some canon glass, I want to get a rebel t6, but I think coming out of my own pocket for the t6i would be worth it. What do you guys think?

What lens should I use to take photos of the eclipse in August?

>>3102837
As someone with a T5, I wish I shelled out a few more bucks for the i. Mainly because of the flip-out screen for different angles. Also it should have a higher iso range, but I'm not sure if you need that.

Why get a 17.5 mm voigtlander over a 20 mm panny?


I only shoot stills, no video. I usually edit my photos in lightroom an shoot in raw. I shoot on a pen f, I guess mostly street stuff? Anyway what are the advantages of dropping more money for the big and heavy manually focusing 17.5 mm over just using a 20 mm pancake?

Guess I'll ask here too, I've been thinking about an X70 as a nice pocket/second camera to my DSLR, any of y'all shot one?

I work at a camera shop so I can get fuji shit at about 50% street price.

>>3102921
Didn't like any of the Fujis worse than an X-T1.

At a 50% reduced price, and X-T2 or XPro-2 would be arguably pretty interesting.

>>3102933

>at 50% reduced price

Yea they really would.

Especially if they got rid of that terrible sensor and released some lenses.

Their body layout is great, but the are just lacking in so many other areas.

>>3102969

I initially bought a Sony NEX-3 mirrorless camera because I thought it'd be easier to carry around than a full sized DSLR, but over the years that I've owned it I've found that regardless you always need to bring it in a separate carrying bag anyway and if I'd ever get another lens it'd be even more difficult to lug around in spite of the pictures just being so/so so I just upgraded to a Nikon D5300. Did I do good?

(Please keep in mind I live in Korea so prices are very different here)

Generally second-hand stuff is petty well treated here but I felt a bit apprehensive getting a second-hand lens for my first DSLR. Wad just happy to find the 5300 was the same price as the 3300.

>>3103009
Pro photographers are starting to use A6300's and A6500's as their main bodies, if that tells you anything.

>>3103009

NEX is a point and shoot with removable lenses.

Alpha series are real cameras.

By "pro" you mean amateur youtubers.

Currently have an EPL-6 with a kit that I got as a gift.

I want to go beyond what I have, but I'm looking at paying 4-500 for an EVF and a 25mm lens. With that money and selling it, I can get a decent DSLR.

Is it worth it spending this much on MFT when I want to grow forward?

Do it, man. If you like photography and think it'll help you, do it. Even if it typically doesn't help everyone, you'll learn something from it. Maybe the equipment will you give more latitude to improve your photographs. Maybe you'll enjoy going out shooting more with a new camera than the last. If not, you can sell it. Either way, might as well try, 'cause at least you'll have the experience.

>You know tho, you can adapt any lens on it, right? I use my old nikon mount macro on mine with great results.

I can do the same with an e-mount camera and autofocus them. Plus I can use the native lenses for what I want.

I just don't see a reason to pay more for Fuji when it is less capable than e-mount.

But god damn, their bodies are sexy.

>>3103131
I have the same dillema. Fuji is a bit cheaper, more compact, but the E mount has IBIS, FF and probably gonna have more 3rd party lenses. And I rather like the styling on Sony, but Fuji just looks better.

Fuji is more expensive here. An a7ii is $200 cheaper than an X-T2. Size really isn't all that different either.

I kinda wish Sony would make a more stylized body instead if the all business feel(which is cool in its own way) the alpha series has.

Well, I wasn't looking at X-T2, since it was well above my budget. X-T10 was lately on an auction for about 500$, and that's a lot cheaper than A7II. Also, I really want an UWA lens and those are lotsa cheaper for APS-C.

Recently got a X70 for when I don't feel like dragging around a DSLR, but still want to be able to take decent photos.

Overall I'm happy with it. I was worried that I'd miss having a viewfinder, but it's really not too bad. Ergonomics are good, considering the small size. Having dedicated dials for apperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation is great. I feel a bit forced to use auto ISO, though, since I haven't been able to assign a control to it that isn't too awkward.

Main downside to me is the short focal length. 28mm is just a bit too wide for general purpose, would love if it had been 50mm or just 35mm.

