This is why I stopped using expensive cameras

I was at a furry convention and some fucker tried to snatch my ZF (he had a gay little bitchmade knife and was trying to cut through the strap). I called him a zoophile and got away while he started trying to explain that just because he likes dog dicks, dog snouts, dog paws, dog tails, and dog fur does not mean he is a zoophile

I havent started editing photos until recently but how come applying the same color balance on different photos in post can make the images look completely different in terms of white balance? For instance, something like 5600 will look ok on one photo but then on another it's like i have a fucking mexico filter on it. Is there a way to make things look more consistent and why is there such a big discrepancy?

white balance is a compensation for the color of light the physical scene was shot under, which can be different photo to photo
actual light temp/color isn't the full story either, because you can have indirect lighting, which may be bouncing off something that changes its color

Cause the built in denoise in c1 is absolute dogshit, and c1 doesn't play well at all with dxo pureraw (it fucks the ev and colors up) and these c1 cunts straight up don't want to bother fixing the dng issue

tl;dr: courier (bitch) slamdunked my 60mm olympus macro on the floor and called it a successful delivery (zero packing material, just the retail box in a slightly bigger box, international shipping center probably repackaged it)
how can i tell if it's broken? doesn't look like there's any external damage but i have a hunch lenses are more fragile on the inside than the outside

To conclude this post; I followed canon namefag's recommendation to buy a 6D and whatever lens that is (>>4445610).
I bought it from MPB and it was pretty fucked up, so I'm probably swapping it for a nicer one.
But the quality of the images is great, I don't know what you retards were on about comparing it to a phone.

Picrel is the first photo I took with it that isn't my living room, and it is 1000x better than my phone.
Feel free to say it's out of focus and under- or over exposed, idk, but I'm satisfied with it, for <€500.

What do you call a small metal piece that basically consists of two rounded nail heads? And can I still get decent quality ones today?

It's used to connect leather straps to older cameras, binoculars or the likes.

No, not exactly. A double headed river would maybe work, but it would squeeze the leather. Plus the strap has two "key holes" that attaches to the metal piece - this makes it removeable. Chicago bolts could also work, but it's not the real thing and I want to keep it as original/authentic as possible.

They make strap rivets and they're of a length that when completely tightened down they won't crush the leather, the downside is that one side will have a slot in it.

Not quite /p/, but at the same time is. Wasn't sure about asking here, the film thread since they encounter older gear more, or venturing over to /diy/.

I picked up a Yashica 635. Camera is in great shape, case not so much. (so the case arguably did its job at protecting the camera.)

Anything I can do about the case? I'm not expecting a full restoration without professional intervention. But is there something I can do so it's a bit less "crusty?"

it will look stretched going to the outer edges of the frame compared to the center when using the wider focal lengths (esp. 11mm or near) and will reflect on landscape, architecture (making small interiors look wider), portraiture (making arms or legs longer, or face gets distorted if framed near the edge).
mind the vertical lines if you're shooting architecture (indoor room or ourdoor facade) if you want them straight vertical.
if you want the face not to look distorted, shoot it in the center of the frame
if the lens has macro capability, you may shoot small objects but in a wide perspective.
just get creative with the lens.

if it was uncoated leather you could probably diy with some mink oil
but I'd recommend looking for a professional for that, doesn't look like it's really torn anywhere so might be more affordable than you'd think

I bought a cheap CPL off Amazon and put it on a 180mm telephoto. It looks like shit.
Is this just what a crappy CPL looks like, or am I using it wrong? I've never used one on such a long focal length before.
Every photo looks like it's got directional blur (oriented to the CPL)

This is probably really stupid question but - I was using Darktable 2.6 for quite long time but last time some people on /p/ told me to use newest version or switch to something else, claiming that (old) Darktable mess up colors and noise removal. But I'm honestly afraid of new one, which remove many old modules like even classic "brightness - contrast - saturation". Should I switch to new DT or use something else after all? Since I have Nikon camera, I tried their NX studio (from before they forced NikonID account) but both work much slower and don't really like it (except quite nicely working d-lighting setting). At the other hand, my old DT installation have own problems like it fails to detect my new lens, despite it being present on list and selecting lens each time manually, for every single photo, is little annoying.

Sorry for dumb question.

Let's say I have way more autism than I have light.
My shutter can only be open for so long at a time, and that isn't enough to photograph the subject at base ISO with proper exposure. I need to use ISO 1600, but this is noisy as fucking hell.

Assuming I have a tripod and the subject is stationary, how many exposures are needed to effectively get the same quality as if I shot it properly exposed at ISO 100?

How does the math work?
How many exposures do I need to stack per stop of underexposure?
Do I need something like 16 shots or is it more like 256 shots?
Will be merging RAW.

Has technology moved enough that you could now build a new 35mm film camera that has noticeably better autofocus and auto-exposure capabilities compared to the advanced cameras of the late film era? Like, could Nikon make an F7 if they wanted to.

You don't normally see dust specs showing up in the photo but they do contribute to making the photos softer. I'd be concerned about that dent as well, it's obviously had a fair knock and there's a bit that can go wrong in those telescoping lenses. Unless it's cheap and (and, not or) you can look at it first and see test shots, I'd leave it.
