>>4270560I use eye tracking focus all the fucking time. I have shots of my friends taken in a pool hall, wide fucking open on a 50mm f1.2 stopped down just a wee bit, with them moving on the edges of the frame, and they're totally sharp. And you know what? I hand my friends my camera, and even THEY get those shots, of me! I put it in aperture priority ISO 3200 and say "Just hold down the AF ON button and watch the level, bro, dont touch the dials". Great pictures every fucking time.
Can't effortlessly pull that off with af-s, MF, or inferior af-c without a few tries (i want to live my life, not play with a camera all day) or doing some fag shit and asking people to pose. Like bro, you can whip out your phone and get the same picture (but in digital oil painting form with 6mp worth of actual detail), why shouldn't a $2000 camera be able to get the picture if I just whip it out for a second and get back to living my life? Shouldn't I be able to hand a $2000 camera to a friend and expect them to be able to get a photo of me playing pool or ski-ball or some shit? If I can't, what's the point of this shit?
>but its for REAL art! git gud! control the scene! you should be using strobes! yes, ask them to pose! prefocus and pan! film is cheap, missed shots are not, try again!Wow I didn't know we were talking hasselblads here instead of consumer 35mm journo boxes that are priced on par with iphones.
But I have a Z7 II with eye tracking focus, not an R3 :^)
