>>3202144Starting to realize this now:
>Be poorfag in uni with entry level DSLR.>Interested in architecture and urban landscapes.>Learn about street photography.>Feel like an awkward paparazzi whenever using a DSLR in public. >Lust for a rangefinder setup. Decided to save up for one as a graduation present.>Spend more time gearfagging online and less time using the gear I already have.>Finish uni. Finally get a Bessa R4M with a Zeiss 25mm and 35mm.>endgame_setup.jpg>Gearfags online told me how good rangefinders are for urban photography, they must be right.>Parallax error triggers my autism.>Prefer composing with a DSLR.>Learn about tilt-shift lenses for DSLR. Too expensive.>Get a 4x5 field camera instead.>Use a 4x5 in public. Either no one cares about I am doing or they WANT their photo taken.>Security don't care when I take photos of facades. Sometimes make small talk with them while I take photos.>Feel so much more joy with being slow and deliberate with photography>Recently bought a 120 back for the 4x5 so I can use it more economically for casual shots.>Start to realize that I should've settle for a cheaper rangefinder, such as Yashica Electro 35 GSM to scratch that itch for rangefinders.>Use the 4x5 more often, while the rangefinder setup I have been lusting over for long gets used less and less.>Thinking about selling the rangefinder setup, but sunk too much time and money into it.>feelsbadman.jpg
