The first known photograph of a little girl

Every photography Youtuber I come across seems to follow the same template:

>wears a fisherman beanie
>dressed in either boring vintage clothes or hiking gear in the inner city
>no personality beyond street nonsense and gear faggotry

Unironically where do they make all these guys? It's like a virus

I'm thinking about buying an EM5ii and dipping my toe into mtf. It they aren't super expensive and apparently this body is much better built than the following em5's, with a metal body instead of plastic. I like it's size and form factor as something I'd take out instead of my film camera in case of inclement weather or for longer trips where I don't want to worry about running out of film or sending film through the xray scanners.

I'm trusting you mtf faggots, if this is a horrible experience I'm going to be REALLY MAD about it.

obivously you shove in the adapter on and theres many vids of that online , but how do you meter properly? I realized recently that pk era film lenses and their respective bodies have a little turning pin that pokes out. When the aperture turns, it turns the pin to help give the aperture number to the body to help correctly meter. I mean sure, you can press the m42 lenses button that stops down the aperture, but i still dont get how will help the light meter if it is not being directly told the aperture number in the body. Unless the adapter turns the pin all the way open for metering , and you simply stop down to your aperture to get a readout , but i still dont get how this would work because wouldnt the pin on the camera body detemine change in metering when the aperture is changed?
I cant tell if im being a whiny ass bitch and overthinking it and it will be fine when i get an adapter or if i will need to buy an external light meter for my camera.

TLDR: worried metering wont work properly on pk bodies when using the m42 adapter , and that i will need to buy an external one. Will i need to buy an external meter or what? If it helps the camera bodies i own that are pk are a ricoh kr5 and a pentax p30.

Why hasn't /p/ had any successful memes in years?

Zoom function should be removed from all consumer compact cameras and phones. Especially from anything related to video.
You get your zooming rights when you know what the fuck you're doing.

I shot my first few rolls on an old Pentax ME my mom gave me years ago. I have little photographic experience other than messing around with a DSLR after reading "Understanding Exposure" and getting decent results.

Was looking for some criticism, constructive or otherwise. Some things I'm noticing is that I'm having a hard time gauging exposure even though there is a built in light meter, is it better to slightly underexpose? It seems no matter what I try it comes out overexposed. I also seem to have a lot of blur - the focus seems bang-on in the viewfinder but it has an auto shutter speed which may be too low for how steady my hands are. It may be time to buy a better SLR. Unless you have an idea on how to make this camera work.

Posting the bad and the good. Let me have it.

>Why does almost every photographer feel the need to edit their photos in photoshop?
>Why are edited the photos the default now in every facet of life?

I do not understand this, 5k cameras that are supposedly the best ever and yet the pics get such heavy editing in various softwares.

Kinda dabbling in the idea of selling my D700 and its lenses and moving over to an Oly E-M1 MK2 or E-M1X with the 12-40 and 40-150 2.8 simply because I wanna try something new.
What's stopping me however is I don't know how the market looks right now. I've seen that DSLR's are on the uptick, especially older ones and M43 seems basically forgotten at this point. Should I sell now or should I wait a year or so?

Going to post 12 or so rolls worth of snaps from the past few months. Assortment of Foma 100, Kodak XX, and Ilford FP4. All pushed 2-3 stops because crushed shadows are great.
