THIS. I know it's pretty dumb having a super modern digital camera and using film, which doesn't take advantage of the modernities of digital, but I think using the film lenses on it is a great compromise for me
Film + digital
Yeah, film lenses on modern cameras just give a nice effect for when you don't need perfect shots
Shooting film now is still fun though, if I get a mf one I'll be carrying that and a digital ff around
One day, I will bebrave enough to try the fuckng 645
Damn thing is in mint condition
Go on and try it now :D
I don't need super sharpness.
You should! 645 seems like a super fun format
I love how old film lenses look
I scared
I wish there were more fast old mf lenses is all
For the huge image circles they're basically non-existent
Gfx is easier since it's not that much bigger than ff
Ahhh. the projector lenses the guy I bought the sonnar 180 from....ahhhhhhh
I wish I bought some
Ehh. I think you'll be fine :D
Oh, he had projector lenses?? I must've missed them damn
GFX is way easy
Lots of them.
But I think he's a bit overpriced on them
BUT
I saw the sonnar and was tempted but didn't see the rest lol
he had cool ones with m39 mounts!
Oh woah that's a weird one
For Leica users
225 actually ain't bad
Adapting your own projector lenses is a fun project tho for like $150
No, it isn't. But I had spent too much money at that point already
yeah. And even buying a few helocoid adaptors, it's still relavtively cheap buyin gthe project lenses and using them. I think they are beutiful to use
shit I can't spell
I bought a bunch of 120 film but now I have no 120 cam so I'm in too deep
Oh no!
Gonna buy one this week lol
You wanna borrow the Mamiya?
Yeah, and you can epoxy the adapter on and works perfectly
That's what mine is
Nah, I'm gonna splash out and get the Pentax one way or another lol
facebook marketplace here we go again
It's been a good thing I've been looking at FB for a hwile now so knowing the prices at the market today, I knew they were good deals
Yeah, the deals today were so much better than I expected
I had a staring competition with the Sonnar 180 guy. Priced at $750 right? He brought it down to $600. Then I was still hesitating then he said $550. then I said, look, just go to $500. Then we stared at each other for a while.
Like half price of market value for the good stuff
I won
yup
He didn't want to
but I stared at him with big puppy and stern eyes
My husband felt bad for him
Now I have to figure out what adapters I have to get for the other lenses. I forgot what they are.
Hahaha and he caved
The others will be interesting on the xt5
But the sonnars are def the prize
Looking at adapters now. I'm way too excited. I just can't wait to try them.
Better post results!
You mean Zeiss Jena - Sonnar 180/2.8
?
Those are like 200$ in perfect shape here
Thta's nice, dear. But we are not there.
My country has fucked camera market ngl
Half of stuff cheap, half expensive asf
i have bought a pentax 6x7 online this time
without lens but i have 3 lenses to use for now anyways
and dont need ultra fast stuff coz no portraits for a while
child
Real
yes
Imma print that to use as wallpaper for the bathroom
that means you have too look at it too
every single out of focus pixel
We are all going to look at that bin chicken all day while we poo
I can't get used to this blue profile colour
buy a 2 bathroom house and wallpaper just augies with it
good for you im proud of my amazing artwork :)
Buy me one, pretty please?
once again I wish i was bezos rich so I could just helicopter in a portapotty with that photo as wallpaper already
Pocket change for Reqy
just drop it next to augies window
Oho......what an idea......
Goddamit reqy you've given her ideas
could duct tape a garden house to the roof and add a shower

oh let me find them
oh god

incoming cow
Rich people would be so much more liked if they just did random shit with the money instead of sitting in it
Riv wher
seriously, how hard would it be to be like "here's 50k get this portapotty wallpapered and set it outside" and "here's the other 50k helicopter this shit right here"
heres a water chicken

holy fuck
lol
I wake up to this shit
perfect

you want an underexposed out of focus duck?
Even the panda is in shock
oh olive, i was hanging out wiht this girl who was 5'10 today
Yep, and that money wouldn't even register for them
The ultra sharpening is genius.
This duck is not amused.

the duck is not even in focus either
tbf it was watching genshin cosplayers run around like losers
then you got the softcore rich doing shit like "it's dec 23'rd here's the im fucking tech n9ne credit card im buying every christmas present at toys r us today for anyone who checks out with it"
Those other photographers there.....were like eyeing your gear.
I'm surprised they didn't mug you
nah my friend rocked up with a ronin gimbal and started shooting video with his xt4
and his friend had the fucken big ass cannon 85mm
that shit looks like an actual cannon
Did you take photos or just spooked ducks in the pond?
i did im going through them now
but i also went around trying to communicate to the ducks with dave
Yes folks, we have much communication in this house. (not)
nah it was a cosplay shoot wasnt a con
went all the way to blacktown to some chinese gardens \
Cosplay shoots sound fun in the right place
some clown with an xt1 - heyyyy
my fren - i have a BF
xt1 clown - i bet i take better photos than your BF
me, with 35 1.2 and 61mp in one hand and temporary GF in the other - 
Oh right I remember this story 
yeah they are just as long as there arent 5 million tourists haha
ive done some cosplay shoots at chinese gardens but its always just sooooo packed
last time i went there there were 3 weddings happening all at the same time
yeah thats the best time
This was at a different one, in blacktown of all places.
Blacktown?
lots of ppl go there after cons since its just accross from the ICC
but the blacktown ones r good
its in a public space too so no restrictions on weapons
heres another duck

