[faint flint]

Right now I use a 800D

[glad juniper]

but i'll look

[faint flint]

https://tenor.com/view/spj-slota-gigachad-gif-26369460

[glad juniper]

do you have lenses already?

[mighty dew]

Do you want a body and a new lenses or just a new body?

[faint flint]

body

and then buy a lens later

i have like 12k saved up

mainly for flight school tho

lol

[glad juniper]

if your only sparing 1100aud get an T8i/850D

[faint flint]

850D

sounds good

[glad juniper]

maybe a 7D mk ii

actually if you were willing to buy used i'd recomend an 80D

a "excelent" copy from keh is only 550 usd

[mighty dew]

@glad juniper 100-400 or 50-500? Both are priced the same

[ionic orbit]

I prefer 100-400

[glad juniper]

i'd agree

the "super" zooms are pretty soft at either end

although i wouldn't get the old version of the 100-400

the foot would be the only benifit over the new one

(@mighty dew )

[mighty dew]

Yea I looked more into the 50-500 and decided not to even think about it. The CA on it is fun lol but shit how do u know if its the new 100-400?

[glad juniper]

do you have a better photo?

[mighty dew]

I can link it for you. But let's just say kenmore isn't the best online

[glad juniper]

thats fine

i think it might be the new one but at that price i'd be worried somethings wrong with it

[mighty dew]

https://kenmorecamera.com/used-sigma-100-400mm-f5-6-3-dg-dn-os-nikon-f/

[glad juniper]

yeah thats really cheap

[mighty dew]

Too cheap for the new 2020 one?

[glad juniper]

almost

bruh even ebay doesn't go that cheap lmao

[mighty dew]

Hmmm

[glad juniper]

it has arrived

and its so unreasonably small lmao

[random prism]

How bad is ugly with Keh?

It's the lens I need

[glad juniper]

its going to look like shit lol

[random prism]

Maybe not then

Excellent says Sticky

💀

Bargain has caps and hood

And case

I might pick that one up

[glad juniper]

if your looking in the accessories thats what you can get for it

you'll just get caps with the lens

no case no hood no filters

[random prism]

Ooh I see

[glad juniper]

oh i'm looking at the wrong lens

[random prism]

So is the sticky surface optional

[glad juniper]

no thats just the rubber coating on the lens desolving lol

[random prism]

Oh

Not good

Bruh people abuse their gear

[glad juniper]

well would you rather buy used gear that sat on a shelf all its life?

[random prism]

Lol

At this point I'll take what I can get

Maybe not an ugly

[glad juniper]

i've had issues with KEH in the past, they don't like to say if anything is wrong with the actual lens or not

[random prism]

Ah I see

[glad juniper]

mpb is better at that

[random prism]

I'll look at them

[glad juniper]

https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/canon-ef-75-300mm-f-4-5-6-is-usm/sku-1801644

here's the same lens

[random prism]

Okay thanks

[glad juniper]

they even tell you what you'll get lol

[random prism]

Lol

That's good

[glad juniper]

and if you wanted the non IS version they've got a ton of those

[random prism]

What is IS?

[glad juniper]

https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/canon-ef-75-300mm-f-4-5-6-iii-usm/sku-1758277

[random prism]

Image stabilization?

[glad juniper]

yeah

[random prism]

Cool

Okay

[glad juniper]

not needed but it "helps" apparently

[random prism]

🤷‍♂️

[glad juniper]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/354393437851?

don't forget about ebay

[random prism]

I haven't had a lot fun with ebay lately

Well it's not an auction so might go better

[glad juniper]

yeah

i'd try and avoid japanese sellers lol

good quality but their standards are way all over the place

[random prism]

Ah good to know

[glad juniper]

just look to make sure there's no fog/fungus/scratches/seperation on the lens

it should be in the discription

[random prism]

Okay

[glad juniper]

light scratches are usually fine

just only on the front elemen t

[random prism]

Yeah lens I have now has them

[glad juniper]

most places are pretty good about mentioning shit like that

[random prism]

Yeah

If not you can usually tell in the pics

[glad juniper]

Just picked up another lens on impulse lmao

But hey it was only 10 bucks so

[floral stone]

How

[glad juniper]

Cause

Sorry, it was 10.90

I forgot about tax

I mean the lens is only probably worth 20 bucks anyways lol

At least according to google

[mighty dew]

Have u gotten some shots already?

