>>3999870Maybe I'm a shill but adapted lenses just don't make that much sense to me. You often get compromises in IQ, size and compatibility. Some won't let you focus to infinity. Other /p/ros will know better than me.
>>3999862What are you using it for? If you are looking for flash then HSS might be a better bet. If you want video or slowing exposure than maybe a 3 stop (sometimes called ND8) and up.
>>3999853I never could work out P mode so I just stick to A/S/M. I'm a tard and can't even work out auto ISO good enough so I just manual that too. I'll set my ISO to whatever is 'needed' (say 100-200 outdoors bright, 400-800 for mid-level and 800+ for dark/challenging). If I'm using a longer lens (100mm +) I'll add a stop or two more ISO so I can get better shutter speeds.
>>3999250No one cares. Most people will look right at you then go back to what they were doing. Homeless people sometimes bitch and moan but just keep walking. Delete a photo if someone loses their shit.
>>3999243I only exposure comp on A/S(Tv) mode. Sometimes when shooting in matrix metering in full sun the meter will over expose. Just dial down a stop or two of exposure comp. Generally in manual I spot/centreweight so it isn't too much of a necessity. I don't even know if exposure comp works in M though I think it does.
>>3999139Check out 'handpainted backdrop'. I usually see shills selling them on the local photography boards for hundreds though. Get some acrylic paint and sponges and I reckon you could make one yourself.
>>3997492Dated and cliche but Ansel Adams' trio are good: The Camera, The Negative, The Print. Great conceptual work and good at teaching the Zone system.
>>3997254Potato camera.
>>3997148Open in new tab.
>>3996901Don't know either but Z5 is fool frame so maybe that? Then again super zoom lenses are pretty meh usually. However if you're asking you probably won't care either way. I'd go the Z5 though as it seems like it might have more longevity?
