IS IT THE AF? TECHNOLOGY? BUILD QUALITY? PRICE? MARKETING? TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH IT?

Disregarding how much of an echo chamber this hobby as far as never knowing where a claim truly originates, I do wonder if part of the reason people associate CCD sensors with "the film look" is not for any specific quality of CCD sensors as a technology but rather because most of the film photos to end up online for a decent while were run through some ancient Nikon/Minolta film negative scanner (with 8-bit color in extreme cases) and their flavor of color science and highlights started to be associated with the film medium itself rather than the scanners.

I have been studying alot of ancient history, specifically ancient astronomy.
I am now certain that all world events can be predicted from studying the skies.
Anybody here using telescopes to photograph comets? I am looking for roughly what I need, and examples of what you guys are getting with your gear?
I really need to be able to see and photograph comets and meteors in space.

I finally understand landscape photographers pain, 2 months of constant landscape photo uploads then I upload 1 photo to my art nude project and it gets more engagement than all 40 of the landscape photos I uploaded combined.

It doesn’t help there is only so many landscape locations where you live then you are out of content.

Also landscape thread, what are you shooting? What is working, what isn’t?

Does anyone own an old English-language Lumix DMC-LX5 (or 3 or 7) and would be willing to help dump a copy of the ROM using the service menu? I can provide instructions if so (it writes a ~23kb text file to the SD card). I'm trying to change my Japanese-only model to English (has no language setting in the menu), I found instructions for other Lumix series but not the LX ones.

e.g. https://www.microfournerds.com/blog/lumix-japanese-to-english

The feature can be accessed in the LX5 by holding Up and Record (red button) simultaneously while turning the camera on, then inside the wrench menu is the ROM BACKUP option, DSC>SD will write a LX5U.TXT file to the SD card containing the dump. The instructions involved searching for certain byte patterns (0000,0000,270f,6363,270f,6363) and changing one before rewriting the backup to the camera, but the order of bytes on mine is different and I don't want to risk taking a blind stab at it until I can compare to an actual english dump.

I think it looks awful, personally.

Should've used a DJI Pocket 3.

I got a Lomo LC-Wide.
It is an auto-exposure camera, min f4.5, with a flash shoe.
I have control over the ISO setting.

How do i use flash?
Suppose i have a ISO100 film. Would i set the camera to ISO200 (underexpose by 1) and set my automatic flash to ISO200 also, and hope that the flash + the autoexposure will combine 1:1 to get an ISO100 exposure?
