I was asked to post this here from another thread:

>My camera Canon EOS R50 V fell on wooden floor. The impact was a corner of the body. It was off the table, around 1 meter.

>It did not get a single scratch. I did test stuff, like image quality, manual focus, recording a while et c. Everything seems fine.

>>4535027
>Test the AF and mech shutter

It does not have an Mech Shutter. The AF works well.

>Was there a lens attached when it fell?

Yes, but it was not hit, but the cap popped out from the force. I detached it and I didn't see anything wrong.

>>4535028
It has a first curtain mech shutter. The AF is working accurately?
>Yes, but it was not hit,
You mean the camera fell flat on its screen? Check the lens for weird behavior that could point to compromised collimation, check sharpness along the whole focus range and zoom range too if a zoom.

>>4535028
I mean the lens would have to get somewhat hit unless the camera laid on the screen side, even if it wasn't the first point of contact with the floor

I couldn't take pictures without the lens. Only record video, the video is blurry without the lens. But I can take pictures with the lens. Is that bad?

Yes, AF and MF works fine.

>You mean the camera fell flat on its screen?

No, the corner, pic related.

This... is scary. It looks like it could be strange... But it also depends on how I hold the camera, the focal length and such. I will go and take lots of pictures...

What if the videos are fine but not the images?

You may luck out and have nothing like that happen. If the sharpness across the image is similar to when it was new then it's fine.

Why are DSLRs and mirrorless worse at exposing correctly over 90s SLRs? An old Nikon understands that snow and sand should be white, while an R5 gives you grey.

>>4535063
>An old Nikon understands that snow and sand should be white
It didn't understand. A normally metered exposure would be underexposed - it's just that the machine or technician interpreting the negative had the intelligence to boost exposure for the print. Negative film has the latitude to make such exposure adjustments possible.

>>4535066
More like these faggots want to preserve highlights so they enable that option and they also don't know how metering modes work.
Ironically, reading Ken Rockwell would help them.
I never had problems with thin negs using SLR metering, it's not just a technician thing.

Looks like Lumix is releasing at least one new camera for 25th year anniversary.
Hoping for S9 update with EVF and mechanical shutter!

In my experience camera bodies can take a decent amount of beating no problem, but the lens and the lens mount are the weak points. If the camera works without error messages why should you expect there to be damage...

Every time a new one of these threads starts I have this urge to ask what camera introduces the most beautiful moire patterns in the images. All I care about is seeing the false colour in boring deadpan images of buildings and suits. To me uninspired photos of mundane things with moire is the height of art and a camera is unusable if it's designed in a manner that t minimises moire.

>>4535069
Nothing poomix releases will ever be worth buying. They live in an alternate universe where last year's nikon is not available on the used market.

In other words, the best way to nail everything is to shoot raw.

People dont like negative film because it's film. They send it to a lab. They like negative film because negatives are essentially raw files and the labs scanning fee pays for 15 min of editing for 36 photos.

The human brain knows what the white balance and shadow exposure should be. No camera's screen is accurate enough for replication work so it's ultimately better AND MORE ACCURATE to do it in post.

>>4535084
Yep. Reality is relatively subjective so fixing up a raw later is actually more accurate than pretending an evf/screen can be used to pre-edit. Literally all cameras are brighter and more contrasty on-body than the photos actually are.

I'm planning on trimming down my camera collection /p/:

Keep:

Pentax: K3, K70, K10D
Sony/Minolta: a68, a390, a100, KM 5D (3x)

Sell:

Pentax: K1ii, K200D (2x, one has 100k shutters the other 5k shutters).

Sony/Minolta: a58, KM 7Ds (1 has FBF and I can't revive it, the other is absolutely MINT and I don't feel worthy of keeping it...like it has the box and all even the grip)

Sell K1ii: I don't like it, I'm going to a Sony a7iv + LA-KE1 and LA-EA5 Pentax and Minolta AF adapters from the proceeds of selling everything. The sensor on the a7iv is better and the autofocus is superior. You can find a a7iv for ~$1500. And honestly that's if I want it....I might just not buy it and focus on shooting what I already have. Probably gonna ask $1200. I've posted about it before, but I never saw a real difference shooting FF.

Sell K200D: Again, don't like it, I like the K10D more. Plus I have a ton of batteries that work well between the K10D and KM 5D/7D. Probably gonna sell for $80-100 and $140

Sell a58: a68 replaced it, basically the same thing with better AF. I really like the a68, its a great overlooked camera. a6000 sensor + SLT DSLR body + A-Mount lenses. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to shoot Minolta. They're cheap too...$200-250. I'll probably sell the a58 for $150.