It offers two crop modes that are easy to switch on/off on the fly, but you just lose too many megapixels. Would have have been more useful if the camera was 24 megapixels (like X100F). Anyway, it's good enough for web or Instagram I guess.

>>3103256

Yea, I as eyeing that uwa 10mm Voigtlander (does x-mount have anythibg that wide?), but it is close to $900.

>>3103271
There's Fujinon 10-24 f/4, and narrower Touit 12/2.8 and pretty good and lots cheaper Rokinon 12/28. I'd probably settle on the last one, so, I'd need at least 18mm on FF, and there are barely any cheap ones for Sony.

>>3103223
> probably gonna have more 3rd party lenses
This has already happened a year ago, hasn't it?

>>3103256
> X-T10 was lately on an auction for about 500$, and that's a lot cheaper than A7II.
But it is no A7 II. It is more like a A5100 or something. So yea, of course it's cheap.

>>3103280

There is the Rokinon 14mm on Sony, roughly the same as on the Fuji.

The zooms are all ridiculously priced though.

>>3103284
Whichever is better than Pentax K-50, I'd take it.

>>3103289
Not even sure if that is so. It seems almost as good.

[Actually almost as *bad* to me. I'm personally not going below a A6000 or D7200 or such even for hobby use.]

went to pick up a free beseler 45 enlarger just now. came with a couple xbox heug boxes of shit. just got home and went through them. all the darkroom supplies. dozens of developing tanks, reels, sheet holders. so much filters. couple nice lenses. so many 4x5 film holders. get to bottom of box. two graphlex speed graphic 4x5 press cameras, one plain, one u.s. army issue.

also a bunch of 30+ year old 35mm/120 negatives and polaroids of who i assume is the woman i got this stuff from and her husband who it belonged to, naked and fucking and shit.

is it worth it to buy a fuji x-e2 at this point in time? it's not that hard to find ones for around 400 usd, and ideally I'd like to spend less than $500 on a body. the camera shop in my area has a lot (like, maybe 7?) used a6000's that they're trying to get rid of, but from what I've seen, the fuji is better for stills. thoughts?

>>3103390
Sure. I've got it. Recent updates have brought it in line with xt10 in terms of functionality. As a fun camera to use (not professional) I have great fun with mine and a 27mm lens.

>>3103390
Btw just be aware that you might be spending less on the body but that saving is a bit meaningless when you consider that in the long run you will be spending lots more on lenses, especially since the Fuji lenses are so expensive.

>>3103398
I'm just gonna adapt film slr/rangefinder lenses, lol. at this point, I don't anticipate getting fuji glass unless i can find something for very cheap

Well the 27 is cheap and still pretty sharp and can be had for around 200€ here. Would recommend or the 18-55, I use that as well.

What do I need to photograph the eclipse in august?

Are there any good cheap, compact and lightweight tripods that I can carry in a gym bag?

>>3103264
Bump for answer.

>>3103264
I'd favour the f2 because of the size and weather resistance.

I bought one of those large foldable light tents/boxes to use for some product shots, but I've been using some lamps I have to light it, which I don't think is ideal, as they're a bit of a pain to set up since I use them on my desk, so I need to keep moving them from there whenever I need to take a picture. I'm not really sure if this is the appropriate thread for this question, but what type of lighting should I be looking at for something like this? Those LED panels work, or should I try to go for something like a spotlight, similar to the lamps I'm already using?

>>3103429
Chinese carbon tripods are relatively cheap and often compact enough for a gym bag, yes. Look on Aliexpress for carbon tripods.

[Most of the ones I mean look like a Q666C, Dic&Mic E302C and so on - but there are many brands these are sold under.]

>>3103446
> what type of lighting should I be looking at for something like this?
Studio strobes with modelling light function are still essentially ideal.

But you can make do with photographic LED panels ("photographic" because most LED panels don't have particularly good CRI on their LED). Portable strobes also are good.

Plus of course adequately adjustable stands for all of these.

i've never in my life used pro gear, but people will always comment on how *professional* the photos I've printed around the house look.
is it more to do with the appearance of the tools, rather than the results of craftsmanship?

