Camera Advice

[glad juniper]

Its not kinda, it is lol

[random prism]

Lol

[ionic orbit]

Get a fullframe body

Mirrorless mfs are too expensive

[echo sigil]

Top or bottom

Also would both fit the T7?

[random prism]

The 75-300 isn't an amazing lens, but the 70-300 is a good lens, I'd recommend that one

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325488049820?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=V9ZAJKPLT9C&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=uvklzzpvszu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Like this one

[echo sigil]

The Difference in price goes crazy

Thanks tho fr

[glad juniper]

If you had to get one of the ones you showed, the 55-250 is the better of the two

The 75-300 is hot garbage

[random prism]

Paying for better glass pays off

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper

[glad juniper]

Its a start

You'll need a longer lens tho

[echo sigil]

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-camera-camcorder-lens/oshawa-durham-region/canon-ef-70-300mm-f-4-5-6-is-usm-telephoto-zoom-lens/1661710087

[echo sigil]

If i remember correctly everyone said the 70-300 is better than the 75-300

Lens is 100% needed for sure

300 seems perfect for me

[glad juniper]

By far lol

[echo sigil]

So should i cop

[ionic orbit]

Very

[echo sigil]

So to summarize @ionic orbit @glad juniper @mighty dew @random prism think i should get them?

[random prism]

this?

[echo sigil]

Along with the T7 abive

[random prism]

what cam u have now?

[echo sigil]

Canon SX430IS so anything is an upgrade 💀

[random prism]

yeah id say its a good deal

im not to qualified to make a decision tho

@glad juniper we need you

[echo sigil]

Fr lol

[placid tapir]

i want the 850d

bruh

[analog comet]

Is it worth spending several hundred quid more to get rh Z7 II instead of Z7 if its for aviation and nature photography only

[glad juniper]

Not really tbh, the 7 is a great rig

If you're gonna pixel peep then yeah, get the 7ii but if your not

Don't

[mighty dew]

@glad juniper wakey wakey

Which one is better?

[glad juniper]

depends, do you need the 600?

[echo sigil]

Bro summoned the camera God

[mighty dew]

For airshows, Whidbey and low level yes

Only problem I've got with the 600 is storage and how to carry it

[glad juniper]

so get the 80-400 now, and rent as you go for everything else

its sharper and faster

[mighty dew]

Thats what I like. I guess I'll sell my 70-300 to them and get the 80-400

Wouldn't need the 70-300 anymore

[glad juniper]

based

what do you have for ramp work?

[mighty dew]

Got a basic 18-55. Imma buy a 24-70 by next month for close ups

[glad juniper]

why not an 18-50 2.8?

or 17-50

sigma and tamron make one

[glad juniper]

or get my personal favorite, the 35-105 macro

[mighty dew]

Hmmmm

35-105 sounds good

How much is one

[glad juniper]

50-60 bucks

the maco and non macro versions are the same lens, so it doesn't matter which you get

[random prism]

👀

potential buyer

Wait no

You use Nikon not canon

Nvm

[mighty dew]

Yea Nikon better

[random prism]

Tbf idrc if I can afford it

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper bro is this not perfect dawg

ALSO DOES IT HAVE A 25-600MM LENS TF

[random prism]

Someone rename this to "ping maus about cameras"

[random prism]

Wait wtf, is this DSLR?

Is it actually a 600mm lens

524$??

Ohhh

I don't think it has interchangeable lens

[echo sigil]

But if it's got a 600 then i wouldn't need to change

[echo sigil]

Lefit lmfao

[echo sigil]

Thats what I'm wondering

[random prism]

Yeah

Since it's such a big range it might be quite soft at either end

[echo sigil]

Yeah but it's 600, i don't see myself consistently using it all

[glad juniper]

Don't bother with one

[echo sigil]

So buy 2 👀

[glad juniper]

Bridge cams are worthless if you can afford literally anything else

[echo sigil]

Roght but its 500 dollars G

For a 600mm

And 4k

[glad juniper]

The only thing they're good for is being a waste of money

[random prism]

I need to waste my money on something

[echo sigil]

Real

[mighty dew]

Hahaha bagged it @glad juniper

So much better than this shitty 70-300

[glad juniper]

Pog

[ionic orbit]

W 80-400

Its crazy

[random prism]

Final set up now

R50

RF100-400

But if I can't afford that

EF-RF adapter with a cheaper EF lens

[glad juniper]

shoulda gone with nikon smh

[echo sigil]

Imma go with Panasonic 🗿

Cant wait fir Maus to show uo at my front door with an axe fir sayingg that

[glad juniper]

nah i wouldn't use an ax

[random prism]

It'll be worse

I already know canon so yeah

[random prism]

https://youtube.com/shorts/ja5eo1XXEww?feature=share

whoa never knew that

It does fit perfectly

[glad juniper]

tbh that only really mattered for film

[random prism]

Yeah probably doesn't make a huge difference digital

Still a cool touch

[glad juniper]

yeah

[random prism]

I was wondering what that thing was

Also found an RF100-400 for 380$ from canon

[vale mortar]

Cheap

Buy

It

[random prism]

I

Am

Going

Too

[vale mortar]