i know this one creepy guy that goes to cons and takes photos with 2 telephotos on 2 cameras like... why....
its a con...... how stinky are you that you need an excuse to back up 50m away from other people 
I'll go with you next time and accidentally bump into him. HARD. against a wall.

I don't portraits but why do you need a tele for that at a con 
exactlyyy
There's a lot of weirdos pedos that go to cons.
I'd probably bring my tele but just never use it 
i dont want to actually get near people
the bokeh isnt even worth it for that
And 70-200 best lens
fauxgie control your spawn bokeh always worth
Who doesn't want an excuse to use a 70-200
not at a con lmao
I want a 70-200
esp the ones here
Don't bring your logic into this, any excuse to use that lens
unless I somehow magically get 7ft german crusader armor 
so you can give it charlie? why would you need 7ft armor
70-200 is okay but anything bigger than that (which is what im talking ab) is like overkill
is zoom is not okay
this dude brings like 400mm

Alright that's enough out of you, out of Aussie lounge right now
I'd bring a 16-28 
Should just follow him around, take his photos everytie he takes photos and freak him out.
that means getting close to him and honestly id prefer not lol
you just bought how many lenses again?
but Mom.......
Didn't you buy like 5 lenses 
7 but who's counting
What
A child with adult money scares me
Which ones?
I don't even know
the ones that looked cool
They are all old film lenses.
How much did you spend 
$1K? Could have been worse
Should I?
I was only there for 2 hours
I mean, its insane lens imo
Spending 1k in 2 hours
Fair

i spent 8k in about 12 minutes once
They cost more here
They cost like $80 here
That's hypocritical of me to say considering I spent that much on my trip as well 
On one thing or multiple things
I would pay like 140$ for it if i had to for sure
My dad wrote a check for $20k for a car
one thing
ok thats fine
i put it on a card 
Like, way more worth it than 1.8 artisans etc for same price
Bcs that lens is truly special tbh
recently purchased the Helios 44-2 58mm f2 lens and decided to compare it to my Sigma 24-70.
I shot everything wide open to get the most bokeh and did minimal color correction in post.
Footage was also graded using the Mark Bone Kodak High Con & Sat LUT set to 100 intensity.
***To make the Helios lens work on my Sony I had to purchase an ada...
Helios 44 overrated
It makes everything look cinematic i swear
Yes, we all know about the helios lens
✨ "cinematic" ✨
I mean, 85 1.5 vs 58 1.8
But its many times the price
ima shit on that rq because that's the same meaning to me as iphones being classified as professional
what does it mean
Me with a 70-200 F4 L
I love how this just turned into a better lounge 
Real
Fr
there's so many ways to do "cinematic" that describing a look that way kinda is meaningless
I treat cinematic as a movie in a picture
I swear half of people here typing aint even Australian
But its more active
So why not

like if a photo looks like it was just taken out a frame of a movie thats cinematic to me

anyway
Ban all the non Aussie/staff
We already have 2 aussie staff 
Nooo :c
Check this shit out. I didn't even edit this photo (yet) and I won't cause it's not a great photo. But the pixel peeping.......ahhhhhhhhh.
Like I can't believe the gfx can still get that much detail cropping to those people at the back.
thats under the darling harbout footbright, right?
Rookie numbers

the people that buy new cars are just laughing at us amateurs
"lol i just spent 85,000 dollars on this new porsche in fifteen minutes*"
"*"because they might have to finance it or whatever
My dad spent 500k on a new house in 15 mins
Lel
I just bought sweatshirts, hoodies and other shit
Westfield drags you in with all the brands

My biggest expense was the parking and toll roads
And the subway 
i'm not gunna comment on the house thing
Should've eaten in the asian place 
My top3 biggest expenses were: Canon R, dji rsc2 pro, s20 fe 5g (8gb ram)
I wanna meet yall asf, but the closest time i see it happening is like 4 years

