I see a pattern. One of making the world increasingly drab to demoralize the people. Look up their early lives.

Welcome to /m43/general!

m43 sisters, we are known to be adventurers at heart. While Wormfags and Snoybois debate mtf charts and x-trans rights, we go out and explore the world around us. Capturing its beauty within m43's infinite depth of field.

In this edition: I am back to m43. I've sold my huge bulky Nikon Zf after realizing that I'm way too feminine to lug around such a huge piece of Japanese technology and I got meself a brand new OM5 Mk. II.

I also got a GX9 to live out my closeted homesexual street photography urges. Picrelated is my sane financial choices in one picture. Enjoy!

Spent two hours at the local book market today. Reached the place a little while before sunset, pushed through my anxiety and tried my hand at taking some photographs.

Feel free to post any pictures you /p/ros took at any book fair or local market in your area.

What is the future of photography /p
If you were starting today what would you buy?
Will stand alone cameras start needing more technological integrated features?
Will cameras push harder for realism and imbedded certificates to show its a real photo or will cameras start integrating inbuilt editing features to add in skies on blown photos etc?
Will standalone cameras start adding features to make short form video?
I’m just worried buying today the world of photography is about to go through its most drastic change in its entire existence and this will occur over the next 10 years
Thoughts?

I would like a small, retro style camera for hobbyist / snap shitting type photography. Image quality is important to me, but not the end all, be all. I do not want a full frame type camera such as the ZF. I already have a D850, and actually owned a ZF for several months, before getting rid of it as the lack of grip and overall hugeness made it very unfun to walk around and shoot with. Between the OM-5 and some Fuji cam, which is the best choice?

Random photos you took at night

Haven't posted in a couple of months but got a few rolls developed recently and I'm slowly going through scanning them.

Exif: Leica M3 + Nokton 50mm f.1.5 + Vision3 250D (for the first seven ones), then Aerocolor IV for the remaining four.
