Not with that low potential. At least claim that MFT lenses are full frame.
>>2855412
desu MFT lenses are fullframe with a lot of vignetting
Has anyone transistioned from Nikon dslrs to Fujifilm XT1/10? Does it still allow you to take professional quality photos and was it a logically leap for you (or were you torn between other systems like Sony, M4/3, etc.)
>>2855417
>APS-C
>professional quality
Are you serious?
>>2855412
Full-frame is an abstract concept because it refers to the full size of the nearest film, which in digital isn't really relevant except for obtaining similar results to what you were used to using, assuming you're even old enough.
MFT is "full-frame" within the scope of its own ecosystem, because it's designed-for-digital with no film roots. However, a camera with a sensor larger than 35mm film but smaller than 40x54mm, can be considered "crop" format in relation to medium format, like the Pentax 645D/Z, IQx50, etc. which are designed to be used as part of a system with lenses that were made to cover a larger format.
>>2855418
Get out of here, street-shitter
>>2855419
>le semantics argument
FF means 35mm. deal with it
>>2855419
This is all completely incorrect.
"Full frame" came around during the film era, because "half frame" became a thing, full frame refers to an image 24mm x 36mm.
Here's some wiki to back me up
>The term Full Frame is used by D-SLR users as a short-hand for an image sensor format which is the same size as 35mm format (36 mm × 24 mm) film
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-frame_digital_SLR
>>2855418
I have seen a professional photographer using M43.
>>2855424
Yes, we've all seen digital revs "pro photographer, cheap camera" series
>>2855418
>Carrying a full-frame with 36 megapickles everywhere
>You're not professonal unless you do
Lots of professionals use APS-C. Not everyone is Steve McCurry and needs 35mm sensors for their work
>not using MF or LF film
>professional
famillamas
>>2855418
How big do I need to go before I'm professional? Full-frame? A medium-format Hasselblad? A large-format pinhole? Of course professional (even scrubby little freelancers can get professional photos from an APS_C)
>>2855431
>How big do I need to go before I'm professional?
There is no limit.
>>2855429
This nigga gets it. What's not to like about higher pixel density, cutting out the corners where lenses are weakest and getting more out of the center, and getting 50% more out of your long telephotos?
>>2855432

Thanks, Trump
FF a shit, if you're not doing sports/events a film medium format is quite competitive.
Missed thread death yesterday
Camera cleaning service suggestions from /p/?
1d MK II N shutter guy here. The Flickr guide to disassembling that 1DS Mark II, should there be a large difference between it and my MK II N?
>>2855539
there probably is. open it to find out.
>>2855539
Update on it: I'm gonna wait to take it apart yet, but from what I can see so far, the sensor looks fine, and everything else does too. I'm gonna order the replacement shutter and when that gets here I'm gonna take it apart. I surely hope it isn't gonna be super difficult with a picture/descriptive guide.
>>2855602
It's going to be a fucking bitch, and you're most likely going to break a few connectors, or tear a ribbon or break a cement, or at the very least, ruin the finish of your grip, without a walkthrough.
>>2855605
So the walk through should help then?
>>2855608
Very much so, if you can find one.
>>2855609
Okay.
Rip me
>>2855602
unless you have done teardowns or repair stuff before it's gonna be a bitch. lot of fiddly works, lots of screws and parts to keep track of to put back together, lot of chances to break ribbon cables. if you have a video camera i suggest you record the whole thing just so you can go back to see which part goes where.
I have this up for sale. full kit with two zenit ES cameras. is anyone interested?

you got it for a really good price. I am selling it much higher on ebay because I am in the US and I am hoping some buyers feel uncomfortable buying from eastern europe.
that being said I am selling the old FS3 version which does not have the cable release trigger, but the old style proprietary button on the bottom of the camera. I do not think it is easily adaptable to use with modern cameras.

Pretty much. Zenit and Pentax fags will shill their shitty film era lenses ad infinitum though.

Fellow shooters,
I've got my Nikon D80 for 5 Years now, it's my first camera, and i decided to get an upgrade. As I'm not selling photos or making money, I can't spend a fortune. I am just intrested in doing photography as a hobby, focusing on macro, landscape and wildlife (right now)
My gear is all Nikon oriented, Nifty Fifty 1.8, 18-135 Kit, Sigma 70-300 (Macro), Yongnuo Flash
For now, I think I should go with a D7100, which I can get for 550, plus selling my D80.
I thought about switching to a canon 7D, but I would have to sell all my shit ofc.
Opinions/Advices?
>>2855741
D7100 is a solid choice for your hobby uses. Also try to save up a bit of money for a 80-400 for wildlife.