[glad juniper]

no not yet lol, i just got home

i can tell you it mounts correctly tho

[mighty dew]

New body + old lenses

[ionic orbit]

Oldie but goodie

[glad juniper]

Here's hoping, yeah

[glad juniper]

@mighty dew guess who just got an absolute steal

[mighty dew]

Brooo 😭😭😭😭

The steal is real

[glad juniper]

same camera and lens in worse condition

[mighty dew]

Imagine if its working conditions just that the guy didn't know how to use it cause he got it from someone for free

[glad juniper]

oh i'm betting it works just fine

[mighty dew]

It looks super clean

Man this a massive W

[glad juniper]

i'm feelin pretty good rn lmao

and even if the lens has "smudges", i've got more or less the exact same lens already

worse comes to worse i use my own glass lmao

[mighty dew]

Aye lets be honest lol

Those old lenses might have dust and shit but they still produce great pics lol

(Or at least for me)

[glad juniper]

i can confirm that lens is sharp lol

[mighty dew]

When is it arriving

[glad juniper]

some time next week

so we'll see lol

[mighty dew]

[glad juniper]

yeah ikr

the idea was to buy a cheap edc film camera that i can take to campus with me and not have to worry about it lo

but as it turns out my cheap camera just so happened to be significantly undervalued

[mighty dew]

There's always a problem

[glad juniper]

the worst problem it has is the meter is dead

but i've got an external meter so

[mighty dew]

Rip

[glad juniper]

i don't need to worry about it

[mighty dew]

Oh good lol

[glad juniper]

*could have

if the lens is dead thats fine i've got another

if the meter is dead thats fine i've got an external one

its a win win

[mighty dew]

Got solutions to problems that might not even exist lol

[glad juniper]

exactly

and for a grand total of 35 plus shipping

[mighty dew]

Aint bad at all

[glad juniper]

not at all

[elder dome]

I need to buy a good camera in the next 5 days what are some cheap options that are decent?

preferably something I could pick up irl

[quasi summit]

D3200

[ionic orbit]

D5500

Canon eos 100d

[random prism]

Canon 1300D or T6 rebel

They are the same exact thing

Just different names cuz America has to be different

It's not too expensive used

[mighty dew]

Nikon or Canon? I suggest Nikon

[glad juniper]

just picked up a lens for the new camera

[mighty dew]

Not bad at all

Maus on a buying streak

[glad juniper]

A bit

Imma go buy film this weekend too

[glad juniper]

Muh shits here

The camera has some prism rot but other than that

Shit works just fine

No clue if the meter works or not, the batteries I have on hand are too small

I'll need to go run down to home depot and pick up some washers for them

[mighty dew]

Bruh

[glad juniper]

All things considered thats all that's wrong with it

[glad juniper]

All out of free money officially

[mighty dew]

[glad juniper]

The gangs all here

[mighty dew]

Damnnn dude thats sick asf

[glad juniper]

thats all i got lol

[mighty dew]

@glad juniper my man, I need ur opinion as well some help

[glad juniper]

What's up

[mighty dew]

U think its worth it to buy an adapter for some vintage lenses

Screw on lenses

[glad juniper]

Depends on how much the adapter is lol

[mighty dew]

Let's see

[glad juniper]

And I'm assuming the lenses are/were free

[mighty dew]

Found them in the garage lol

Two of them are 105mm and one is 55mm

[glad juniper]

Pics?

[mighty dew]

Let me know if u want more

[glad juniper]

The 105 on the bottom

Deadass I'd buy it from you lol

It appears to be Pentax K

Which I've got a film body in

[mighty dew]

Ight come to Washington

[glad juniper]

I'd be more than happy to

Saves me shipping lol

[mighty dew]

Let me when u come back

[glad juniper]

Also the one on the top already looks like it's been adapted

That's a nikon end cap

[mighty dew]

Yea

[glad juniper]

So is it?