>>3103541
Well the autofocus is not great and the sensor means that the RAW files are not easy to manipulate in a lot of post-processing software. For those reasons I would say it's not a pro camera (A full frame DSLR would be more appropriate for professional work).

Of course at the end of the day, your photos will be good depending on your individual skill and that will trump specs anyday.

Total absolute photography novice here. I want to upgrade from my 40D that was given to me as a hand-me-down of sorts. I'm on a pretty limited budget. So limited that the top of my price range, or what I'm leaning towards now, would be a rebel t6i (body only because the lenses I have already would fit I think???). Any alternatives I'm not taking into consideration and any preferred sellers of camera/s that would give me the best deal?

>>3104093
> rebel t6i
Would never buy that camera, it's worse than even a D5200. First interesting Canon is a 77D or 80D or something.

If you didn't buy any pricey lenses, you shouldn't really feel forced to stay with Canon either.

>>3104110
Then what camera at a comparable price point would you suggest (that ideally comes with lenses of some kind)?

A friend asked me to look into selling a deceased relative's old gear and knowing nothing of photography decided to turn to you guys. Is there a better option than just selling piece by piece on ebay? Gonna post a few pictures, they have tons of cameras and lenses and other equipment I know nothing about.

Canon is actually charging 3000 USD for that shit.

And it's twice the weight of the mirrorless lens too.

Looks like a later model 190 legs. Head looks like a fluid head for video.
I have the older 190XB, bretty solid and sturdy tripod.
Put on a 498 ball head and you are set, you can even replace the QR plate to arca swiss compatible just with a single screw.

No, the Sony is doing better in that comparison?

Some poorfag here
Was shooting film for some while now but the cheap labs keep fucking my stuff up and I cannot handle their crappy scans anymore.

So I'm deciding to sell most of my film stuff, I guess I'm getting about 200-400€ out of it.

Looking for a cheap but proper compact camera that I can find used for about 300€, hows the X10 and X100 compared to todays stuff?

>>3104350
dev and scan your own snaps, it's piss easy

>>3104351
it would be if I'd have DLSR or if I'd get a proper scanner. But either way I'd rather not invest so much money if I don't have too much to spare.
I rather get a digital camera because of that. The price for a good scanner + all the dev cost is roughle the same as a compact in my pricerange.

>>3103718
My buddy sold it to me for 600, also I figured it would be more discrete since im a pussy on the street.

What the fuck is wrong with Canon what are they thinking??????

>>3104394
Canon continues disabling features to encourage people to buy their more expensive bodies

>>3104395
>>3104394
Or, y'know, you can just buy the 80D and forget about overly expensive fool frame bodies altogether.

>>3104394

All Sony has to do is release the a7iii for $2,000 with a free MC-11 for anyone who preorders and it would wreck.

>>3104397
>Sony provides MC-11 bundle
Then we'll just hear how X Canon/Sigma lens doesn't work properly.

>>3104396
Yes, go on using APlebS-C.

>>3104394
Well, it's a better camera than most Canon cameras.

But of course you're supposed to pay 2-3 times as much to get the other features. What else?

>>3104394
K-1 is cheaper.
And has more MP.
And better DR.
And is better altogether.

Will my new lens be delivered properly before Tomorrow so I can have it before National Leaf Day?

Spoilers; No it won't be

>>3104491
Why would you ever expect good things from delivery services?

any thoughts on the nikon d3300? seems like a really good bargain for someone relatively new to photography looking for something reliable with good quality

I like how you suggested the a7 and then recommended a aps-c lens
do you even use the sony ecosystem?

>>3104500
How about vs the 5300.. seems like it might be worth the extra investment.

^also this is a photography board of peace

>>3102175
sigma 18-35 1.8 if you got the cash
17-55 2.8 if you want to upgrade the kit lens or for some reason they 50 is your only lens. could get the tamron vc version if you're poor.
rokinon 8mm 3.5 if you like fisheye or want to take skateboard videos
idk

>>3104508
Personally, I didn't think it was when I got mine. It was like $200 more for a flip out LCD, wifi, and more auto focus points.