They are 95% useless apps that do stuff that lighroom does 1000% times better.
It is catering to soccer moms with their first DSLR. Most of the stuff (star trails, multiple exposures, etc) it is better to just do manually.
They are tied to your SEN account, and download to an app folder on your device.
The only two worth bothering with (phone sync and phone remote control) are free.

sony A6000 if you want a smaller package and adapt old glass.
nikon d5500 if you want a faster and more reliable camera. Great grip as well, and of course, Nikon's large lens selection.
Hi Guys,
I bought this Pentax at Salvation Army for $24.99. Still debating if i should drop some film into it and test it out. I bought it primarily for the lens that was on it.
It came with a SMC Takumar 1.4/ 50mm lens. On the lens was another screwed on uv filter that say 49mm.
The camera body itself is in good condition except for where the hotshoe is, it is indented a little bit as if someone pushed down on the hotshoe part too hard.
Looking to get an adapter to use this with my Sony a6000, of course I need to get an adapter that doesn't interfere with the aperture pin on the lens.

Pros shoot Canon because they got suckered into it in the 90s and early 2000s, and because the majority of pros don't need the megapixel or DR advantage of the latest crop of Nikon bodies, nor can they afford to wholesale drop all of their gear to switch systems because gearfags on /p/ say they should.

>>2856388
>Pros shoot Canon because they got suckered into it in the 90s and early 2000s
Canon actually did have the best autofocus in the 90s, or so I've read. So its not so much "got suckered into it", as "picked a system and stuck with it".
>>2856391
>or they know nikon is cucked by sony and is hemorrhaging cash and will die soon
is there a chance this will cause the price of nikon shit to fall through the floor because nobody wants it anymore? That could be.. beneficial to poorfags.

Sure, but it's not actually happening in any menaingful way. Nikon is fine.
>>2856388
you put it quite well. if you were are newbie who would want to be a pro one day, what way would you go?

I saw that you can fit different lenses like the wide-angle to it

>>2856578

no
>I saw that you can fit different lenses like the wide-angle to it
wide-angle and telephoto adapters that screw onto the end of your lens are invariably shitty. They make a soft zoom lens even less sharp and add distortion and CA.

Nikon battery or third party battery ?
On amazon.ca ( CAD$Fag )
Nikon : 80CAD$
Third party ( Fosmon ) : 27CAD$
D3300 user.
>>2856651
Usually I'm all for third party batteries but lately it seems like the quality is pretty poor. In my experience the generic batteries have a quoted higher rating but substantially lower life than the OEM ones; by the time you buy 2 of them to get the same longevity you'd be better off with a single OEM. Also I think Nikon considers warranties void if third party batteries cause a problem with the camera.
If you can find a third party with cells made in Japan instead of China or some kind of guarantee it might be worthwhile, but those cheap Chinese ones aren't so great unless you buy a boatload of them for dirt cheap.
Give me one good reason to fall for the Fuji meme over M43 that isn't sensor size, dead system, or camera design related.
>>2856709

If DSLR prices dropped that low they'd still make a killing on lenses.
Nikon doesn't care about consumerfags, the professional segment is what really keeps it going and many professional outfits with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in system gear wouldn't even switch if Nikon's next camera was an actual potato with an F mount. So no, Nikon's not going to die because "lol sonycuck". Where the fuck do you think Sony got the money to develop their own camera gear? Outside of /p/ the Sony meme is nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if they start providing sensors again once the Kumamoto damage is cleaned up, because it's obviously very profitable for them or they wouldn't have done it so long in the first place.

