Any one have any good C mount optics photos or experiences? These two cheapo optics have actually been pretty good. The CS mount, plastic body optic is surprisingly good for $12. On the wide end it has a pretty extreme vinette, on the telephoto side it actually covers a 1" sensor fine and is surprisingly sharp.

>>4414168 I may have found the winner.
Cosmicar 12.5mm F1.4.
Full coverage on a 1" sensor.
Bulid quality is top notch
Glass is substantial.
I need to grind another spacer to get infinity focus but i think we have a winner.

Cameras don't produce photos, photographers do. It's a cliche but technique and vision determine how a photograph turns out. Gear is just the limiting factor that constrains and enable the photographer. Don't listen to the gearfags. There is no graph or chart that shows one piece of gear is better than the other because it implies that things like sharpeness are universally a "better" attribute to have rather than a thing many people desire. It's based on increasing sales not necessarily enabling better images.

Left looks like an actual photo but should have been shot at f8
Same white balance. Snoy GM lenses and snoys thick sensor glass literally filter out entire colors in the name of f1.4 sharpness.

>>4419798 Sony colors are always bad unless you edit each photo individually and snoy gm/sigma art lenses produce unfixably uncanny photographs
Saying otherwise is like saying ansel adams could have used a canon demi with tri-x. It just wouldn’t work out. Anyone who disagrees is a gearcuck, a slave to their gear, not the master. Feeble snoyboys who allow their camera to decide how and what they shoot instead of square jawed chads who abuse return policies to get exactly what they demand.

>>4419798 Gear determines how far you start from your vision. You can use gear gets your image closer to the final edit in camera or gives you extra editing work at the end. Furthermore, gear can inhibit or encourage you to shoot. Gear matters and trying to claim it doesn't is ignorant. What you mean is gear won't make your photos better, which is true.

>>4419828 >micro four thirds for compact travel and street I have a mft and I can say the gap of compactness between aps-c and even FF for compactness is not that wide. Sure if you use telephoto and zoom lenses but mft bodies is not that compact and light compare to bigger sensored cameras. Especially the new ones the OM-1, OM-5 aren't.
I wish they made an EP-7 and Pen-f replacement. Also the new OM-3 is too much for $2k what are they thinking lol. Should just have made an EM10 IV replacement that is as small and light and looks like an OM-3 for less than $900. It's a good competition for the Zfc and the Zfc put Nikon back on track

>>4418999 I like them a lot. ERF window gives picture-in-picture functionality for focus or exposure checking, more precise than actual RF patch, but slower to use.
If I'm scouting a place, I can use the frame lines to preview framing with different focal lengths.
Allows for quick switch between mirrorless preview based on exposure or not.
Let's me see outside of the frame for better timing and composition.

Seems to me like EF is the only mount that has widespread adoption on all platforms, beyond that there is usually just adapters that are made for the same brand, Sony A (Minolta) to E mount, Nikon F to Z etc. Nikon does also allow for the contemporary E mount to be adapted so should in theory be able to use A mount lenses.
Anonymous
>>4419631 You can get EF, F, and K mount to E mount AF adapters.
>Nikon does also allow for the contemporary E mount to be adapted so should in theory be able to use A mount lenses. Maybe, maybe not. The different A mount adapters aren't universally compatible with all Sony bodies. They don't simply just make an A mount lens an E mount one, there must be some communication with the body and a Nikon one might not support that. It's an interesting thought though.

>>4419542 I have the PD wrist strap and neck strap, I like them and I thought they were worth the money.
>I'd also like to get a small sling bag to carry the camera when I'm not actively using, and maybe fit a small water bottle in there as well - any recs? I would also like this
Anonymous
>>4406344 I either have it in my hand for a photo or it's in a sling bag, having it on a strap looks and feels awkward. I only ever see boomers with them on straps these days, most people seem to go with a wrist cuff for when they're taking photos and then just put it away when they're done for the moment.
>>4419434 Tasmania looks like that? What the fuck, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised since there's the Otway Ranges and Yarra Ranges in Vic which look close but not quite the same.
>>4419518 Not him obviously but Tasmania has a bit of an odd thing about people that aren't from there, so you might not fit in. I know a few people that lived there and they all said the same thing. If you want a similar look, you could probably check out the far East side of Melbourne towards the Yarra Ranges, you'll also be able to go to the alpine areas and get some nice snowy photos.