Then

Go

Spot

Commercial

Planes

At

Ur

Local

Airport

[glad juniper]

The rf 100-400 is slow as shit but it's reasonably sharp

[quasi summit]

Hii

[glad juniper]

ik its not really directly camera, but i picked up a nearly new hood for my konicas

for all of 20 bucks it came with everything but the box lol

Looks pretty good too

[echo sigil]

Looks nice

[glad juniper]

ikr

its a bit large but it looks good

[random prism]

I think this is a better option cheaper and overall looks better

Nikon Z50:
https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/nikon-z50/sku-1947073

Tamron 70-300mm:
https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/tamron-70-300mm-f2f45-63-di-iii-rxd-nikon-z-fit/sku-2012560

Z50 vs the R50
https://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-Z50-vs-Canon-EOS-R50

Nikon vs Canon

Also about $150 cheaper

Do i dare ping the camera experts

Fuck it

<@&999464167864008795>

Who even has that role

[mighty dew]

Me and Maus

Z5

[random prism]

Oh

[random prism]

Ok

With the 300mm?

They literally have the same exact score on the comparison 💀

[mighty dew]

Yea but nikon better overall

[random prism]

Yeah

It's also cheaper

Not that I can afford either yet

Well I just need 170 to afford the body

[glad juniper]

Z50, hands down

i believe its the same sensor thats in the D500 and D7500

[random prism]

Ah ok

Now to figure out how to get it before july 3rd

Or according to MPB the 3th

30$ for shipping is ridiculous

I'd have to do 40$ to get it in time

[glad juniper]

i mean that is 6 day shipping from the east coast to the west coast lol

[random prism]

Fair

Lol

[random prism]

Decided to play it safe

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/802758774-USE/canon_0571c002_ef_70_300mm_f_4_5_6_is.html

Free 2 day shipping

[ionic orbit]

W

Very nice lens

[somber berry]

EF 14-1200mm f/0.95 $788,888++

[random prism]

@glad juniper picked this up Instead for 50$ from dots

The guy there was super nice

[glad juniper]

Pog

[random prism]

Yes he let me try it on his camera lol

Didn't think to bring mine

It has some dust tho

[glad juniper]

yeah thats normal

dust in and on a lens is deadass expected lol

[random prism]

Lucky none in the middle of the lens

[glad juniper]

again, that doesn't matter lol

you'll get dust in the lens even if you never take it out of the box

[random prism]

Yeah

[glad juniper]

https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2019/04/removing-fly-from-weather-sealed-canon-70-200mm/

[random prism]

How tf do you get a fly in a weather sealed lens

[glad juniper]

you let it sit for long enough

or push pull it hard enough and suck bug eggs in

[ionic orbit]

Wtf

[fathom prism]

Might get this lens hood soon

[echo sigil]

<@&999464167864008795> is a polarizer worth getting?

[glad juniper]

Honestly no, I've got a few and I rarely use them

If you plan on shooting a lot of cars yeah they're helpful but not essential

Anyways I'm back on my cheap as shit binge

5 bucks

[random prism]

Big pro

1.4x extender

And idk

Canon R3

And EF-RF adapter I think

[glad juniper]

500 5.6 maybe?

[random prism]

Maybe

[echo sigil]

SL3 looks neat ngl <@&999464167864008795>

[glad juniper]

Yeah but it's a canon

Your stuck with shit lenses unless you buy third party or spend twice as much as the body on a single lens

[echo sigil]

I thought about that, but the 70-300 seems nice

[echo sigil]

<@&999464167864008795> what abt this with the SL3 tho

[glad juniper]

great lens limited at 250

its up to you if you are ok with sacrificing reach

[echo sigil]

I don't "think" it should be too bad of an issue

My current camera has like 193mm and its doing ok at YYZ, YHM, YXU, and YOO so should be alright

[echo sigil]

But in terms of quality tho, would you says it good?

[glad juniper]

better than the 75-300 but worse than the 70-300

[ionic orbit]

70-300 is ii

W

[glad juniper]

@fallow scarab what seems to be the problem chap

or question

[fallow scarab]

when I wake up properly I'll ask again

[fallow scarab]

so im a goober with no mone and these are probably my best options for buying a camera, which of these 4 should i get (or atleast beg my parents to get)

look at the "WeSell" price rather than the other ones

[glad juniper]

the 1100D is the newest camera there

granted "newest" is still 12 years old lol

[fallow scarab]

yep

lol

[glad juniper]

as for lenses, try and get the 55-250

its leaps and bounds ahead of the 75-300 alternative

better ergo, better optics, better focus control

[fallow scarab]

anything else youd suggest for a cheapskate beginner

[glad juniper]

not atm, the only thing i could reasonably suggest is buy another battery

[fallow scarab]

alr

i mean im likely not gonna be planespotting but moreso just general camera usage

[glad juniper]

maybe a tripod? its not really necessary but its nice to have just in case

[fallow scarab]

i have one already

shit wrong channel

[random prism]

@glad juniper you gonna need a coca cola camera now

[glad juniper]

and you didn't get one for me?

i'm hurt

[random prism]

It's was 3100 ntd

Like 93$

[glad juniper]

yeah but think of the memes

[random prism]

Yeah but think of my wallet

[glad juniper]

yeah but the memes

[random prism]

Yeah but the bank account

I legit cannot find the camera online

[glad juniper]

just another reason why you shoulda got it

[ionic orbit]

Lmai

[quasi summit]

Good cameras for cheap ranging £50-250 for airport spotting?