>>3104508
D5300 is basically the same as the D3300 with some more features packed in that no self respecting photographer would care about.
If you want a better alternative look for a used D7000 or D7100.
Or look into the Pentax line, K-S2, K-70, used K-3 etc...

>>3104498
Sharpest at f/4 - f/5.6 usually, that's about the only thing that even needs explaining. Using it is dead simple.

How do I purchase a Voigtlander Bessa R3M from bhphotovideo?

I stay in India and this model does not ship anywhere outside the U.S. How do I get one if I do not have any friends or contacts in the U.S.?

>>3104497
A6000 or A6300 is a decent choice for a camera with an okay set of features. Or a D7200 or 77D or 80D.

>>3104516
Commercial proxy shopping service.

>>3104516
Use one of the many Mailforwarders in America. For example Shipito.

They give you an address you can buy to, then you pay them typically a 2 dollar fee, and then pay the shipping cost to India.

Oh boy. Micron just did a dickmove and fucked up the high-end Nikon market.

>>3104569
what

>>3104569
Uh, are you referring to them discontinuing the Lexar branded storage nonsense days ago?

>>3104572
Yup.

>>3104573
Doesn't Sony and someone else still make XQD storage cards?

>>3104575
They are literally the only thing that keeps the high-end Nikons functional right now.

>>3104571
Duopoly got turned into monopoly. Imagine what will happen to the the Nikon cameras is the last supplier also calls the quits.

>>3104577
Why should I care about deprecated storage systems? I bet the Chinese will satiate the demand.

>>3104576
Well, there are still storage chips on the market and al lthat.

>>3104577
I imagine they'll just sell the next Nikon with SD or microSD or something to their customers? Or they find a new supplier for XQD. Or such.

Should I return my 80d and get the 6d mark ii?

>>3104611
Why?

>>3104611
buy nikon before its too late

>>3104617
for full frame

>>3104620
i already have the nice canon 70-200 lens

>>3104631
>for full frame
Why? What does it do that the 80D can't and do you need it other than "muh fool frame" meme?

>>3104633
It's just annoying having winder angle lenses that dont end up being very wide, like my 24mm. I suppose you could say the extra $900 for the 6d could just be used on a good 16-35mm lens or something.

>>3104635
Why not just buy wide angles designed for APS-C instead, like the Sigma 17-50/2.8 or 18-35 Art?

>>3104637
So the sigma 17-50 is 17-50 on an aps-c sensor, it doesnt end up becoming like a 27-80? I hadnt considered these much as i figured they were probably lower quality. I also would like the better low light performance of full frame but that's more just a bonus.

>>3104642
The 17-50mm is a 24-70mm FF equivalent for APS-C sensors.
Your 24mm lens acts like a 40mm on FF so it is more on the normal focal length than on a simple wide angle. The kit lens is 18-55mm giving a 28-80mm FF equivalent focal length on APS-C sensor.

>>3104646
how much better quality do you get from full frame 24-70mm vs aps-c 17-50mm?

going to washington for the first time, will be visiting the coast & peninsulas as well as seattle.

will be bringing:

>D810
>50 1.4
>24 1.8

I may have a chance to pick up a new lens before going, what does /gear/ recommend?

I'll be shooting landscape/street/whatever else

>>3104652
If you know what you are doing, not much difference. If you don't know what you are doing you will make the same shitty snapshits on FF as well.

>>3104654
sell the two and buy a 35 f2

>>3104654
Samyang 14mm f/2.8 is my suggestion.

>>3104654
Id probably get something telephoto

Getting tired of my Rebel, kind of want a mirrorless. Is an a6000 for 400 Canadian loonies a good deal or should I try to find something else?

I have a Sony RX100M3 as my only camera. Want to upgrade to something that can give me shallow DOF. Any suggestions? DSLR or mirrorless, but I just read that mirrorless cameras don't offer much of a size advantage because the lenses will end up being larger.

Budget $1500

Completely false.

How much can I expect to pay for a used 6D once the Mark II is released?