Sell KM 7Ds: One died of FBF and I can't revive it, which has me scared the 2nd will die too. The prices of 7Ds is retarded high. I can probably ask $250 and get it. Personally I like my 5Ds more....they're more reliable, smaller, and give the same look/visual effect/picture. Anyone interested in the 7D I usually steer them towards a 5D instead. Broken one I think $40 is fair.

We get it. You use a DSLR which is a weird transitional solution between analog and digital photography.
You are not able to do cutting-edge digital photography with that equipment and you can't do analog either.
You want to downplay the importance of accurate captures because it's not something you can do. You want to pretend that guesswork in your RAW editor is just as good. Probably you are too old and lack the neuroplasticity to transition to true digital photography. Sad!

The only correct part of your comment is:
>ISO100 FF = ISO400 MFT
The rest is complete bullshit.
Aperture and focal length are properties of the lens. Doesn't matter what sensor size you have they always mean the same thing.
Resolution is not affected by sensor size but SNR is. This makes your ISO claim mostly true if we assume the same sensor tech was used for both sensors in comparison.
Difference in SNR is something that is inherently dependent on the sensor size and will always differentiate smaller sensors like MFT, APS-C or "Full frame" from less cucked sensor formats.

>Does the sony sales man comes to your house and pouts a gun to your head demanding you buy sony cameras?
Indirectly yes via enshittification making every camera in the market be as bad as a Sony. They undercut everyone who made OVFs so they had to stoop to Sony's level to survive, as OVFs are expensive to make and the sheep were brainwashed into thinking they're an improvement. At first they came up with the SLT, one half of the EVIL category. Then they realized it could be made cheaper and figured a way to do on-sensor AF guessing what the pixels now replaced by phase detection photosites would have and it was good enough for the sheeple.
>Rolls Royce is a shit car because it consumes more fuel than my mini cooper and can t find a parking spot easily

A 50mm f1.8 (FF) and 25mm f0.9 (MFT) have the same FOV and aperture size. The "f0.9" is literally not "faster". Its aperture is the same size. This is a fact and it will make you seethe.
>This makes your ISO claim mostly true if we assume the same sensor tech was used for both sensors in comparison.
That's a thing to bring up... considering full frame cameras usually have the sensor/lens tech unless it's a DSLR and tend to have better resolution and color even at ISOs beyond "equivalence".

Full Frame is the standard sensor size btw. This FACT makes mfturdies seethe like no tomorrow. It's the standard. And micro four thirds is dead for being worse APS-C. Haha!

they don't contain the correct white balance unless it was recorded at the scene and saved in metadata.
they don't contain the perceptual relation between light and dark because sensor response and human eye response is wildly different. A competent photographer adjusts the tone curve and a good camera also saves that in metadata for the raw software to apply.

50mm is 50mm.
f/1.4 is f/1.4.
If you want to match field of view between different sensor sizes then you need to use different focal lengths and when you change your focal length your depth of field at selected aperture setting will change with it. If you try a 50mm and a 28mm at f/1.4 on the same sensor size your depth of field will also be different. This has nothing to do with a sensor size.
50mm f/1.8 on FF and 25mm f/0.9 on MFT are not equal. f/0.9 will let in more light and result in brighter exposure.
The only thing that changes between different sensor sizes is... the sensor size. The larger the sensor area the better its signal to noise ratio because the larger sensor area captures more data overall.
MFT, APS-C, 35mm and medium format are all standard sensor sizes. There is no single best tool for every job in photography but it's true that some tools are more useful than other.

A 50mm f1.8 and a 25mm f0.9 have the same aperture size and therefore the same light gathering
>50mm f/1.8 on FF and 25mm f/0.9 on MFT are not equal. f/0.9 will let in more light and result in brighter exposure.
Wrong.

>>4535154
>f/0.9 will let in more light
Per square millimeter.
>and result in brighter exposure.
True, but being the same total collected light the SNR will be roughly the same. And there's a chance that increased brightness saturates your wells in the highlight area. In that case the FF guy may be able to drop ISO while you'll have to use a faster shutter speed and lose to the FF.

>>4535154
Years in and literally no one has ever agreed with you either

You two have the same arguments over and over again because you are proven wrong over and over again. You need to just take the L.