So I know how much to save up

[glad juniper]

body and lens i take it?

[random prism]

Use my setup

Canon 550D with 75-300mm USM ii, I'm sure you could find a III for similar price

It's not amazing but it takes good pictures

300mm

75mm

[sullen kettle]

I’m looking for a really good camera to replace my point and click which has good photos but I just need a new one, I need the body of the camera itself under 1k but what I’m looking for is an easy to use cam, super high quality, very fast shutter speed, can record video at a very high FPS and still has high quality and a digital screen that can flip outwards bc I wanna see what I’m taking a picture of in the sunlight bc I wanna take pics like these but like 5x better

[glad juniper]

Do you have a budget for lenses yet or nah

[sullen kettle]

Idk maybe below 1k as well

[random prism]

Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/1iATPxSRiCb

Yay or nay

Looks legit

Not a super fan of Nikon

Nothing against image quality or anything

Just the grip, it's weird to me

But for 400$ hmm

[glad juniper]

Yeah thats a screaming deal tbh

Offer 350

[random prism]

Is the 70-300mm better than canon 75-300?

[glad juniper]

Uh yes

Without a doubt yes

[random prism]

I sent them a message

I guess now if I get this I'll have a random 75-300mm

Still has the lowlight problem but whatever

[random prism]

https://victoria.craigslist.org/ele/d/victoria-canon-eos-80d/7642665011.html

Good deal it looks like for anyone that could afford

[glad juniper]

Got a new film cam

[random prism]

Stoopppppp

Your addicted

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-get-some-help-gif-15058124

[echo sigil]

Got to try out a T7i today

With a 75-300

@glad juniper would you say getting a Mirrorless is the way to go?

Like say the Canon R series fir example

[glad juniper]

Honestly yes

If you can afford the jump, yes

[random prism]

Fair warning, In the mirrorless camera lens there are not a ton of telephoto zoom lens, from what I can find...granted I didn't look very hard

Canons 100-400 is 600$ tho

[random prism]

@glad juniper do you think they'd sell the 70-300 separate?

[glad juniper]

definitely ask

its craigslist after all lmao

[random prism]

Yeah it's in Vancouver tho...

I emailed asking and asking if they would ship it

@glad juniper opinions?

[glad juniper]

it'll be violently soft on the extremes

[echo sigil]

Seems like a great all in one lens thats why

[glad juniper]

it won't be that great lol

you're better off buyin an 18-135 and a 100-400

[echo sigil]

Would you say that its better that the Canon 75-300 tho?

[glad juniper]

75-300, yes but not by much

Canons actual 70-300 is damn good for the money

[random prism]

What I'm tryna get

But seller won't reply

[random prism]

@elder dome

https://daytona.craigslist.org/pho/d/port-orange-canon-7d-dslr/7652791174.html

Good deal in your area

No lens

75-300 is cheap but meh lens

70-300 is more but much better

Might be out of budget tho

[elder dome]

I’m joining a photography club at erau and they have a whole collection of used cameras that they buy and resell to students so ima see what’s going on there

might be a scam idk

[random prism]

Ooh

Send pics

So.you don't get scammed

[elder dome]

ok the first meeting isn’t until next week

[random prism]

Actually get this

[elder dome]

💀

[glad juniper]

Actually that's not a bad deal lol

[glad juniper]

Embridiot

Like, that's a really good deal

[glad juniper]

The gangs all here

Minus another flash and a pair of lenses for the contaflex

[random prism]

Oml you need help

[random prism]

Buy it I dare you

I triple dog dare you

You have to now

[glad juniper]

nah i shoot everything there lol

and i'm still missing two cameras on top of that

[random prism]

💀

[glad juniper]

my sister is shooting my pentax p30t and my mom is gonna give me her F2AS at some point

and my grandfather is going to give me some cams and lenses in december

i'm doin pretty good rn

[glad juniper]

its not a lens

[random prism]

Yes a lens

[glad juniper]

[random prism]

What

Bro got the display stand

[glad juniper]

Fuckin yeah I did

[random prism]

You need help

[echo sigil]

This man Maus would make the perfect camera YouTuber

[random prism]

He's literally looking at cameras to buy online 😭😭😭

[glad juniper]

nah i was looking to see if i was getting a good deal if i bought a really beat up one locally

[autumn vector]

Found a good deal for a k1000 film camera in good condition but seller hasn’t tested it, what do u people think

[glad juniper]

untested?

if its more than 40 bucks its not a great deal lol

esp if its just the body

[autumn vector]

It’s $50 but in person pickup so should I buy batteries and test it myself with the seller? However I don’t know much about film cameras

[glad juniper]

Does it come with a lens?

Also "untested" film cameras can mean anything lol

Almost all of them will dry fire and work but the low shutter speeds could be off or there's light leaks or the shutter curtain is damaged or the meter is cooked

Tested usually means "I ran a roll of film through it and the pics are fine"

[autumn vector]

Yea

[glad juniper]

Ok that's a start

[autumn vector]

Is the price sketchy?