[mighty dew]

Its a nikon cap but its a screw on cap

[glad juniper]

Bruh could you take any worse photos lmao

I stg

[mighty dew]

Bruhhh note 9 sucks

This one is mint but its gonna need a different adapter

[glad juniper]

Wait which one was that

[mighty dew]

A different one then the 3 i sent first

[glad juniper]

Ah

[mighty dew]

55mm

The other 105mm

[glad juniper]

Oh that's not in pk wtf

[glad juniper]

Oh I'm looking at the actual pk one ok

Yeah I'd still buy it off you lol

[mighty dew]

No problem at all

But what the hell would the adapter be called

A screw on??

[glad juniper]

M42 to F

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1238903-REG/fotodiox_m42_nk_p_fl_m42_universal_screw_mount.html/?ap=y&gclid=CjwKCAiA3pugBhAwEiwAWFzwdbp0HT93WPXGyv6s9UUykiqhRBLvRFBIre_Xu9lf2vUFGqU06_5SLBoCZgQQAvD_BwE&lsft=BI%3A514&smp=y&smpm=ba_f2_lar

The mount is m42

[mighty dew]

M42

What the fuck lol

But thanks dude, gonna buy da adapter

[mighty dew]

U got any idea what adapter this will need?

[glad juniper]

Yeah thats old Minolta

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1349602-REG/vello_la_nf_md_minolta_md_lens_mount.html

Md or Mc

Same mount, just different ages

[mighty dew]

Appreciated my dude

[glad juniper]

They do have correction glass in the adapter, so it might not be as sharp as it would on film, but thats part of the process

Same lens, same adapter

The first is wide open, the 2nd is stopped down to /4 I think

Well not same lens

(Hexanon 50mm/1.4)

But both photos are on the same lens

[mighty dew]

Same camera?

[mighty dew]

Don't really care about the sharpness, its gonna be fun playing with these lens on the d800 lol

[glad juniper]

Yeah

Same camera

D7500

[mighty dew]

Noice

Dog pic be lookn fire tho

[glad juniper]

Here's the comparison chart

The file name is the f/

I need to do another depth shoot for some of my new glass

[mighty dew]

Some big differences

[glad juniper]

Yeah

Wonderfully sharp at 4 tho

Especially in daylight

Great portrait lens

Just a touch short imo

[mighty dew]

Can't wait for the adapter to come

[glad juniper]

Lol nice

[mighty dew]

W

Imma use it for spotting

[glad juniper]

The slight softness does wonderful to skin lol

Also the bokeh is wonderful

Great lens all told

I do need some intermediate between my 50 and 135

Well, 60 and 135

I need to keep my eyes out for an 85 or some sort of equivalent

Ideally I'd get the 85mm f/2 ais

But those are fairly hard to find for a reasonable price

[mighty dew]

Rip

But it'll be worth it

Man I gotta clean these old lenses, they are absolutely dirty

Well time to bring the soap

[glad juniper]

Use isopropyl instead

Disinfect and clean

Not on the glass, but body for sure

As for the glass, a little bit of water and a microfiber cloth

[mighty dew]

I used gas

[glad juniper]

Well if you did that be sure to at least burn off the excess

[mighty dew]

Maximum cleanness

[glad juniper]

Yep

[mighty dew]

Adapter came. And these old lens are much shaprer and better than I thought they would be

[glad juniper]

That's how old glass works lmao

Why do you think I buy it

My 135 was a 5th of the price of the one I was going to buy lol

[glad juniper]

@quasi summit

1. What gear do you currently use (if any)
2. In what ways is it holding you back
3. What's your budget
4. What do you want to shoot
5. If you're asking about a particular cam, why this one specifically

don't worry about answering 5

(in relation to this #aviation message)

[lucid aurora]

any way to get rid of dust spots?

[glad juniper]

clone tool

or get your camera cleaned

[lucid aurora]

thinking of getting it cleaned

[glad juniper]

that'd be the best long term lol

[lucid aurora]

yep. any ways?