3 if lucky technically

My Europe trip is probably in 2 years
Can't be this year cause big trip this year is nepal
big trip next year is japan
big trip year after is probably europe
I have plans to visit Poland and Iceland
The sigma one is unoriginal btw
Sigma ripoff claiming its sigma but it aint from china bought 3 for 0.5$
Iceland is certainly on my travel list, just so far and expensive lol
So whether or not I actually ever make it there, who knows
yeah it's pretty pricey
Pain is just how many flights you gotta take from here
It's probably smth like Alice>Adelaide>Sydney>Iceland
I know with Japan & Nepal it's also gonna be like that
Yeah even worse from Alice Springs
Iirc the shorter routes to Iceland from Sydney are around 30 hours and $3k+ return
Can get cheaper, but then it adds a lot of time onto an already long trip
Yeah it's painful
Trip to Japan is thankfully a little easier with how close it is
Fucking winter, I'm telling ya
I've spent the whole day in bed because I can barely move
I had to work through mine cause everyone else was sick
I could barely walk home through ends of shifts
So I feel you.
Fauxgie when did you become a chat mod
All Australians should be mods

Agreed
Inb4 you actually become a bird photographer tho
Bet
doins my fellow aussies

Icarus pose in good light


certified you look goofy unless you're cbum pose

Cbum is another level
He should probably win again this year
Same couple from the video?
Yeah
only guy I see beating Cbum is Ramon
I think Cbum has better legs, shoulders and slightly better chest genetics
Ramon seems to have a sleaker build in comparison to cbum
ramons forearms though
cbums abs are more symmetrical aswell
maybe it's just the angle here
but cbums triceps stands out much better
and just the sheer difference in legs
vasculinity wise as well
yeah true
Yo they look great
That is the most cursed background I've ever seen for mono tho
The crop looks like a picture taken with my bridge 💀
I don't belong here
Neither do Reqy or Kron but they're here as well
from the chinese gardens 
welcome to upside down land 
Chinese gardens are kinda cool
except the lizards
What's wrong with lizards
idk
I love seeing them out in bush
when i took fauxgie to the chinese gardens for the first time they kept scaring her
the fuck are they called again?
They're considered big?
like

hold on ducks incoming
NO
Urban wildlife, let’s go! I think I just saw a rat in the alley.

no cause she was with me

Running inside joke 

omg a fried duck
Show me the lizards, child.
those actually are pretty good
this sounds like a movie line 
okay mommy
The one good portrait I've ever shot was of Fauxgie 
See a lot of these during the warmer months, what's not to like
except for the damn filter over the gfx 
dm me it 
oh those are nice
but like the huge fkin ones
like
I don't like those 
i cant find the lizards this is tragic
Another Augie lol
The real augie

Too much work

We should take inspiration from that
Looks like a car outside an airplane window
She jut basically turned up all the sliders
id rather never touch the gfx again
You won't now that fauxgies seen that 
What is funny is that it's still kinda better than a lot of other car photos I've seen
oh wow
At least it's in focus
It looks better than the average film sim

Neither do i
i'll remember to use this line.
need to b lower
in the ground
for 6 feet under for sending that pic
✝️
That would include me 6 feet under, too, cause she is completely passed out next to me.
knocked her out
So she has this tendency on sitting right next to me on this arm chair and we barely fit but here we are.
hello police id like to report and abuse

Man, I can't believe how quickly she went out
WHAT did u DO
she drank water and bam! asleep.
aw sleepy baby
"Water"
When they're little and tell them to go to sleep, usually they would say, "I'm not tired." And then 2 minues later, out.
She still does it.
Aha
@fleet edge :)
What was in the water
have u ever used the nose trick Fauxgie?

it works like a charm lolol
nose trick?
Youknow. "water."

In #🏭・human-made ? We need to do it, if we can, at the same time

Got mine ready whenever

I was just going to post a picture of gloves that aren't on in gloves off
ah shit, good idea
Esp we don't have Kaido anymore to crop our photos in galleries
Ill do it aswell, but tbh shit gets downvoted for no good reason
IT's all about the amount of downvotes we get. This is the goal :D
You can try :D

LMAO shade thrown from beau
I fuckign hate smoke alarms.
I wish I had my own house so I can have an outdoor kitchen.

Rubber band a plastic bag over the smoke alarm
Typically when my smoke alarm goes off, my parents give me a towel and tell me to wave it a bunch
Genius
dont give them ideas
takes note for when husband talks too much...
LMAO FAUXGIE
Holy shit lol
It's such an asian thing having an outdoor kitchen

Full or part?

Are you one?
Yes!
High five!
My dad is from Navotas and my mother from Baguio
Wait, even more around the general area?
We really are taking over PL
totally
I do need to head down that way again eventually for that coastal photography
Navotas would be north of Manila and west of Quezon, right?
uhhhhh........
you're making me think north and south and left and right
I suck at that
Let’s just say it close to each other
I’m from the Ilocos region.
See, if you ask me where to find Ilocos, I would be...uhhhh........
I live in Belrose
you were pretty close
Very north tip of the country.
Oh shit, you're actually close
Ohhhhhhhhhh!! Yeah yeah