[glad juniper]

No not at all

[autumn vector]

God damn it he doesn’t have the batteries

So test it right then and there I suppose..?

But I have little understanding of how film cameras work so lol

[glad juniper]

Yeah it's kinda hard to test on the spot tbh, sometimes the meters work but are off

And you won't know that unless you have one with a good meter

And its just a k1k, it will still work without batteries

You'll have to meter externally but it shouldn't be too hard

Do you know which lens it comes withk

[autumn vector]

Only image, maybe 50mm?

This is what I have but I’ll ask him

[glad juniper]

i'm guessing by the camera case its in working condition and has been used a bit lol

50 bucks yeah i'd definitely jump on that

[autumn vector]

So what do u suggest I do if the meter is faulty

Negotiate a lower price and have it repaired?

[glad juniper]

if the meter is faulty bring it up and offer 40

but no i wouldn't get it repaired

too much money to get a meter replaced

if your gonna spend that much money to get it working again, buy a working one

[autumn vector]

Just picked it up, meter is working which I’m glad because that was my main concern

But it might need some adjustments because the exposure counter is at 0 and the lever won’t move

[glad juniper]

Wdym

[autumn vector]

The frame counter is stuck and it displays -2

[glad juniper]

Pics?

And it won't advance?

[autumn vector]

No luck

[autumn vector]

seems like a easy repair I’ll look into it sometime https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tDWsJnN8PbU&pp=ygUbRml4IG9sZCBjYW1lcmEgamFtbWVkIGsxMDAw

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper how do i get pics from my ded canon to my phone?

[glad juniper]

uh take out the sd card

then card -> laptop/pc -> cable to phone

[glad juniper]

Ok yeah this was worth it

[random prism]

Oh phew 10 not 1000

[glad juniper]

Its the basis for stupid scope v.2

Now I'm looking at 1600mm at max wack

V.1 was only 1000mm

[random prism]

Oh no

Plane spotting gonna go wild now

[glad juniper]

Nah mostly moon

And wildlife

[random prism]

Ooh

[elder dome]

til this exists

[glad juniper]

[elder dome]

<@&999464167864008795> t7?

[glad juniper]

depends, are you gonna get good glass for it or are you gonna settle for mid glass

[elder dome]

sorry I don’t know anything what is glass

[glad juniper]

lenses

almost all of canon's entry level lenses are shit

[elder dome]

oh ok

what would you recommend?

i’m willing to pay a decent amount for something good

mainly looking at spotting aircraft that have just departed from about 1k feet max away

[glad juniper]

what size planes lol

[elder dome]

everything

from c172 to a380

I spot everywhere basically

[glad juniper]

hmmm

are you looking for just one lens or nah

[elder dome]

preferably

i’m looking into it and i’m basically down to 75-300 or 70-300 but the 70-300 is sorta out of my budget but I could probably make it work

[glad juniper]

canon's 75-300 is shit

[random prism]

Get 70-300

75-300 is dooky, but would be a ok lens till you can afford a 70-300

I wish someone would hire me already so I can upgrade this dooky setup

[lucid aurora]

should i get a 55-250 lens

kinda tired of switching from 18-55 to 75-300 back and forth

[glad juniper]

Nah I'd stick with the 70-300

Losing 50mm on the long end and only gaining 25 on the short end isn't a good trade

If you wanted a good middle ground lens I'd look for a 24-120 or a 28-135

There's not gonna be one "perfect" lens, switching is just part of the game

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper opinions?

[glad juniper]

you could do a lot better for 800 bucks

and the early generation evfs are kinda suck

and if you still want sony
https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/sony-alpha-a7r-ii/sku-2010559

you can get a far better camera for around the same price

you'll still need glass, yes but its significantly better

[echo sigil]

Seems like win considering i het the lens too

[glad juniper]

yes and no?

210 isn't a lot of zoom

you'll still be cropping a ton just to fill the frame

litterally double the sensor size

also the ergo is better but idk if thats something you're caring about lol

[echo sigil]

Yeah true ig

[ionic orbit]

tbh a7m3 would be better

[glad juniper]

I mean yeah, by that logic you should just get an A7RV then lol

Since it is better

[ionic orbit]

Fr

[glad juniper]

@random prism https://www.photographytalk.com/landscape-photography/8588-solar-filter-buying-guide

i saw your story

a normal nd filter isn't strong enough

[random prism]

Oh ok

Thanks

[scarlet creek]

Hey, can anyone help me out I'm just starting to get into aircraft photography and I want to get a better lens any suggestions and also another tips

[glad juniper]

What lens do you have now, what types of aircraft are you photographing, what body do you have and what's your budget?

[scarlet creek]

I am mainly shooting miltary jets I just have to the stock cannon lens forgot the name but I'll checks later and my budget is fairly low

Maybe around 200-300 aud

@glad juniper

[glad juniper]

Yeah ngl, you're not gonna be getting much for 300 bucks

[scarlet creek]

I could go 500

Or 600

[glad juniper]

6-800 is about the range for a long tele like you'd want for mil

Sigma or tamron 150-600 should do it

[scarlet creek]

The again I don't need I super long tele thr Mil base i go to you can get fairly close

[glad juniper]

how close is close?

