I'm gonna attend a wedding on saturday and i want to shoot some film. It's an african wedding, so there will be loads of bright colors and warm hues. I shoot with a Point and shoot camera (pentax iqzoom), but i own a SLR (Nikon fg 20). I have never shot with an slr camera, and i have no clue how they work. But i reckon the pictures look better on an slr. I have two dilemmas at hand
>I don't know which film stock is good for capturing warm hues
>I don't know if i should try out the slr camera (or if i should play it safe)

i want to capture something reminiscent of picrel

>I think it will be pretty well lit inside,
NTA. Don't be fooled. Even pretty heavy indoor lighting is nowhere near the LV of the outdoors.
Indoors with film I'm normally pushing HP5 to 800 at minimum and realistically to 1600 (but I think it looks kind shit pushed two stops).
At 800 ISO I'm only just in a "safe" shutter speed range to avoid camera shake and I need to ask people to stay still for photos indoors.

400 ISO film is absolute minimum for indoors and I'd be pushing that one stop anyway. If you're using colour film then fagghedaboudit

Portra and Lomo 800 work fine indoors, if a bit grainy. But pushing hp5 will make the grain apparent too.

I dont really like the look of kodak ultramax 400 though. It doesn't look warm, and it doesnt have that "film" look
>>4488953
I have decided to use the point anf shoot so i dont think i can make adjustments like that.

I need to finalize what kind of film I'll be using because im going to buy it later today. Ektar100 or kodak gold is what i am considering right now

Yeah, sensor size and good glass is key.

Buying a mid range DSLR from 2010 or later with a 50mm. f2.0 is a great start, especially since many people drop the hobby after a few months and sell their gear at a loss.

That's literally my exact gear, which I got as my first 'real' camera somewhat recently. I personally couldn't be happier with my choice. I love the fact that this camera comes with all of the standard pro features, as far as buttons/dials/switches go. The full-frame sensor does some insanely heavy lifting, so even though I had totally fucked up, retarded exposure settings dialed in for much of the first couple thousand photos I took, they were still almost always salvageable.

I've learned quite a bit, but I'm still painfully new and untrained; I don't know for sure if I'm basically on the same level as some retarded soccer mom who gives the camera 5 stars on Amazon because it takes "the best pictures ever", but this definitely seems like a great first camera if you know you're interested in photography and you're capable of growing into it.

It was between this R6 mkii, or an R8 for me. If you have the money to spend, I feel like they're both fantastic choices. Between these two, if you have a smaller budget or aren't totally sure you're into photography, the R8 is great. If you know for sure you're interested in photography, the R6 mkii seems like pretty unbeatable bang for buck that you can grow into for years to come.

If it's like $20 yes, otherwise no.

Also, sort ebay listings by 'for parts'. A lot of cameras listed as broken aren't actually broken and are just missing a battery or something. Hypesters trying to buy digishits aren't smart or brave enough to buy the sketchy ones.

Get 28mm vision in your mind.
It usually can be acquired by getting closer to subject and observing the environment before shootong.

Wide angles are difficult because our vision is usually much narrower.

But some dudes mentioned about
>muh zooming with your feet
It's a meme. If you make a change in the distance between camera and the subject, you will get different result. It just doesnt work.
On this matter, i recommend to think of composition based on the distance between you and the subject, rather than focal lengh of your lens and the subject.

This is a large part of why fujifags say editing takes hours. For them, it does. Also, xtrans raws load and reload as previews far slower than any other format. I opened an anons x100vi .rafs in c1 and holy shit my computer blows through d850 .NEFs but that shit lagged hard

update i regret selling my kf for $380 (ended up getting $320)

whoever said you're better off keeping it was right the k1 is a fucking chore to bring sometimes

bought this k-70 with a broken screen for $105 + getting a ks2 screen off aliexpress for $40, could be aperture solenoid issues (i have a busted 35mm z1p with a mirror that sticks up i can salvage a white solenoid off of) either way its not a horrible job, hoping its the display or something free like they didn't hit the display button

>the LCD screen appears cracked and nothing is displayed

k-70s sell for $300 on avg in america and japan. cheapest i bidded was $170 for one.

also picked up a 50mm f1.4 fa, the 50mm f1.7 f was a great lens but i really wanna try a big fast lens for night photos. they usually go for $80 in japan and $100-140 in usa.

>>4486085

forgot to mention from doing research k1 vs k70 is one stop apart on dynamic range at every iso above 400

>>4486530

pentax af sucks for spur of the moment shots like when youre on vacation and wanna take a quick shot and keep it moving, lots of misses if you have ANY movement

that said im gonna try to pick up a pentax-a 28mm f2.8 or a 35mm f2 hd as my next prime; end of year i wanna try a 55-300mm plm ($200) or a 43mm limited ($400) and im done buying pentax lenses

>im a collector atp
this is what I realised when I bought a couple Pentax lenses and I didn't throw away any of the original packaging and I was deadset distraught when I scratched the lens hood on the macro lens I bought. It really fucked me up. I spent the last few months getting so into gear that I became a collector without even realising, emotionally invested in the mint condition of my gear, buying lenses I didn't need to "complete" my collection. Yeah, thank god Amazon's returns policy is ever in my favour. It's fucking unethical that I can return lenses that I used and get full money back. Anyway, I'll leave a report in this thread sliding off the arse end of the catalog:
>HD Pentax DA 21mm f/3.2 Limited
Beautiful construction, exquisite even, and so small. The image quality is so high contrast from Pentax HD lenses in general. I'm not sure if it is to my taste. It displays a modest amount of barrel distortion which I find kinda bothersome as a severely autistic person who needs things done in a certain way; I like optical corrections, couldn't tell you why.
>HD Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited
Again, very sexy looking lens. Much better geometry from this lens but the field of view is a bit tight for walking around town? It'll leave you constantly backing up to get the composition you want which is inconvenient if there's a fence, a wall or a road behind you. Still, it's a lens that works for street photography because it's so fucking compact and a little tight on the FOV to keep you out of the action. The screw-on lens cap was sexy, too.
>HD Pentax D-FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Yeah, it's a bokeh beast or whatever but what the fuck is the point of using a macro lens on a Pentax DSLR? Just the slightest bit of wind means that branch is outta focus and continuous autofocus only works until the AF point hits a low-contrast area, then the camera will rack the lens back and forth through the entire zoom range multiple times to no avail.
