Are cameras effay? Which do you think are the most? SLR or DSLR?
Post your cameras here.
>tfw too poor to get a leica
>tfw too poor for any camera
>>9690577
Go mirrorless; copped a6000 and don't regre it one bit.
>>9690797
Noice.
>>9690577
1970s era Nikons are nice, but Rangefinders are the most /fa/
The Fuji X100 models are a /fa/ compromise if you can't into film
100% /fa/.
Manual-focus Nikons are also pretty /fa/, especially the F3 or F2 Titan.
>>9691571
The X100 looks like a shitty plastic toy, it's like a Fisher-Price Leica. It's a pretty great camera,sure, but it's ugly and cheap looking.
>>9691623
That's why I said compromise. It looks better than most of the other DSLR/Mirrorless cameras on the market and performs well for what it is.
Just picked this Kodak Retinette 1B today. Shit is cash, feels so quality.
>>9691623
Find me a more aesthetic camera than this. You can't.
>>9690730
>thrifting
>leica
lol
tfw noone to appreciate my photos
tfw i had no idea how to operate my camera when i went to europe pic related
have a nikon f for that vietnam asthetic
I bought a Kodak Retina II from the fifties in perfect condition weeks ago.
effay as fuck
>>9691815
>>9690577
Oh god yes, SLR
any effay DSLRs?
I've seen some tight mirrorless cameras but >mirrorless
I would love to get into film but I am in the middle of nowhere, and as a result there are no places to go and get film developed.
>>9691992
>>9691992
also, I shoot film, but develop it myself (I shoot with Nikon FA). Buy some B&W film and diafine and dish soap. Pretty easy. Once you get comfortable with that branch out into more complicated chemical setups.
>>9692591
What a shit camera, it's so damn ugly too and don't try to hide that by posting a photo from its least unflattering angle. It could've been great but it ended up being such a fat ugly abortion. Goes great with a trench coat and cargo pants.
>>9691992
>get film developed.
You're supposed to do it yourself, that's the whole fucking point.
>>9692599
How could I forget about the FA, that camera in chrome was my first film camera. The FA is most certainly /fa/.
>>9692800
>You're supposed to do it yourself, that's the whole fucking point.
brb purchasing a nortisu and saving money for my future cancer treatment
Maybe for black and white bro, but not so much colour.
>>9692822
Then shoot black and white, why even bother with film if you're just going to pay to give someone else the privilege of doing your work for you so that they can give you a shitty jpg of your photo that you could've gotten instantly in the first place by using a digital camera instead.
Also a full Tetenal C-41 kit with all the chemicals you need is $25.
I submit this as the first /fa/ digital camera in the thread.
What's a good film camera for getting into photography?
>>9692838
I would say ask /p/ but they'll just yell at you and give horrible advice. If you want to learn the fundamentals of photography in the year 2015 then a digital camera will be much easier and can be much more educational if you use it right and read a book or something. Do that for a while and then move on to film when you're ready to add some more complexity.
If you just want a film camera as a fashion accessory then get an M3 >>9691815 because it gets all the bitches wet.
>>9692833
damn is bro. do you know that some people do own film scanners that are far better than the drugstore scanners? and that C41 is a standardized process, with chemicals that self oxidize with use?
it's far better to send c41 out for developing to a lab with fresh chemicals than to try to do it your self. that tetenal kit you suggest is a monstrosity with bleach AND fixer (blix) in the same bath. it was never intended for archival, consistent developing, it was supposed to be used by journalists needing an image at any cost. if you use the tetenal kit, expect your film to fade in a hurry, and don't expect colour accuracy either.
I shoot with a 5D classic and I love it.
>>9691878
It's not anything amazing, but I like it. You'll become more skilled as you gain experience.
>>9691878
that's sick
>dad used to take amazing photos
>developed his own film in a DIY dark room
>had a collection of amazing vintage cameras from the 50s-80s
>sold them all
>died before he had a chance to pass his expertise onto me
I have this.
Effay or not effay?
keep stroking to your negatives faggots
>>9692854
any books that you'd recommend?
I have a Leica compact, nikon SLR from the 80s and i'm looking to get a Rolleiflex next. Not really into DSLRs though...
>>9693241
>buys mirrorless camera with best AF
>uses mf canon FD lenses
Can't take Sony users seriously
>>9693189
>/p/ here, you're welcome.
this faggot
anyways, we all know that Leicas are the only /fa/ cameras, right?
>>9693512
As much as I want to get one myself, Leica users are the worst. Leica just seem to attract all the tryhards and talentless hacks.
only correct answer
>>9690797
Considering it, and the fuji x-e1 and the olym omd em10.
What bothers me about th a6000, apart from the usual complaints about lens selection from sony atm, is that the only ones I have access to are made in china.
Perhaps it shouldn't bother me, but it does. The fuji's and olyms are made in japan, or at least assembled there.
Can you guys recommend me a good camera app with a timer option?
>>9693663
What camera do you have?
>>9693669
>camera app