[scarlet creek]

About a good 10-20m

[glad juniper]

what lens do you have

and do you have any sample pics of what sorta results youre getting rn

[scarlet creek]

I do have some sample picks I'll get them off it tonight

Rn I am getting ok results I just need a little more magnification to clear up my shots

[scarlet creek]

And also I'm not new to photography just aircraft photography

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper what are the settings used to make the propellors look like they spinning fast?

Also how do i do long exposure

Ir are those the same

Idk

[glad juniper]

the slower the shutter speed the more blur a photo will have

1/200

vs 1/800

[manic monolith]

And then there's 1/1600,

[glad juniper]

lmao yeah

[echo sigil]

@glad juniper shooting a DC3 tmrw, wanna get the prop blur, is this good?

[glad juniper]

Uhhhh no

You're iso has no reason to be that high unless the sun has set lmao

Iso 100-200 will be fine

[glad juniper]

also be sure you can take good photos at 1/60

and at longer focal lengths as well

Is the Canon EOS 1500D a good camera? Anyone have one?

[random prism]

It's a very good entry level DSLR

It's the same exact thing as a rebel T7 I think

[glad juniper]

different in name only

[random prism]

Yos

[ionic orbit]

Iso 3200

[tame thunder]

I have a canon recommendation a eos4000d rlly good camera

[gilded hound]

Dw I got an 800D back in December

Its a great camera

Would this photo get accepted by airliners.net?

Ignore the bloody discord compression

Also when I turn up the whites the lights on the plane goes red for some reason and when i turn up the blacks the plane goes blue for some reason i’m on photoshop on a brand new mac book air (highest spec)

These photos

Will they get accepted

Which ones will which won’t

[glad juniper]

As they stand, none of them

[gilded hound]

This one and why?

Any way of fixing it @glad juniper

[glad juniper]

it might be

probably not but it might be

[gilded hound]

It might be fixed?

What should I do??

I have the RAW version of it btw

[gilded hound]

What’s the problem with it?

[glad juniper]

uncentered, soft, underexposed, lack of contrast, bad color, etc etc

you might be able to get away with it but probably not

[manic monolith]

Way too noisy, as well.

[gilded hound]

Wouldn’t say that I had ISO 100

[glad juniper]

They definitely look noisy

[gilded hound]

Yeah maybe the lens

What’s an acceptable amount of noise

[glad juniper]

Depends on how old the sensor is

[gilded hound]

Camera was made in 2020

[random prism]

Addict

[soft warren]

no the Af is far worse

any sony APS-C (apart from A5100) will have better AF than any FF that isn't an A7 III or higher

[glad juniper]

I'd still rather have the FF bonuses than an early 6X00 series camera tho

[soft warren]

biggest issue is the EVF lag on the A6000 series, AF is already really nice paired with the Sigma 100-400

6400 and above have the 120hz EVF that improves a lot

[glad juniper]

Yeah but the new 6X00 series cams aren't cheap

You'd be better off getting an A7ii or an A7Rii

[glad juniper]

new kit time

[random prism]

@glad juniper Thinking about picking up a used Canon EOS 5D MKII, yah or nah?

although not ASPC

https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii/sku-2225084

or

https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/canon-eos-70d/sku-2192545

[random prism]

hmmmmmmm

[random prism]

Ok, I'm seriously considering this now

https://cameradecision.com/compare/Canon-EOS-550D-vs-Canon-EOS-70D

[glad juniper]

Yeah thats nice

[quasi summit]

absolutely mint'

[glad juniper]

Mhmm

[random prism]

Seriously addicted

I'm either gonna get a 70D or the current 70-300

Found deals on both on MPB just waiting for Black Friday 👀👀

If they do that

[glad juniper]

Not really, I've needed an upgrade for my edc zoom for a long while now

I've got a slow 35-105 and a mf 35-135

Now I've got a 24-120 f4 to replace both lenses

I can also throw it on film since it's a FX lens

And I'm getting an F5 for Christmas so I think it'll all work out lol

[random prism]

Lol

[glad juniper]

Mhmm

[quasi summit]

what camera do i get

ive currently got about £80 saved up

im gonna exchange about 90 euros i found

to £70

so im gonna have about £150

or should i save up

[glad juniper]

I mean you could get a few oem batteries for 150

Cameras? Not so much

Unless you're ok with a late 90s early 00s 6mp dslr

[quasi summit]

I mean

I could probably get a used canon 550d for £200

[random prism]

That's what I run

You can get one for 40$

And a 75-300mm for 70$

I'll find some images I've taken with that exact set up

@quasi summit

[ionic orbit]

Give

Buying it soon anyways

[quasi summit]

[random prism]

I can't find the one with the camera I think might have been sold, lemme get a link to the lens rq

https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/canon-ef-75-300mm-f-4-5-6-iii?sort[productPrice]=ASC&page=2

[random prism]

Nikon addict

I think I see the lens I just bought

[glad juniper]

[random prism]

Behind the camera you are holding

[glad juniper]

[ionic orbit]

[random prism]

What the fuck this is huge

[random prism]

I got a free sticky note too

[glad juniper]

Where's your fuckin lens cap you monkey

[random prism]

💀

In my back pocket

I was just switching the lenses over then I realized how much bigger it actually is

[random prism]

I met the CEO of Dutch Bros yesterday, he has the new Sony a9iii

He was filming my sister's band concert

[glad juniper]

My partner just got me my Christmas present

[ionic orbit]

Waiting for my 200500

[random prism]

Didn't you just get a RP??

