hello anons
I'm looking at getting a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II, mostly for portraits and street photog
the question is, does medium format actually appreciably do anything. I've been shooting digishit and 35mm for a while, I find that my 35mm shots have a WAY higher proportion of "keepers" since I'm slowing myself down to compose shots, and the film just looks spectacularly better
My issue is that I have no idea how to meter on my own, and have no idea how metering works. Would getting a meter alongside the RZ appreciably improve my ability? eventually I'd take the training wheels off and try to meter just with my eyes and brain.
I understand that I'm basically just wasting money on a hobby, but I'm genuinely starting to enjoy the film process and forcing myself to slow down.
>>4281142you didn't just grade
the bokeh in the non-originals has had all of the trxture removed from it, and it looks like you aggressively over-sharpened in the "purple" one.
her eyes are visibly masked in the purple one, and the eye reflections in both are either chromab'd or oversaturated
you didn't color grade, you filtered
>>4279803get a used D3
most of the used prosumers have barely been shot
>>4279504no, but a weird little thing that I've found is that if you're shooting infrared, some of the lenses that unacceptably "hotspot" on FF will give you nice vignette when used on a DX/APS-C body
>>4279966as someone who actually does this, get the peak design capture camera clip and put it on the shoulder strap of a camelbak or backpack, up near your collarbone. it's secure as fuck, doubles as an arca/swiss adapter, and putting it up near your clavicle means it doesn't get banged around by your legs, won't slap against your bike, and is moderately protected if you fall off.

at her age, it's about the process and the challenge of learning something