The real world has already spoken

Micro four thirds is effectively a dead system because it's worse. You can twist words and spam on 4chan all you want. It's not coming back. It's worse. That's it. Lower quality. Not smaller or cheaper enough. Not as good for real life photography as APS-C.
Panasonic is a dead brand because it's worse and their gimmicks are actually useless. You can twist words and spam on 4chan all you want. Canon, Nikon, and Sony are still "photography". Canon's kit zoom outsells the entire lumix brand... because lumix cameras are worse. That's it. Less reliable. Less functional. Not as good for real life photography.

You can write fantasies out, shill your "ethos and philosophy" and tell people how things "OUGHT TO BE!" in such a way your brand/system is suddenly the best justified, and try and force your reality on /p/ all day long but in the real world, panasonic isn't selling, micro four thirds is deader than dead (re-relegated to camcorder sensors where it belongs), and these are non-reversible years long trends grounded in physical reality.
You're not accomplishing anything. You're just killing /p/ so the end you're barreling towards is outsiders accidentally coming here, seeing your stupid takes associated with exactly 0 good photos and cANON denying the moon landing, and everyone who might ever have any influence deciding then and there that whatever you think is the opposite of true and returning to wherever they came from.

>>4535153
its literally the opposite. higher IQ people have better memories.

>>4535177
its way worse than that (for them)

people come to /p/, see the actual photos (ie: /rpt/) all being taken with everything the /gear/ schizos hate, and then they see the /gear/ schizos and anons pointing out how they've repeated themselves again

their very existence is self-refuting
in the blue corner you have 15 /gear/ threads and the panasonic, dslr, and micro four thirds schizos repeating themselves while anons point out that they are retards that repeat themselves
in the red corner you have the photo posters - the vast majority of whom are using canon, sony, nikon, and fuji FF and APS-C mirrorless and singing its praises

/gear/ is humiliating itself by default. like communists. they keep shilling the theory with their "logic and reason" backing it but they're poorfags living in squalor while the rest of the world is having a great time.

That's hyper resolution not reality scanning. It's intrinsically transformative from the get-go.

>>4535086
More like 20MP MFT/44x33=17.8MP FF/APS-C.
You pay a penalty for your sensor being the wrong aspect ratio and having to crop to the intended one afterwards.

>>4535201
equivalence includes megapixels sorry there is no coping your way around this

four mft pixels = one ff pixel
two apsc pixels = one ff pixel

so a 20mp mft camera is 5mp equivalent and a 20mp dx camera is 10mp equivalent. thems the rules.

there's also an uneven crop factor from ff to dx medium format (1.2 = 1)

there are also resolution penalties
soft lens = -10% resolution on average (varies, but natural radial blur)
AA filter = -10% resolution (varies less, some are stronger, some are weaker, some run stronger in one direction than the other, rare good ones are just like using a soft lens no matter what you do)
xtrans = -30% from bayer
bayer = -50% from monochrome/foveon

Enjoy a rare look at what a sensor actually looks like and what the shit on top of it actually does
https://www.maxmax.com/maincamerapage/monochrome-cameras/olpf-study

Funny excerpt for the people ITT:
However, the fact that Nikon has chosen to sell a more expensive version D800e without the OLPF lends credence to our long standing opinion that the OLPF is, in general, an unwanted thing for most camera uses. No medium format back camera has one because those customers wouldn't buy it. We suspect that the use of the OLPF in consumer DLSR's is more of a marketing concern where they don't want someone posting a picture of a test chart online showing how a camera without an OLPF could exhibit moire. In most real life photographs, moire isn't an issue.

>>4535202

You sure did write words and numbers

>>4535204
Sorry chud, but there's no coping your way around this.

MFT looks 4x worse than FF if you don't adjust for equivalent megapixels. It would take a 96mp MFT sensor to equal a mere nikon Z6.

>>4535205
Not how it works

So I got my hands on a Zeiss Ikon Ideal (250/7) 9x12 (which is almost 4"x5") and it's actually in better condition than I bargained for. Unfortunate, right?
I actually intended to more or less take it apart for a different project but now I actually feel like using it properly.