Bro can't decide what team he's on

[ionic orbit]

Rf lenses are expensive af bru

I'm leaving it until I get enough money

[random prism]

They have ef to RF adapters

[ionic orbit]

Still

I got 200500mm for like 450$

Who won't buy it

[soft warren]

damn

With no major issue?

[random prism]

W

I paid 350 for my 70-300

[ionic orbit]

Yes

Cuz the guy selling it got a brand new 180600 for his z8. So he just gave it for a cheap price

[elder dome]

@quasi summit help i accident deleted all the channels besides the forums

how do i get them back

[quasi summit]

lmfao

fym

[quasi summit]

😭

oh

browse channels?

[glad juniper]

Old mf

All I need is a cf card reader and I'll be golden

[sullen kettle]

My viewfinder is slightly blurry how do I properly clean it

All the pics come out fine but it’s the viewfinder and it’s annoying

[glad juniper]

did you fuck with the diopter on accident

[sullen kettle]

Idek

My grandpas view finder was so blurry you had to use the digital screen

[glad juniper]

yeah thats the diopter

Fuck with this little dial till the viewfinder is clear

It adjusts the focus of the actual screen so if you have glasses you can dial in your prescription and shoot without your glasses on

[random prism]

4 eyes smh

[echo sigil]

MAUS

THERE'S A FUCKING R10 SELLING FOR $405

with
Ef 50mm
Efs 55-250
Rfs 18-45

I gitta get this

[random prism]

OMG BUY BUY BUY

like now

fast

although it might be fucked for that cheap

well i did just buy a sony a600 with a 10-18 and a 55-210 for 150$ and its mint

well i didn't

my friend gave me money and i bought it from a plane spotter here

no batt tho

for him not me

im just the middle man

per usual

[echo sigil]

She says it got 20 on thr shutyer count which is hella low

Things is

Its auction

And theres a dude that consistently tops every offer

Like within a minute

It ends in 2 days

Im gonna one up him last minute

If not he'll just keep adding

Cuz nobody has bid after him yet

Its a $405 rn

[random prism]

auctions are a bitch

[glad juniper]

Yeah it won't last long at 405

24 hours from now it'll be in the 7s I bet

[naive scarab]

i got this canon 1000d from my grandad, was my nanas old camera, but how do i fix this

[random prism]

press menu

then can you send another pic

[naive scarab]

i figured it out,

but had to put a smaller sd card in

[random prism]

formatting it just means the camera formats the card to its liking

if go to menu -> yellow play button -> under one should be format or something like that

[naive scarab]

yeah

when i did it, with the first sd card i put it it said it couldn't format it

so i got a smaller one and it worked

[random prism]

huh intresting

55-250 is decent for spotting

i think the 1000d is apsc too

[naive scarab]

Yes it is

[lucid aurora]

Haha i had that same problem when i was settin up my brand new T7

[random prism]

huh so it only lets you use micro sd?

that's weird

my friend is gonna sell me his for 100 bucks

[lucid aurora]

Nope

you can also use normal SDXC cards

but if you have a micro

Then there’s a micro sd adapter

[peak vortex]

@glad juniper Could you help me find a good canon lens for my camera?

I’m looking between 400mm-600mm

I got the Canon Eos T3i

My current lens is a 55mm-250mm

[ionic orbit]

100-400mm or 150-600

[glad juniper]

Elaborate on the following;

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

[glad juniper]

I got a new toy

Basically brand new too

Its got maybe 5k shutters on it

[quasi summit]

there's a chance I'm gonna get my first ever camera tomorrow from my sister for christmas

so no more binoculars

[random prism]

I think your family might be a few days behind

[quasi summit]

yes they are but

they live a while away

[quasi summit]

f5 😊 🥰

[glad juniper]

Mhmm

I might need a new tele but I'm definitely gonna abuse this mf

[lucid aurora]

Kinda thinking of replacing my 75-300 with the 70-300 ii usm

[glad juniper]

you should

its far better

[random prism]

Omg it's so worth it

Do it

Like actually

It's amazing

[lucid aurora]

My 75-300 is worth like $200 lol

$600 for the 70-300

[random prism]

Get used

Got mine for 340

[naive scarab]

i need help with focusing in low light

[glad juniper]

ok?

try single point

[naive scarab]

Okay, ill try that tomorrow

[random prism]

And are you using the view finder or the screen? Because sometimes if you use the viewfinder it will be a lot faster especially in low light

At least that's what I've found on my camera

If you have a newer camera with a screen as a view finder Idk if it'll change anything

[glad juniper]

It'll still be noticeable

[naive scarab]

View finder, idk even know how to use my screen for photos 💀

[glad juniper]

Don't forget cameras tend to suck in low light focusing regardless

[naive scarab]

Yeah

[random prism]

Little camera button with a red dot

[random prism]

https://bend.craigslist.org/pho/d/bend-digital-tamron-lens-for-canon-new/7701368694.html

80$ if anyone wants

https://eugene.craigslist.org/pho/d/eugene-sigma-macro-lens-for-canon/7691822398.html

300$

[gilded hound]

Need a big zoom lens for canon old lens is buggered

[quasi summit]

Anybody know if these are good for £350?