[glad juniper]

professionally

[mighty dew]

Bruh @glad juniper I literally just found a md to f mount adapter just as the adapter that I bought came 😭😭

[glad juniper]

What did I say

What did I say nav

What did I say

anyways I'll buy that adapter off you too lmao

[mighty dew]

I KNOW BUT SOMEONE TURNED IT SO TIGHT INTO THE LENS CAP THAT IT NEVER SEEMED LIKE IT WAS THERE

Like wtf

[mighty dew]

No, imma keep the adapter. I might get more old lens

[glad juniper]

Also didn't your dad have a D200 that is, in fact, nikon F?

And that, without a Minolta body, those lenses would be useless?

Ergo they were already adapted

Ergo your a fucking idiot

[mighty dew]

Bruhhh 😭😭

[glad juniper]

I rest my case

[mighty dew]

I ain't selling u the lenses anymore

U broke me heart

[glad juniper]

Not my fault your noodle arms couldn't get the back cap off

Get a bigger lens and curl that for a few months

[mighty dew]

Nah thats fucked up

These noodle arms are stronger than u think buddy

[glad juniper]

In all seriousness tho, is there a difference between the adapters?

[mighty dew]

Not at all

[glad juniper]

Really?

[mighty dew]

Both the same, just one is thicker than the other

[glad juniper]

I would have figured the different flange difference would change the sharpness

Or at least the focal distance

[mighty dew]

Nah the one that I just found doesn't have any glass

And the one that I ordered also didn't

[mighty dew]

Btw i didn't buy this. Just got one from Amazon that has no glass in it

[glad juniper]

Nice

[mighty dew]

So funny how these old lenses have a lower F then my 3 new lenses lol

[glad juniper]

Old lenses were just built different lol

[mighty dew]

Facts lol

[ionic orbit]

Visit the service center

[mighty dew]

Something called soap and water

[ionic orbit]

Bro is executing the camera

@glad juniper

[mighty dew]

Whats da problem

[ionic orbit]

Thats nav washing his lenses

[mighty dew]

I do all the time, the auto focus stopped but other than that they work pretty good

[floral stone]

💀💀💀

[random prism]

💀💀💀

[glad juniper]

Bruh ping me next time good lord lmao

[glad juniper]

Let me get out of class and I'll help you look

[glad juniper]

I found my next camera

[random prism]

Oo

Why it look like a bike seat tho

💀

[glad juniper]

Cause

[random prism]

Cool tho

[glad juniper]

Yeah it is

It shoot both full and half frame

Plus it's konica and I've got a lowkey collection going

[random prism]

Lol

✨me with 0 anything ✨

[mighty dew]

W

[weak pilot]

i need a camera that is ok quality and under $300 <@&999464167864008795>

[ionic orbit]

Nikon

[glad juniper]

uhh body or body and lens?

[weak pilot]

body and lens i think

[mighty dew]

Its gonna be really hard to get a body and lens for 300

But its doable

[glad juniper]

definitely doable

it'll just be really old

[weak pilot]

whats the cheapest one i can get since 2015

[glad juniper]

since?

uh

[weak pilot]

made since 2015

maybe 2010

[glad juniper]

your going to have to settle for 2010 if you want something under 300

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285184360988?

that might be the best bang for your buck

you've got 21hrs left so if you want it grab it

[mighty dew]

D5100, the same camera I have

[analog comet]

any recommendations for a starter landscape photography kit, asking for a friend but my advice not so good

[glad juniper]

Whats the budget

[wind olive]

I need a camera which intakes clear shots and focused good and magnification

[glad juniper]

That's a start

[wind olive]

300

[glad juniper]

300 what

Onions? Pesos? Bottle caps? Kidneys? Dollars?

[wind olive]

Dollars sorry in hospital

[random prism]

Ah

Also get well soon

300 pesos

[random prism]

Bro can use a camcorder and take 8k pics with the plane at 30k feet then

[glad juniper]

for 3 hunge you won't be finding all that much tbh

i'll see what i can dig up on ebay tho

i guess

you definitely won't be doing contrail spotting and the sigma 70-300 is kinda shit but you'd be set for lenses for a while

[random prism]

Nav hates that lens

[glad juniper]

yeah ik lol

i hate it

i almost bought one

[random prism]

MPB is out of the lens I want

[glad juniper]

but for 200 bucks its a great deal

[random prism]

Yeah

[glad juniper]

3 lenses and a mint condition camera

[random prism]

Oo

[glad juniper]

yeah

[random prism]

😢

Im getting close to being able to afford it too

[glad juniper]

you'll probably need to buy 3rd party batts and charger as well

but thats only another 40 bucks

and an sd card

but thats it

you'd be set

[random prism]

Yeah

[random prism]

which do I get what's the differences/drawbacks?