Anyway, I just don't have the sheet/plate holders (type 726/7 I believe) and I have some trouble finding them online. Anyone know of a good diy solution to get some negatives behind the thing? Maybe I can adopt an existing ground glass + sheet holder that is a bit more conventional? What would be a good way to go here?

https://clarkvision.com/articles/exposure-f-ratio-aperture-and-light-collection/
mfturdies denying this is funny as fuck to me because you actually get equal light gathered and a narrower FOV by using a large aperture lens meant for FF
extreme low light, long distance (aka astro) is literally the one thing your shitty baby cameras are good for

of course, you can't be like cANON. you need to also know how to take a photo and use a quality lens instead of a drain pipe and a teleconverter!

otherwise ff has superior tonal range and better options for wider FOVs <135mm, all the good glass is native, and the cameras themselves are engineered and built to a much higher standard

>>4535219
>aperture is literally the only thing that affects total light gathered
For the picture, aperture and sensor size actually, you don't gather what falls outside the sensor.

you didnt even read it

its just actual aperture size in mm
nothing else
not sensor size
not f-number
just how big the actual hole letting light in

magnifying photon shot noise is another thing
and FF having more tonal range between the noise floor and clipping is another thing

light gathering is literally how much light makes it through the hole

this is for real photography not pixel peeping test charts and comparing bokeh ball sizes

>>4535219
>extreme low light, long distance (aka astro) is literally the one thing your shitty baby cameras are good for
More like aka reach. I've been saying this for years, the 90D is a better wildlife camera than any full frame in the market. Especially in low light.

>>4535221
Anon, the light gathering ability of the system isn't that of the lens. It's limited by the light gathering ability of the sensor. Light gathered (lumen) is light intensity (lux) times area (m2).
It's no secret that the absolute aperture is the focal length divided by the relative aperture. That's where equivalence comes from.

>>4535221
Also nice of you to show how other people have replicated my results from the Saturn experiment. Let that be a lesson to the JBER glowie.

>>4535222
It doesn't really work entirely like that and no wonder because you fucking suck at photography.
Scroll down to
>Light Collection from a Cheetah on the Serengeti
It is not enough to have a big aperture, or a good crop factor, or even a nice lens
You must also get closer!

Getting closer to the cheetah, keeping the aperture, FOV, and shutter speed the same, results in a brighter photo with better detail and color

It follows that a larger aperture, wide FOV lens actually offers the opportunity for SKILLED PEOPLE (not you) to gather even more light
More light equals better photo.

Reaching (tighter FOV) your way around your inability to get closer will just result in terrible dim blurry photos
The "reach" is actually just a tight FOV. There is no replacement for closing the distance just like there is no replacement for quality glass or photographic skill.

>>4535223
It's just the aperture. Look at the astro examples again. Sensor size isn't even real. Pixel size sets per-pixel noise and tonal range that's it.

>>4535224
Huskyfag, as far as I know, out-reached you with an A7R III and the point he was making is the same as the one I'm making.

You don't have "reach" and don't know what it's good for. You've never made effective use of it. You magnified a gap between two blurry "things" in an unidentifiable photo that is allegedly saturn. You don't use focal length properly and don't know how to take a good photo, and the way you twist otherwise legitimate information results in bad photography.

The cheetah example shows this clearly. An FF user would also have a dim, shitty image of the distant cheetah. The denser sensor might resolve more detail but it's a snapshit. Getting closer gathers more light and resolves issues with atmospheric haze and heat shimmer.

This is also exactly what /\mbush tried to explain to you many times before giving up.

>>4535216
Thanks for looking at my photo, I guess...

>>4535225
astronomers do this too

the best space photos are taken by getting closer to the stars, even if by a little, reducing/eliminating atmosphere by using elevation and even launching imaging devices into space, and using a really fucking big aperture

>>4535225
>Huskyfag, as far as I know, out-reached you with an A7R III and the point he was making is the same as the one I'm making.
He outreached the 400mm with a 500mm, proving my point altogether. I kept the 800mm (after TC) out just because I wanted to keep things nice and civil and because one should keep their capabilities ambiguous. I even kept Saturn out of the conversation.

>>4535232
He drastically, drastically out-reached you. Not just with gear, but with skill.

>>4535229
Look at the cheetah again
looks like shit

>>4535233
>Look at the cheetah again
>looks like shit
It's the same reach in both pictures, same 700mm on the same camera. Cope.
>He drastically, drastically out-reached you. Not just with gear, but with skill.
kek, top zozzle even. Go back to making your cave glow.

>>4535235
>it's the same reach
But getting closer gathered more light. Even in the same lighting conditions, just getting closer improved both detail resolution and color accuracy - with the exposure triangle left alone.