>>2857074
No, the only one getting cucked by Sony not selling sensors is Sony. Can you not see how much larger their sensor sales are compared to their cameras? They're much more reliant on that profit than the meager returns on their in-house cameras.
Nikon got hurt when the D300s replacement took so long, and now the D500 is out but uses a Sony sensor which has been temporarily restricted in the wake of the damage to Sony's sensor foundries. But here in cheese nip land retailers still have stock and nobody's panicking. The only Sony sensors in their current lineup are the 5300 and the 500, so the real moneymakers, the 7200, D4, Df, D5, and lenses are all completely unaffected. Yeah, their financials took a hit, but you don't seem to understand the stratification of Japanese corporations. It's an established and prestigious brand with a very long history and corporate benefactors will keep it around regardless as one of Japan's most recognizable international figureheads. It's not going to go under just because it's losing money in a difficult market.
I can't say the same for Sony's poorly-supported afterthought of a camera division.
>>2857109
would the D3300 also be a moneymaker?
any picture i see from someone calling themselves a tog student or an amateur that isn't using a rebel is using a D3x00 so they've gotta also be popular
>>2857118
I think they bring in a much slimmer profit margin, honestly they're fairly well-equipped for entry-level and share a lot of components with bigger bodies but they have to appeal to cheap soccer moms and students.
I imagine it's more financially viable to have a lower margin on the hook that gets people interested and then make up for it with lenses, accessories, and bigger, more profitable bodies in the future.
I suppose it's not too dissimilar from the way some drug dealers operate.
>>2857109
That's completely wrong, though.
Sony only used Nikon to help boost up their camera sensor business. Now that Sony is established they don't need a pet-cuck nikon any more and Nikon will be discarded like a cum rag.
Also year on year sale of nikon is down 30%.

Sony's semiconductor business is ESSENTIAL. It brings in FAR MORE money than their camera division does or ever will. You keep bringing up that Nikon was down in sales, but Sony's camera sales were down nearly 13% in Q4 and they lost $97 million fucking dollars. A large part of this came from decreased demand from their sensors (and that arm was only down 5%!) Nikon's sales were down but they still MADE PROFIT AND REDUCED THEIR DEBT FROM THEIR EARNINGS.
As manufacturers transition away from Sony sensors they're going to be hurting even more and they'll drop you fucking meme camera faggots in a heartbeat.
Ball's in your court now. Fight me, faggot.

nikon needs sony sensor. they are not gonna get sensors from canon.
and when sony doesn't give nikuck sensors anymore, how is nikuck gonna make cameras without sensors?
>>2857151
Take your shit back to the sony/sensor circlejerk shill thread. This is not /gear/ material.
And fuck you.
>>2857135
muh brand and muh national pride is the essence of Japanese corporations.
Nikon has around 25,000 employees, the vast majority of which are in its imaging division.
Sony has 131,000 employees, of which a small minority are in the camera division. As long as they kept their semiconductor business untouched they could lay off or reassign them without a huge impact to corporate operations. But they're fucked without that semiconductor revenue. They're not the only game in town, and now that they can't make the chips the jobs are going to fall to other foundries.
>>2857151
No, they're going to get sensors from Toshiba (like they've been doing for years) or design their own and get them fabbed by Renesas (like they've been doing for years).
It's time to stop posting, you're only embarrassing yourself.

Renesas has tiny capacity compared to sony.

D3x used a Sony sensor but that was a faggot camera anyway
Don't know the D5 designation but it's not a Sony sensor.
Besides, I'm not sure where this nonsense about Sony cutting off sensor sales came from. The only hard bit I can find is this quote:
>....We have decided to terminate the development and production of high-functionality camera modules for external sale which we were preparing to mass produce at Kumamoto TEC.
And this comes from the DEVICES section of the fiscal speech, NOT the imaging section. Since they distinguish between "sensors" and "modules" quite clearly throughout the presentation I can't imagine how this rumor even started in the first place, with a module being an integrated unit of sensor+lens....which DSLRs obviously don't use. Also it basically just says they were killing something they PLANNED to make, not something they were currently producing.
http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/fr/20160524_sonyspeech.pdf

not a whole lot bigger than my K-50 but it is considerably heavier. Probably my best gearfagging decision was getting the 31/1.8 and 77/1.8 limiteds used like two and a half years ago, when a Pentax full frame was still regarded as vaporware on a Duke Nukem Forever scale. I'm thinking of getting that big bug-eyed Samyang hyper-wide. The 15-30/2.8 looks nice but I don't have enough money left over for it, and the Samyang wide angles have a reputation for (assuming you get a decent copy) being good at nighttime starscapes. Which is why I ordered a K-1, I'm going out to the western US this fall and I'll have dark skies with mountains around. I thought it'd take a few more months to arrive, especially after that earthquake.