[glad juniper]

those are different generations of the same lens

so the III USM is better than the I

[random prism]

ah i see

but what about the 2 Gen 3s?

[glad juniper]

the USM has a different AF motor

[random prism]

ah

does that matter or is it just diffrent

[glad juniper]

the usm is a little faster

not by much but its a bit faster

[random prism]

I'll probably just go for that then

[echo sigil]

I need yalls opinion: DSLR or Mirrorless?

Ive gotten to try both

Kinda leaning towrd mirrorless

[mighty dew]

If u got money then go to mirrorless

[glad juniper]

agreed

the only dslr's i'd consider getting are cheaper than mirrorless lol

ie D850, 5D4, D6

well, D5/D6

i guess D500? but only if you're totally set on aps-c

[analog comet]

are card readers necessary for Z7 firmware updates/

?

[mighty dew]

Now thats something I don't know

@night warren u got an idea about this?

[echo sigil]

Im not tryna sell a Kidney 💀

[glad juniper]

ah shit i meant more espenive

[glad juniper]

what i meant was the only serious DSLR options that are still competitive with the mirrorless market rn are more expensive

[random prism]

I can afford a used lens now I think

Although not sure what to get for canon EF

Zoom ofc

[echo sigil]

Well im looking for smthn 200mm+, unfer like 6 maybe 700CAD

[kindred finch]

Anyone can identify?

[random prism]

Sony a7ii?

??-45mm

[glad juniper]

no thats just the 50 1.8

and yeah thats an a7rii

[random prism]

Looks like 45

I dunno

[glad juniper]

that says 1.48ft

MFD

thats the lens

[random prism]

Oh lmfao

[kindred finch]

Thanks

[glad juniper]

i'd assume body and lens?

[fathom prism]

https://www.mpb.com/en-eu/product/sigma-100-400mm-f-5-6-3-dg-os-hsm-contemporary-canon-ef-fit/sku-1886696
Worth it?

[echo sigil]

Yeahhhh

[ionic orbit]

Yes

[glad juniper]

Used is fine?

[echo sigil]

Ye fo sho

[glad juniper]

cool cool

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256036550526?

[echo sigil]

Holy fuck thats good

[glad juniper]

you might be able to poach a better deal if you keep looking, but as far as new, 700 cad (500ish usd) won't get you very far

[night warren]

I'm not surre

[glad juniper]

@mighty dew

[analog comet]

bruh

does it even work

[glad juniper]

Even if it doesn't, the lenses alone are worth at least 40 a piece

Nevermind that if it doesn't work it becomes a willing volunteer if my other TC breaks

[mighty dew]

[glad juniper]

dude i bought a soda for less than that last night

[mighty dew]

How u getting all these awesome deals lol

[glad juniper]

those are trade secrets

[mighty dew]

[glad juniper]

spending way too much time on ebay definitely helps lol

It also turns out that I got this lens for a fucking bargin

i payed 50 dabloons for it

and KEH wants 200 for a "bargin" copy

its a bit better on ebay but still

fuck man

[mighty dew]

AHHHH

[glad juniper]

yeah i can't tell if i'm that good or just that lucky

[mighty dew]

Probably both

But the problem is

Wallet

Wallet ain't enjoying what's happening right now

[glad juniper]

hey man, i bought a camera for less than a small fry from mcdonalds

my wallet is perfectly fine rn

deadass i could probably pay for it with just can deposits around the appartment lmao

[random prism]

Bro bought a 1$ camera

[glad juniper]

and 15 cents

can't forget the 15 cents

realistically i payed 38 cents for the camera, since the 1.15 was for all the shit

[random prism]

What is it an old kodiak disposable camera

[mighty dew]

A penny saved is a penny earned

[glad juniper]

less if i factor in a the strap and half case as 2 items

[mighty dew]

Yea u right about that lol

[glad juniper]

actually lets include those plus the lens case

[random prism]

My wallet is about to be a lot less unhappy hopefully

[glad juniper]

so thats 18 cents all told

for just the camera

[random prism]

Although to get the job I need to be able to lift 80lbs and we ain't there yet

But what is the camera 🤨

It's about to be a backup camera for his car

[glad juniper]

its my second konica autoreflex tc

[random prism]

to the Google

That's actually sick

[glad juniper]

see i also put in my bid before i accidentally fixed my current one

[random prism]

Lmaoo

Can you still buy film for it?