fucking try hard plebs, enjoy your overpriced oversized jewelry
I own a leica m2, pretty nice looking camera
>>9693707
>no it doesn't
it sure fucking does because I use it frequently. open camera app, across the top it goes flash - hdr - camera timer - reverse camera
smh kids these days
>>9692833
Do you own the GR?
Any dust probs?
That's one thing I'm worried about with these compacts that have popout lenses.
>>9693727
>camera timer

>>9693738
stop being a poorboy and buy the 6
>>9693738

>>9693738
update your iOS or something man, I dunno.
What have I done
>>9693786
nice camera mang
>>9693735
No the original uploader of the image but I've owned the GRv1 and still own the first GRD, no dust problems whatsoever since 6 years. Though some heavily used models like mine can have issues with the SD card and it resets your adjustments.
>>9691878
You took this with your handy right? Otherwise I'd recommend you to look out for a new camera.
>>9693196
It is, but the pictures are bad. The communists in the DDR used it frequently.
are my old cameras /fa/?
>>9693497
oh, so youre one of those people who think you only need a fast AF to shoot portraits right?
>>9693798
ALL DAY NIGGA
>own a low end DLSR
>too clunky to have fun with
>photos are brutally high-resolution
What's a good, affordable film camera/brand to look out for at 2nd hand places?
>>9693862
contax t or g series, konica big mini, olympus mju, every point and shoot with aspherical lenses (unless you don't like them)
Best SLR coming through!
>>9693798
what's your fave ye album?
>>9690730
lmao stop lying we're not retarded
>>9691954
haha i have one of these
very cool to shoot with
>>9693650
The only two lenses I copped are the 35mm 1.8 and 55-200mm kit lens that comes with it. And I'd say it covers pretty much everything I need. Not to mention they're pretty sharp and look amazing.
>>9693893
Does it delight you always?
SLR are sikk as fugg looking but DSLR has more function.
>>9693797
>>9692833
Anyone think that the GR would be a smart choice to learn the basics?
Compact: more likely to take it around = more likely to use.
If I take a real shining to photography then I could invest in a larger system with interchangeable lenses.
If that day comes, I'll still have a nice portable "in my back pocket".
Has a certain charm about it too.
Isn't that /fa/?
>>9693196
max is that you? you polish fuck
>>9694098
You can learn the basics with any camera. If you're on an intermediate level with a film SLR or any cheap digital camera, I'd say go for it. There is no need to purchase a DSLR though if you just shoot for fun, unless you have enough money for a good body and glasses, then sure go ahead and purchase one.
>>9694231
Thanks.
I used an old SLR years and years ago.
Nothing but a cheapo camcorder and phone cam since then. Have to relearn.
What about the RX100 m3?
I've got the cash to invest in a nice mirrorless system, but I'm thinking something smaller, more limited, to see if I really want to dip my toes into this hobby.
>>9694272
>I've got the cash to invest in a nice mirrorless system
And I mean mirrorless instead of DSLR, as I figure that I'd be less likely to go around and take pics if I'd have to lug around heavey/bulkier kit.
I live in a shitty, dusty and mostly desperate city in the third world, and though there are lots of idiot tourists that do flash their large, expensive looking gear around, something smaller, inconspicuous like the GR (or rx100iii - or even smaller mirrorless later on) seem more prudent to me.
>>9694272
You mean compared to the Ricoh GR? I'd say it has a wider aperture, higher resolution and is generally just faster, in terms of image quality, it's pretty bad. I think even an Iphone 6 has a larger sensor.
>>9694296
Anyway, if you have enough money just go for the Sony Alpha A6000 + external flash. In terms of being compact, light, easy to shoot with, just go for the ricoh gr.
>>9694073
Always and forever
>>9690577
>SLR or DSLR?
Neither, rangefinders are more /fa/ aesthetics-wise. But DSLRs are always going to be eons more practical. If you're serious about photography, then get good with a digital before you go out like a total asshat taking shit photos with fucked up exposures with your Pentax K1000 you bought at a thrift shop.
>>9690577
can you get digital cameras that look similar to this?
>>9694774
Olympus OM-D has some throwback design to it.
Enjoy your 8x10 prints plebs.
>>9695084
enjoy your *CLICK-CLACK* shutter
actually I like medium format but just not for street stuff or casual use.