[random prism]

That's it?????

Bro that's 305usd

All that is worth 1200$ or more

It's a steal, but very well could be broken or a scam

[random prism]

What's your budget? And lens mount

[lucid aurora]

ef?

or not ef

[random prism]

I'm assuming EF

Also

I have no clue if the lens is quality or not

[glad juniper]

I mean it won't be great but it'll work

[gilded hound]

£500 budget Canon eos 800D is my camera

[random prism]

70-300 is a good one the current one tho, it's what I use, it you can find one a sigma 100-400 is good as well

[gilded hound]

I’d probably buy second hand or refurbished

[random prism]

Yeah same options really

[gilded hound]

Cheers

[random prism]

Maus will probably have more ideas

But I'd recommend the canon 70-300 and the sigma 100-400

[glad juniper]

Honestly I'd recommend the same lol

[gilded hound]

Cheers

[quasi summit]

my camera is arriving tomorrow

second hand canon eos 5d and a 75-300mm lens paying no more than £350

[glad juniper]

Ouch

I hope you didn't pay more than 50 for the lens

[quasi summit]

£350 altogether

but im gonna get to test it before i give him the money

[random prism]

I paid 70$

[glad juniper]

Yikes

[quasi summit]

What's better, canon EOS 5d or canon EOS 70d

[random prism]

which 5d?

or just the 5d

[quasi summit]

uh

ive got a pic

[random prism]

https://cameradecision.com/compare/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-III-vs-Canon-EOS-70D

[quasi summit]

not the mark iii

since it looks

s q u a r e

[random prism]

the camera in the pic is a mark 3

[quasi summit]

ohhh alr

[quasi summit]

alr

[random prism]

this should help

[glad juniper]

the battery grip is removable too

[random prism]

I did a buy

$75 + a roll of film

[glad juniper]

welcome to the club

[glad juniper]

get a nikkormat or F series camera next time tho

[random prism]

No I'm broke

[glad juniper]

nikkormats are cheap

the FT3s are a bit spendy but very nice

the nikon em's are also fairly cheap

the feature set is really simple but its a nice simple kit

small too

[median quartz]

Whats a good tripod to use? Never used a tripod but i want to record some planes and my hands are hella shaky

I use nikon d5600 so something that works eith that

[glad juniper]

honestly really any of them

[glad juniper]

[median quartz]

Okay

[random prism]

The addiction needs to be stopped

[random prism]

Just don't they the 20$ Amazon basics one

It sucks

[glad juniper]

Mine was a $25 bimart special lmao

[random prism]

Yeah I really don't trust mine

Especially when I have the 300mm on

The tripod itself is sturdy but the mounting system is cheapo

[glad juniper]

It worked just fine

Sure it's broken in 4 spots and I just replaced it with a way nicer one but still

It was fine

[random prism]

💀

I rarely use mine

[glad juniper]

No fuck you

[random prism]

And when I do it'll be with the film camera which is light

[glad juniper]

They were only 70 bucks, it wasn't that bad

[random prism]

I need a job

Or I will never be able to develop film

[glad juniper]

Lmao

Welcome to the club, again

[random prism]

30$ a roll of 36 exposures color is stupid

[glad juniper]

Is that 30 dev and scan?

[random prism]

Just get the negatives and a digital I think

[glad juniper]

Yeah thats not too bad tbh

I was looking at 20 a roll here

Then I got my scanner and I'm down to 10 for just dev

Sorry, 10.99

[random prism]

Ik someone that can do black and white for me but no color

[glad juniper]

Yeah same

[random prism]

How much is a film scanner?

[glad juniper]

It depends

[random prism]

Honestly between me and my 2 friends that shoot film it might be worth it

[glad juniper]

You can do it with a camera, macro lens and a light table

mine was a grand

[random prism]

💀

[glad juniper]

But it was reclaim from odfw lmao

[random prism]

Ah here we go I found a good one

||24k||

[glad juniper]

For all intents and purposes odfw and the state of Oregon threw out and destroyed the film scanner

[random prism]

Silly government

[glad juniper]

Goofy lil mans

[random prism]

Fr

[glad juniper]

Honestly all you need to do is Google film scanner and you'll find something lol

[random prism]

There are a lotta cheap Kodak ones that use a phone

[glad juniper]

Just keep in mind it probably won't be plug and play and you'll need drivers and software to run it

Yeah but then your limited to phone resolution

[random prism]

Yeah

Drivers and shit are no problem

[glad juniper]

That's my scanner

[random prism]

I'm fairly sure 20% of my computer storage is drivers 💀

[glad juniper]

only 22 mp but 135mb tiff output

[random prism]

Lmao

I still need to finish shooting a roll before I even think about developing shit

Also did I get totally scammed for 65$?