[glad juniper]

cause i was intending to get a body for parts

[glad juniper]

i've got a drawer full of film, i'll be fine

[random prism]

Ah

Mom's old cameras

[mighty dew]

Why go to a camera store when u could go to Maus

[random prism]

Fr

I think I'm going to get a EF mount zoom lens

Then once I'm working I'll get a body of my own

[glad juniper]

k1000 👀

also based yashie

i want one

[random prism]

Lol idk where they came from or why we have them

[glad juniper]

you should go get some film and shoot them

the k1000's meter probably still works

[random prism]

Yeah that would be cool

[glad juniper]

ik there's one photo shop in eugene that does dev

[random prism]

Dot Dotson's

[glad juniper]

yeah them

[random prism]

We used to go there a lot

Not for film tho

Lady was never nice to me

[glad juniper]

oh wait its not them

its pacific photolab

[random prism]

Oh

Never been there

[glad juniper]

fuck thats cheap too

[random prism]

I've heard of them

[glad juniper]

makes mike's look like a fucking scam

(it is)

[random prism]

Lmao

I wonder why B&W costs more

[glad juniper]

bruh i'm paying 20 for dev and scan

[random prism]

Damn

Yeah I guess dots doesn't do dev anymore

I wish they would catalog their used stuff online

They usually have quite a bit of decent stuff in

[glad juniper]

i really want a 120 camera of some kind

TLR or otherwise

i've got my eyes on a mamiya rb67 or M645 rn

maybe a zanza bronica, depends on what the market does

[random prism]

lol

yeah

[glad juniper]

also you better keep that yashie

or get it from your mom when she wants to get rid of it

or don't tell her and i'll buy it for 50

[random prism]

oof

k1000 is worth about 150 i think

[glad juniper]

it shouldn't be lmao

its free marketed to about double what a good condition one should be worth lol

[random prism]

ah

[glad juniper]

yeah

cause its a "trendy camera"

[random prism]

buy now then?

for camera gear?

[glad juniper]

i wouldn't buy one now unless you found a working one for less than 70 ish

[random prism]

ah

[glad juniper]

yeah

[random prism]

what about general modern things

[glad juniper]

the price "turn" seems to be about 15 years or so lol

so any camera built in the last 15 years will keep going down until it turns anywhere from 15-20 years old

then it starts going back up

some turn faster than others

some never turn at all

[random prism]

ah

okay

same for lens then?

[glad juniper]

nah lenses are different

i haven't figured those out

[random prism]

ah

makes sense

[glad juniper]

yeah

since fast glass will always cost more

but if its a dead mount it'll be cheap

[random prism]

yeah

[glad juniper]

i mean here's a modern 50 1.4

[random prism]

oof

still looking for go lens for spotting

[glad juniper]

and here's a 50 1.4 from the late 80s in a dead mount

[random prism]

not as bad

[glad juniper]

not at all

[random prism]

deadmount meaning?

[glad juniper]

meaning konica as a company doesn't exist anymore

basically its any mount that is dead

[random prism]

ahh like defunct company

[glad juniper]

wether that means no new glass (nikon 1) or no new cameras (konica) or whatever

or just doesn't exist anymore

[random prism]

ah discontinued as well

[glad juniper]

in some way shape or form, yeah

[random prism]

okay makes sense

[glad juniper]

that also means no new parts, so if you break something, you'll need to buy another to take parts from

[random prism]

yeah...

[glad juniper]

see also cars lmao

[random prism]

yeah

i need to clean my sensor lol

[glad juniper]

yeah mine's about due for a cleaning too

probably some time before i head home, thats for sur e

[random prism]

there's no dust spots but if i set it right there's a big one in the bottom right

[glad juniper]

mine are all on the top right lol

[random prism]

lol

[glad juniper]

i just need to figure out how long the current shop time is at mikes

[random prism]

yeah

is it hard to do yourself?

