How do we save photography and ourselves bros? Media has gone completely schizo and there is no way one single image of literally anything, not even hardcore porn can compete with what short form video has done to 99% of people's brains. The output of our hobby is decimated because of over-stimulation and information overload.

Is there anything that can be done? Do we have to all get into video ASAP and accept that stills are dead? Do we start writing on blogs again like it was 2012 to go with our photos? Walling off into Flickr did not work as that platform is even more dead than Instagram. We have some of the most realistic, smartest autists online on 4chan, I am sure we can come up with a logical practical solution.

>just shoot for yourself

No, this is just cope. We all know it.

What is the cheapest leica M mount camera?

I've realized that there is no perfect camera for me, after about a week of comparing camera systems, I found that there is always something lacking which is a major feature I want. So I have decided that I should just be happy with what I have. The question then becomes; how do I simply accept and be happy with the camera gear that I already own? I've realized buying gear is an endless cycle of fulfillment

I'm new to this. I like the lighting in this photo, but I have no idea how to post process this to take it from mediocre to great. Any input is greatly appreciated, even if you just want to hop in the thread and call me a fag.

Earlier today Fujifilm announced its first dedicated camera for filmmakers, the Fujinon GFX Eterna. RIP SNOY and Canikon

Buying used lenses.

I've been a bit hesitant lately with buying used, older lenses that would still work great for even mirrorless.

Issue is, people tend to take good care of their gear and not scuff it up, but internally, it might have lots of use,how do I know if a focus motor or something is still in good condition?
