Just got out of surgery, sold some vital organs to be able to afford this setup. Now i can finally take those family portraits i've always wanted.
but in all seriousness, why the fuck would anyone drop this much money on this shit
Because they probably don't own it unless they are very rich. You would either rent the camera when you needed it for a shoot or it would belong to the agency/company which you work for and which would provide it to you.
And that lens is a cine lens, it's not for photographers it's for movie studios which rent those lenses from rental companies that stock and maintain all that type of equipment.
And why don't you just shitpost in the gear thread instead of making more threads?
>>2854117
"people" don't buy them. Major studios, agencies, and rental houses buy them and then spend the rest of the gear's lifetime renting them out to artists who will use them.
The fujinon is a cinema lens, so it would be a rental house or a movie studio that would buy a lens like that and make its money back very quickly.
The hasselblad is a top-tier commercial product that will deliver unrivaled images and blows anything you'd produce from your shitty consumer dslr out of the water. It's something you'd use to shoot a 4 million dollar ad campaign, not the senior photos down in Fuxacousin, Alabama.

Hassy v d810 or something similar pls
>>2854280
Spoiler alert: The Hassy (or Phase one) win for everything except low light. More dynamic range, more color depth, higher resolution with a bigger pixel pitch, the hasselblad is 16-bit while the d810 is only 14-bit, hasselblad has leaf shutters in every lens, compared to a d810's slow, hard-to-sync focal plane shutter.
How should i shift from film photography to dslrs? Please help me. i got a low budget and i don't want the ,,sharp and real,, meme to happen. Also i don;t have dust on my lens or camera, just underneath my scanner's glass frame.

Never seen that.
But they did H4D-40 vs D800

I would be way, way, waaaay to scared to every rent or "borrow" this in fear is breaking it. What happens when you break it? Do you pay for it?
>>2855060
Insurance... come on, now.

I'd still be too scared. Maybe it's irrational but it's still a big nope for me. Not messing around with that kind of money.

They even put one in their logo.

The bit depth of MF cameras has been long debated and there isn't much evidence that 16-bit makes a difference, also the ADC units are still 14-bit at the sensor.
In terms of low light, those MF cameras with the Sony CMOS sensors are actually incredibly good, the actual problem is that you typically have a max aperture of f/2.8 on "fast" lenses, which counters the benefit of having such clean high-ISO.
>>2855441
Barring the glorious 100 2.2
>>2855441
There's very little point in going faster than f/2.8 on MF, since super-fast lenses trade quality for speed, and the whole point of MF is quality. Also, the depth of field gets too thin for most uses.

That's not a broken lens, that's a FD 85/1.2 hacked onto a Mamiya.

Ugh, 95% of wide-open ones are the same kind of pointless wankery I see from 85L and Noctilux owners. Higher quality borkeh doesn't really make them better.

You're using a 25mm image circle, not a 70mm one, and you're able to focus it properly because DoF isn't razor thin.
>>2856262
Ignoring those numbers you just pulled out of your ass for a second, the central section should be just as sharp and contrasty on any format you like.
The image you posted doesn't look anything like an FD 85L wide open.
Using a bigger piece of film doesn't magically add a shitload of coma and spherical abberation and fuck the bokeh in the ass.

>Using a bigger piece of film doesn't magically add a shitload of coma and spherical abberation
Not saying that the guy did a proper job on the mount conversion, but using a larger piece of film, especially larger than the lens is designed for, does add aberrations in the corners. They shouldn't happen in the middle of the image, though, so he also seems to have fucked up the focus and chose a particularly poor background.
>>2856273
>Ignoring those numbers you just pulled out of your ass
I didn't. If you want precise numbers, that would be 70.00 mm for a 645 film frame and 26.82 mm for your 550D.