[glad juniper]

Nah not for a complete kit

75 for the body would be a bit much

And it'll teach you the basics of film and thats the important part

[random prism]

I paid 75 in total with a roll of ultramax

[glad juniper]

Yeah thats about right

shoulda bought a nikon tho

[random prism]

they didn't have a Nikon

Ok maybe they did

[glad juniper]

Yeah you failed lmao

How much was the F?

[random prism]

220$ I think

[glad juniper]

Hmmmmmm

That's a bit much

[random prism]

It did come with the lens I think

[glad juniper]

But the ELF drives those prices lmao

I've been meaning to get an F for a while now

[random prism]

Also Eugene is trendy hippy town so everyone is trying to buy film cameras now

[glad juniper]

Based

Shame your prices are fucked now

But based

[random prism]

Yeah 😭

Sadly 0 camera shops in southern Oregon

[glad juniper]

It means you'll actually have local places stock film

[random prism]

I paid 12$ for ultramax

Porta 400 was 18$

[glad juniper]

Oooo that's cheap

[random prism]

maybe i shoulda gotten a 2nd roll

they were almost out and the guy said they run out pretty fast

[glad juniper]

Locally portra 4 is 21

[random prism]

oof

[glad juniper]

Eh I don't shoot it so I don't buy it lol

[random prism]

lol

idk anything about film yet

all ik is ultramax is best for beginners

[glad juniper]

Its a good stock that's for sure

Cheapish too

Or can be

My local Walgreens stocks um400 on occasion for 7.99 a roll

[random prism]

Kaden's Wallet: 📉 📉 📉

[glad juniper]

Vs my local camera shop stocks it for 15

[random prism]

supporting mega chains >>> Local camera shop

[glad juniper]

Yeahhhhh well mikes still gets my money at the end of the day lmao

They do my dev

[random prism]

fair

i dont trust walmart with my film

[glad juniper]

I definitely don't

[dawn turret]

@fallen schooner let's continue here

[fallen schooner]

@dawn turret What lens do you with it?

[dawn turret]

200-600

[fallen schooner]

I can only afford to get a 70-300mm atm

Are the file sizes large considering the megapixels??

[dawn turret]

yeah it's pretty large considering I'm on my third hard drive already

[fallen schooner]

how long have you had the camera for to get that many?

[dawn turret]

had it for over a year already

[random prism]

If it's the canon 70-300 I highly recommend it, and if you have an ASPC camera it's equivalent to 480mm while still maintaining amazing quality, it's the current lens I use

[lucid aurora]

i

cant

afford

70-300

yet

[random prism]

Get usedddd

Mine was 360

[naive scarab]

i found my dads film camera and went and bought some film, any tips for shooting film

[quasi summit]

New camera 2 lenses 18-55mm and 75-300mm

[ionic orbit]

Nice

[glad juniper]

depends, what camera and what stock are you shooting

[naive scarab]

camera is a nikon f65 and stock is some fuji colour 400

[glad juniper]

fantastic plastic

i don't really have many tips for shooting color tbh

just shoot it like normal really

the fuji stock has a bit of a green cast to it but that can mostly be fixed while scanning

the dynamic range will be much different from digital but really its mostly the same

lotta grain in the shadows, and your highlights will be blown out

[naive scarab]

alright

[glad juniper]

just shoot it like normal and you'll be fine

[naive scarab]

yep, thank you

[quasi summit]

Going to Heathrow with it tomorrow

i have no idea why it sounds like that, maybe cuz its in a case but idk

[lunar barn]

I shoot using raw and 6000x4000 but is there any way to make my resolution higher when I take photos? It’s a 24MP camera yet photos like this are only 14mp

[glad juniper]

nope

when you crop and export as jpg it can only save so many values

if you want a "higher resolution" file don't export as a jpg

export as a tiff or png

[naive scarab]

im wondering if i wasted my money buying this for 40$

[glad juniper]

I mean you kinda did since you bought a Canon

But 40 bucks for a body and lens is a reasonable deal

[spare fractal]

i Don'''t Love This Picuture!!! 11 😭 how makke it bettr??// /s

[gilded hound]

This image was rejected from planespotters.net due to bad light which was odd, It said part of the plane was light but part wasn’t how do I edit this to get it accepted

I’m on Adobe light room btw

It said something about the sun btw

[glad juniper]

Psnet has some rule about "direct sun on plane" or whatever

And no there's nothing you can do about it

[spare fractal]

That’s kinda stupid

[woven hawk]

what camera and lens should i get for planespotting at around 1200aud? right now im looking at a nikon z50 with 50-250mm lens and was wondering if that is good

[glad juniper]

thats what, 800 freedom bucks ish?

lets see

are you opposed to buying used

[random prism]

No no

Nikon boo

Canon yay

Jk jk

But depending on the spotting go for at least 300 mm

Idk much for Nikon that's Maus's job, but Ik canom

[gilded hound]

What website doesn’t have that

And would it be accepted on another site

Jet photos even?

[gilded hound]

True

Is this Jetphotos acceptable

[random prism]

over sharpened and blurry

[gilded hound]

It’s a panning shot tho

Background has to be blurred