If you want every camera to be a glorified P1000 with terrible IQ be my guest, that's not even photography, but you can't even get a saturn photo that looks like saturn so unless you want to learn how photography actually works beyond peeping the megapixels and literally counting hairs, lay off the gearfaggotry for the rest of your life and maybe try taking some nice photos of flowers until you understand such things as holding the camera still, getting the subject in focus, and getting the subject in the frame instead of cropping your cropped crop for reach.

its a terrible camera, friend. it weighs as much as 5lbs while having worse autofocus than a 5 year older entry level sony apsc slt camera (sony a58). 36mp raws fucking suck ass to edit too (50-70mb) and you'll have a bunch of misses if you dont deliberately stop to take photos. its party trick is the flippy screen but if you break the pasm dial (try to turn it while its locked) or crack the pentaprism you're screwed and can't repair it unless you live in japan

if it was a d750 it would've been better and honestly im sure any sony is probably gonna be as good in terms of longevity/durability, definitely easier to fix if it breaks

Anybody following the vintage lens market? Prices have come down by a lot in the last couple of years. Good times for enjoyers and collectors, not so much for those who saw lenses as investments. Some lenses that were previously 5k can be had for as little as 1k and maybe even less now. Even some seriously limited high-end stuff is on the market for a long time with no takers.

>>4535284
I do keep a bit of an eye out for antique lenses which are surprisingly very expensive but I keep wondering if it wouldn't be possible to do some diy lens making if they managed to make desirable lenses back in the 19th century.

With enough CAD and machining/3d printing experience you could definitely make a small lens grinding jig.
May be a good idea to start off with attempting a meniscus design and work your way up to more complex designs. If you look at hundred year old lenses they still have a very high level of precision.

>>4535289
This will probably be an emerging market. I saw a post on that website that shall not be named the other day where some Chinese manufacturer had started created specific elements for certain problematic legacy lenses. I do believe it was a Canon 50mm F1.2 LTM where one of the rear elements have a tendency to get some internal hazing.
There are many lenses that are pretty much neglected because of bad design choices such as elements housed in plastics that are welded etc that could get a second chance at life if this catches on, which I hope it does.

It might not register to westerners who barely use them and mostly see the marketing material/youtube shills but OM is very much a cheap shit ewaste brand coasting off the reputation olympus had in japan, and their cameras were known for failing switches/screens.

>>4535374
It has been 9 years since Leica made the last APS-C L-mount camera. Out of all the dead systems that is one of the stranger ones because if any of the other manufacturers had picked up the ball they would have enabled the use of Leica glass which I am sure would be a factor in sales.. first party high quality glass for more reasonable prices. As it is now they are pretty much delegated to use in crop mode on full frame cameras.

Relax, dude. L-mount only started getting popular in the last few years due to Lumix. The lenses are coming.
And unlike E-mount, L-mount was actually designed for full frame, not a re-purposed APS-C mount; in E-mount's case the tight geometry causes distortions.

>>4535381
Distortions are caused by thick sensor stacks and close flange distances, and L mount checks the boxes. Even older leica SL cameras can't use M mount properly.

Nikon Z mount is the ONLY mount that can properly adapt all vintage glass.

L mount is exactly as garbage as sony, if not even more garbage because it doesn't even have a pancake lens

Not all of them have the special microlenses... and even the newest SL kind of sucks

The best way to use M mount, besides an M camera, is Z mount. Nikon is simply that good.

Panasonics inaccurate slow af AF might work in video because it looks more like what real videographers use (manual focus) but photos need fast snappy af AF that isnt afraid to hunt and pulse a little to keep on a moving subject

They overcharge for MFT, either because they have to or because they like ripping people off, so what makes you think they wouldn't do the same with a larger sensored body? Do you think they'd just charge the same and destroy their MFT market? Also they created the format and built themselves on the premise that it's all you need, they've had over 20 years to go back on that so they never will.

>>4535403
No anon, I consider nonwhites to be subhumans so them having sex with dogs is mere interspecies sex, not bestiality.

>>4535395
if you watched the video you would see that the AF has settings for speed and sensitivity. Defaults are more tuned for video, but snappy autofocus is possible too. Bad AF on a modern Lumix is a skill issue.

>>4535406
Panasonic AF is inaccurate in stills. Its just a fact. The S1RII dropped with a 30% hit rate in stills with AF-C. Their algorithm is better suited for a 5fps camera like the snoy a7iv.

Any particular feature you want?
Personally I would not "upgrade" to any camera that does not have live view overexposure overlays. Nikon as yet only has indication during playback and does not allow zebras in still photo mode.

>>4535424
mostly the improved AF. I hear it's a big step up.

>>4535424
Competent photographers simply dont need this, which is why it's only on cameras for incompetent non-photographers such as sony, panasonic, and fujifilm bodies.