[glad juniper]

its not hard, but i don't trust myself to do it

[random prism]

ah

[glad juniper]

yeah

its basically a squeegee for the sensor lol

[random prism]

i could probably do it fine but i don't trust myself

[glad juniper]

oh its really easy to do lol

just lock the mirror up and wipe once in each direction

up and down too

[random prism]

yeah

[glad juniper]

i'll probably learn at some point, 65 bucks a cleaning isn't uh

whats the word

good

[random prism]

wtf thats a lot

[glad juniper]

they also clean the rest of the camera but yeah

[random prism]

what kind of CA is this 💀 its not even an old video

[glad juniper]

i have no clue lmao

[random prism]

its from 3 yrs ago

[glad juniper]

and they use the same swabs that i can go buy on B&H lol

[random prism]

lol

[glad juniper]

but business is business

[random prism]

you do it first then tell me how it goes

lmao

[glad juniper]

i've got an old D7000 that probably needs a cleaning soon too

i'll throw that under the bus and see how it fairs lmao

[random prism]

oop okay

[glad juniper]

later tho

[random prism]

well ya

[glad juniper]

whats the other lens that your mom has for the pentax?

[random prism]

[random prism]

[glad juniper]

[random prism]

DUNNO

[glad juniper]

its hard to tell from just the case

[random prism]

caps

[glad juniper]

i'm pretty sure the lens thats on it is a 28 2.8

[random prism]

ah

ill look next time im up there

[glad juniper]

definitely worth a look

[random prism]

yeah

[glad juniper]

i mean mf and spotting isn't ideal, but you could also spot on film

which would be really fun

[random prism]

that would be dope

[glad juniper]

its on my bucket list lol

[random prism]

im still looking for a good lens for the 550

[glad juniper]

over the summer for sure

[random prism]

Ahh

[idle tendon]

is the nikon z6ii (2) a good camera for plane spotting

[ionic orbit]

Very

Yes

[lilac prawn]

I know nothing about cameras, and I would like to get one for as cheap as it can get.

It can also be used

<@&999464167864008795>

[mighty dew]

Whats ur budget

[lilac prawn]

3 or 400

[mighty dew]

Nikon or Canon?

[lilac prawn]

Doesn't matter

[mighty dew]

For nikon u could get the D3300, D5300

[glad juniper]

Easily

[glad juniper]

You could find good deals on a better body but thats would be most of your budget

And by better I mean pro lol

A subtle replacement has been aquired

[mighty dew]

[random prism]

@glad juniper

[glad juniper]

👀

[random prism]

2 don't have lens and 1st lens is broken or sum idk

the xg-a looks fine

and the yashica is also missing its rewind arm

[glad juniper]

old glass

sheesh

[random prism]

Yeah

Should I get the xg-a?

[glad juniper]

if everything works yeah

open it up and make sure the curtain is still in one piece too

if it advances and fires at all speeds yeah it'll be fine

metering is optional, there's an app for that

[random prism]

The sensor is shot

My mom doesn't think it's any good

[glad juniper]

wdym shot

[random prism]

Also its like sticky

[random prism]

Really scratched

[glad juniper]

thats just the mirror

[random prism]

Eh I'd rather save for a modern body

[glad juniper]

yeah but film

[random prism]

Lol

My mom has to go to dots so I'll look there

[glad juniper]

very nice

[random prism]

Still it's 10$

Fuck lens I'm saving for this

[random prism]

@glad juniper you were right it's another lens

The 49mm is what was originally on there

[glad juniper]

49mm is the filter size

Its a 28 2.8 I believe

Or 2?

I can't tell

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper is a Canon 2000D any good

Or the Rebel T7

[glad juniper]

I mean its alright

You're looking at only 3fps in continuous drive, which isn't that uh

Good

[glad juniper]

Don't buy those bundles

[echo sigil]

Why 💀

[glad juniper]

Cause it's all shit

[echo sigil]

E

Mainly jusy for Camera and Lens tbh

75-300 looks dope

[glad juniper]

https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/eos-rebel-t7-double-zoom-lens-kit?color=Black&type=Kit

Get it directly from canon then

Same camera and lenses for cheaper

[echo sigil]

Wait so does it come with the 17-55mm lens too?