How is this ontopic?
I want to get a GH4 as my secondary/weekender,but I currently own and use this SONY F5.
>>9695735
oops u cucks
Would probably enjoy playing with this (contax) ,just to get my stills skill up
is this /fa/ at all?
>>9694098
X100 is probably better.
>Has a viewfinder, a good one too
>Can work into fits better
>Doesn't get dust into it like GR does
>S and T models have usable autofocus unlike GR
>Never feel gimped unlike canon rebels for starting
The RX100 is nice if you want a nice compact though
>2015
Not shooting with slide film. Plebs...
Copped from a friend for 25. Works beautifully. Looks great.

girl i know got sent one for free w/ a 35mm summicron lens because some dude on the internet liked her pics
>>9696074
you have to give /fa/ credit though, they know a lot about cameras. Its weird though, I don't know how they do but most of these anons know what's good.
>>9696178
I used to lurk /p/ as my main board but I go there less and less because of the hostility and largely awful board culture. Now I mostly just take photos for myself and lurk /g/ and /fa/ instead.
>>9696067
Just get commie replicas.

pentax 6x7 > all
IS THIS A /FA/ CAMERA!!!?
Slr: Canon A1
Dslr: Canon 70d
Looking to get a solid manual viewfinder next
Rangefinder mirrorless are by far the most /fa/.
DSLRs are great but they are big and clunky and not /fa/. They are appropriate for a studio but that's it.
That being said I'm too poor to go mirrorless so I rock a d7100.
>>9692838
Yes film is good to learn in a way because you are forced to take time and figure out each function. But it get pricey to constantly buy and developers rolls. And when you do do this you'll probably forget the settings you liked/used for the photos that worked.
I would get a digital like >>9692854 said. Don't go running getting a top of the line dslr. Either get a used canon rebel (or other brands equivalent) or I started with a digital point and shoot that had pretty good manual options (except for focusing)
Don't be the photo gear guy thinking getting the best of each equipment is going to give you good photos. Get something workable that allows you to have good control and learn everything about it. What does what, how to do certain things you like in other photos, read, and just shoot a lot, as much as possible.
>>9696285
You own an 810 and find the most important thing about that camera is the ..megapixels?
>>9695802
not even a little.

>>9693797
What's a 'handy', do you mean like a hand held camera? It was very foggy and overcast when I took those photos and I couldn't into ISO at the time.
>>9691864
>not having the best luck in the world
Having a camera as an accessory and not as something you are actively pursuing is posercore and not /fa
Taking good pictures regardless of what kind of camera you are holding is /fa
Lifestyle is long game, worrying about day to day accessorizing is plebian horde tier

pf i was reading through poets reddit account you posted and found this
>Let me say that I've been working in Hip Hop for some 16 years now, and I'm Bisexual.
>But this aspect of me has never made a difference, even in a culture dominated by toxic masculinity and homophobia. I just do what I do, I try to make fresh joints. I scratch. That's all that counts to the people I work with.
>And for the record, if a rapper insists on negative attitudes towards gays or women or a race, I WILL NOT WORK WITH THEM. I don't care HOW famous they might be. Upholding my principles has been key for me, even if it's kept me out of a few truly great deals.

>>9693786
dope camera dude!
>>9698777
nice bait farg
>>9698781
Nah I was joking, mirrorshits are for fucks.
ITT: poseurs who think carrying around a 2lb piece of antiquated equipment just to look cool and make dumb idiots think they're some sort of artist is ok
Shooting film + developing at home is a waste of time, space and money. Its also a crutch to get away with bad photography.
These kids say dslrs are shit because they think you cant turn off af with a switch and think it cost too much money for glass and a body that is a wear item.
But consumer electronics are disposable even if you buy a mirrorless setup with no wear parts tech will update to warrant a new setup in 2 years and new glass in a new mount in 5
>>9698801
Why?
(not bait, just weighing up my options)
>>9698835
Meh, I've been shooting film for years, have my own lab assistant doing dev & printing, I just love the process and look of some films. Too many people are in it for the wrong reasons, they just want to look cool with their crappy Practika with shit 50mm's.