Every camera has review blinkies. It's just the incompetent brands that have not figured out preview blinkies.

>>4535459
Poor analogy since training wheels become an impediment while zebras/blinkies don't, and can be turned off anyways.

A better analogy for overexposure warning is altitude warning in an aircraft. Yeah, good pilots don't rely on it, but when it's needed, it's very good to have, which is why every aircraft has it.

>>4535505
Blinkies are a sony thing for sony type people

Someday you might take your camera away from the funko-pop diorama to photograph something outside. Outside, there is something called the sun. It is very bright! Sometimes, the sun is in the frame. Often it will have a layer of clouds in front. Obviously, the sun is going to be clipped - but how much of the clouds are going to be clipped? Hard to say. You can take a test shot and then check blinkies, but on a good camera you will have overexposure indication in live view to show you the extent of clipping so you can one-shot the ideal exposure.

>>4535524
>wat, my Z6III has zebras
only for video mode, that's why smart people came up with a workaround using a picture control that displays clipping in live view like in pic-related. It's not showing true RAW clipping and the indication will be saved in the JPEG so it's pretty limited.

Better tools don't last longer, they aren't more effective, they aren't more ergonomic, they aren't more durable...

The Fuji Chad is a blinky enjoyer, the Olympus guy, the Snoy psycho who goes on about RAW accurate bllinkies. Only sour grapes DSLR boomers deny the utility of live view blinkies/zebras.

Skillfully using an obsolete tool doesn't make you better at the job, it probably makes you worse which is why the tool became obsolete.

Those are arguably worse than MILC when it comes to EVIL cameras, they pretend to be a reflex. At least the Pellix was an actual reflex even if it paved the way for SLT.

You can break a lot more than a camera dial with that attitude. I've seen people break some heavy duty machinery meant to take abuse.

>because i want my ancient lenses on the nicer body with better autofocus and dynamic range
Why not get an a900 or a850? The only Sony full frame cameras you can really trust.

>>4535562
Better tools make skill and experience less necessary.
The main problem is old timers whose only source of pride is in using the obsolete tools well, it hurts their ego that people can get as good or better results without investing the same effort.
In this way DSLR holdouts are no different than the film holdouts who came before them.

>>4535564
results matter, how it was achieved does not matter.

Same thing when exposure meters were integrated into cameras - the pre-boomers called it a crutch and said skilled photographers don't need it. According to pre-boomers, if you use an exposure meter, you are a bad photographer.

>>4535615
You're just making shit up now, the zone system involves using a meter. If you weren't good enough to use a meter, you coped with sunny 16 and looney 11, simple as.
Keep digging your grave deeper.

over years i accumulated a stupid amount of film cameras and it feels decadent, I think I need to get rid of some of my gear and systems:
>Leica M6 + Voigtlander 28, 35, 50
>Hasselblad 501cm + 80, 50
>Nikon N80 and F5 + 35 f/2D, 60 f/2.8 D, 85mm 1.8 G
>Fujifilm GA645Zi (just picked this up)
Since the Nikons are so much easier to use, basically point+shoot, I mostly don't use the Leica anymore. My hitrate on the Nikons seems worse, though. Bad developers scratched and massacred my roll to hell in the attached. I always go out with 1 lens to shoot random stuff i see + pictures of my friends at parties at night, always in portrait. Should I get rid of any of it.

Thanks for reading my blog

It looks like mirrorless and EVF's are the unavoidable future, eh? It's too bad that you couldn't convince anyone to see things your way – maybe you're not trying hard enough?

>>4535631
That's the system for ya. Pixii and Pentax offered the world something it was not yet prepared for: a forever camera that you can upgrade. Like Marty McFly bringing rock to a pre-rock world.

>>4535626
Voigtlander lenses adapt very well in newer mirrorless cameras with thin sensor stacks so i wouldn't get rid of them
Nikon lenses are good optics too, the Hassy and the 645 are good resale value but you won't get that kind of image quality unless you shoot big MPs/slide film and very fast lenses.
If you are going film only then perhaps bite the bullet and sell the Leica+Voigts for other Nik lenses and/or pick better gear for either the 645 or Hassy

>>4535632
Pixii was simply too expensive for what it wanted to do, same with the Zeiss compact camera that picked a massive cannon as its fixed lens instead of a small one

Sigma fp2 is coming.
fp is the smallest full frame MILC to date.
fp2 supposedly is a little bigger, probably S9 size.
If it does not have a mechanical shutter I would hope that they got readout speed fast enough for action photos.