[glad juniper]

That's what canon is selling, yes

[echo sigil]

Dub

[echo sigil]

Thats Canon USA and they dont ship to Canada 💀

[glad juniper]

https://shop.canon.ca/en_ca/p/eos-rebel-t7-ef-s-18-55mm-f-3-5-5-6-is-ii

you'd need to pick up the 75-300 elsewhere tho

[echo sigil]

Damn that bundle on Canon Usa was hella good

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper thinking about the Canon SX70 💀

[glad juniper]

don't you fucking dare

[echo sigil]

Why 💀

247mm looks hella fine

[glad juniper]

its not

it looks like shit

bridge cameras are a waste of money

[echo sigil]

Fuck man

The T7 seems like a dub

But the lens is apparently shit

And the other lens is hella expensive

[glad juniper]

yeah the canon 75-300 is uh

not great

[echo sigil]

Yeee that's what everyone I've asked has said so far

[glad juniper]

i mean its usable

[random prism]

https://offerup.com/item/detail/1267563302

400mm and 300mm

if i could look at them in person id do it

[glad juniper]

Oooo that contax

[random prism]

[glad juniper]

Fuck I might get that and hope it's not a scam/fake listing

The g2 runs about 1500 online

[random prism]

waiting to see if they even get back

it was last updated a year ago

i mean it looks well taken care of

[glad juniper]

It looks extremely well taken care of

[random prism]

hoping for that, "will you do 150 for both the lenses?"

[glad juniper]

I'd just hope it's not one of those "list for really cheap so it gets a lot of attention but actually we're selling it for a lot"

[random prism]

yeah

i mean no way its 3$

but hopefully not 3k

i think this person must have inherited it

did you send them a message?

https://offerup.com/item/detail/0134e5b1-6677-3c0c-a925-6807370ec95a

neither do i

[random prism]

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2262864850567865/?mibextid=dXMIcH

Why are all the good deals mot where I live

[glad juniper]

Big chungus lens

[glad juniper]

I have very unfortunate news

I learned today that my first camera was indeed a Canon powershit

And ofc my second was a nikon

The canon takes AAs so it's a bw only pns now

Edc bag camera and whatnot

If I can find the charger for the nikon it will be the same but for color

Or maybe it'll be the other way around

Idk yet

[random prism]

@glad juniper im looking at getting a Nikon z50 or a canon r50 but neither has image stabilization, do i need it?

https://cameradecision.com/faq/is-the-Canon-EOS-R50-good-for-Sports-Photography

https://cameradecision.com/review/Nikon-Z50

[glad juniper]

I wouldn't get the aps-c stuff tbh

If you want an old nikon z, get the Z5

[random prism]

o

looking for mirrorless but with the new lens mounts

RF for canon

Z for Nikon idk

https://cameradecision.com/review/Nikon-Z5

I think

That's the golden ticket

[placid tapir]

whats poppin over here

[fathom prism]

880, not bad

Kinda need a body upgrade, maybe going for the 6D mkii or 7D mkii

or then the 850D, but lets see

[random prism]

That what I'm going for is a 7d2

[random prism]

https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/eos-r100-body?color=Black&type=New

@glad juniper take a look at this

[glad juniper]

Yeah what about it

[random prism]

Sub 500$ for a mirrorless

Is it worth it for Spotting you think?

[glad juniper]

Its an m series camera with the right mount lol

Idk how it'd do

Good enough probably

I'd still jump for an r50 tho

[random prism]

It's an RF mount not M mount

[glad juniper]

Yeah

Rf is the right mount

[random prism]

Yeah

[glad juniper]

M is dead

[random prism]

Yeah

Glass for it being expensive tho

[glad juniper]

Well yeah

[random prism]

Idk now it's another do I get this or the 400mm EF glass

[glad juniper]

Plus you'd still probably upgrade to something better in a few years

[random prism]

Hmm

Guess it's kinda an entry level mirrorless