I had to run some errands this afternoon so I couldn't play with it as much as I wanted, but I did go for a walk and take some snapshits (pic related)
Some first-day thoughts: The LCD overlay thing in the viewfinder is really nice. The control dials are all really stiffly sprung - I'm surprised they even saw the need to put a lock on the mode dial. Viewfinder focus confirmation with manual lenses works well, like you'd expect. Cable release uses the same non-proprietary connector as my K-50. If you ask it to spit out a jpeg, it'll give you something Ken Rockwell-tier by default. The mirror and shutter seemed noticeably quieter than my K-50, which surprised me.

Is the function dial as useless and arbitrary as it looks?
Is the screw driven AF on the 31mm and 77mm loud?
Thanks for answering all the question about the K-1.
>>2857717
>Is the function dial as useless and arbitrary as it looks?
The dial is kind of a mixed bag. Some of the things on it are useful and I really like having a third dial for them - especially ISO. I can be in aperture-priority mode and have a dial for aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation, it's great. You can use it for exposure comp, too, which I imagine would be handy for TAv mode. No idea why there's a setting to make it a wi-fi on/off switch though, that just seems silly. But it beats menu diving and the not-so-useful stuff doesn't really get in the way, so whatever
>Is the screw driven AF on the 31mm and 77mm loud?
It's audible, but I wouldn't call it loud. AF seems pretty snappy, and it only gets mildly slower in dim light. I don't have an SDM lens to compare it to, though.

If you are actually using that body, I assume by "kit lens" you mean the 24-105? Unless you need something with a wider aperture or you're getting zoom creep, you might just be best off sticking with it. Although size is also a factor. Basically it comes down to what you actually want.

Get some carbon fiber legs that go to the height you need, and then pick a style of head, and get one from an acceptable brand. So long as you know the weight of your kit, and your usage, it's tough to regret a decision. Make sure the tripod supports the weight you'll be using with a margin of error for leg flex, be sure the head is rated for more than your weight, be sure the whole kit weighs little enough for you to want to carry it, and be sure it breaks down to be compact enough for your needs.
Above about $40, there aren't "bad tripods" just stuff that you buy without knowing what it's for.
>>2858044
>Above about $400, there aren't "bad tripods" just stuff that you buy without knowing what it's for.
That's the only thing I'm worried about with throwing money at it. I've read that an Arca-Swiss style head is a good choice.
>>2858048
No, I did not make a typo. Above FORTY dollars. If you're spending 300-400, and you understand your specs and needs, you won't regret your purchase.
Arca swiss is fine. It depends on how quickly you'll be looking to detach the camera, and how often. With arca swiss, you can get an L bracket to switch from landscape to portrait orientation without messing with the head, which might be desirable for you.
>>2858052
Apologies for correcting you. Thanks for the info.
>>2858055

Check out the carbon fibre travel tripods from Sirui. I've got the T-024x model, and can highly recommend that. It's light and fits inside my backpack making it great for hikes and shit. It's depends on how tall you are though, it might not extend enough if you're over six foot.
There's also the T-025x which is the much more well known model, and that thing folds up small as fuck. It looks a lot more flimsy though.

Okay, here's a question for you bickering little /p/eepants: do any of you have any experience with sticky leaf shutters?
I recently came to possess an old Yashica Electro 35 GS, which seems to be mint, except for the sticky shutter. Old lubricants gummied up between the leaves. The shutter needs a few actuations to get moving properly, so it's a real hassle to use.
What I gather, it's pretty simple to take apart and clean it, but what should I use to get the gunk off? Isopropyl alcohol or what? Will report back after the operation.
>>2858112
I would use 70% alcohol to dissolve the oil and wipe it with a cloth then relube the shutter.

It's a nice camera. 250,000 exposures on my GR over 2.5 years, and it's falling apart a little now.
Beware of dust.
The dial in front of the shutter button just kind of spins loosely now, and the pop-up flash spring needed to be replaced. Besides that and the dust, it's fine.
>>2858163
happy to hear you're enjoying it. I never expected a GR to have such a high count because it's usually the motor that breaks first, you know it gets dropped, bumped or damaged in a way that's common with compact cameras

Either that or a T6i, which looks kind of appealing as it is almost half the price but the only big difference I'm seeing is the ISO quality, which I find important but not 100% sure if it's $500 worth

At least go to a half decent xxD body, you'll likely much prefer the controls and the size. 6d is full frame, so if you have any crop lenses you won't really be able to use them.

I have owned several specialty photography backpacks, but for some reason, I keep finding myself using a generic laptop bag. They always seem to have more pockets and be just plain more usable than photo bags. I have a Swiss Gear Laptop Bag.
