I don't think there is anything wrong with seeing the great shots people post in this thread and being excited about the format as a result; it just can come off as gear worship to an extent or some manner of assertion that the quality of the photos seen are due to the gear and not the person behind the lens.

somnambulist posted:Wasn't sure where to post this-- What is it that you're unhappy with from the 5dsr? I could see the low light performance being poor at 50mp due to the size of the sensor pixels or w/e but that's more what you sacrifice to get a sensor with that resolution. I would assume also the lens ecosystem for that X1D is ludicrous in it's cost.

Those are very filmic for sure. Really like it. Although I think the horizon may be off on the second one. E: anyone know A Guy who repairs Pentax 67s? My shutter isn't actuating reliably at speeds faster than 1/250. There is a local repair guy here in Vancouver but he doesn't have parts. So I guess I'm looking for a (differently) broken 67 as well.

I'd just open the back , make sure the back swings fully open and then close it again, wind it again as this will reset the counter, and go from there accepting that you're going to lose 2-4 shots. I'm not sure why the lever would stop there.

I've never been as deeply in a rut as sludge describes but when I notice I haven't been out shooting for a month or so I try to give myself some kind of project or constraint to give purpose to the shooting itself. Sometimes I look at other people's photos (I basically only favorite things on flickr for this reason) that I like and think about why I like them and get motivated to produce content, or I tell myself I'm going to put my gear in the car and drive to ____ and try to keep my eyes open for a good shot. There's no reason to force yourself to shoot or to feel bad about not shooting. The equipment will be there when you're ready to dive back in and in the meantime maybe you could look for a good book to get into, new musical artist, etc.

I tripod my 67 because it only adds like 20% to the overall weight I'm carrying and I don't shoot higher than 400 ISO.

SMERSH Mouth posted:I was out and about with an RB67 today. Definitely shot a lot at 1/60, and wasn't carrying a tripod. The mirror feels very well-dampened, but I was using MLU and a cable release threaded around the left-hand grip anyway because it's easy enough. Even though the RB is an unwieldy brick (although less so with the older 90/3.8), it feels like steady hands could probably take the shutter speed down to 1/30 handheld and not induce too much vibration. The leaf shutter is like a whisper. The P67 is a really unergonomic camera, ironically it's worse with the grip since that's the side you're focusing/adjusting shutter speed with so you can never really use it. The base of the camera is full of square edges and it's heavy obviously. The eye-level prisms on the 67 are super heavy because glass etc.

I feel honestly like it's just a matter of someone deciding that you're good enough (or you working hard enough to get your art out there) and using connections and networking for someone to become a ~professional artist~ in most visual mediums. I've seen loads of garbage art from professionals and lots of stuff from amateurs that I would suggest would be more acclaimed by people had they not already bought into the professional's work because people have told them that this is a professional artist look at what they've done here. You see this in literature quite a bit - once someone is published or has a few great pieces of work out there it's like they get put on infallible creative tenure and all new work is appreciated on the basis of the writing which drove them to success.

If the shutter speed adjustment was on the right I'd agree but you have to take your hand off the grip to adjust this on the left side. I basically shoot with a tripod no matter what anyways.

Paul MaudDib posted:Yeah, the trick is you just shoot "shutter priority". You set it to something reasonable for your lens (bearing in mind that things can get funky below 1/60th), and you carry it around like that. Then when you see a shot you just zero the meter using the aperture, or if your scene isn't at neutral grey overall (for an averaging meter) you tweak the exposure comp or just aim the meter a little above or below neutral. Eh I use the aperture for ~creative control~ of the image. Like I said a tripod solves all these issues. I do love the camera and I'm not complaining about it. I wear the largest stocked size gloves at my work so I don't think it's a hand size thing. I'll usually frame and set aperture depending on what DoF I want, then dial in the shutter speed.

Paul MaudDib posted:If you can't look at a scene and have some conceptual idea of what aperture you might like to shoot that scene at, maybe you aren't ready to shoot medium format yet. Full disclosure: it's a buck a frame, developed cost. Not really sure what you're talking about? Nobody is saying it's hard to use. All I'm saying is that I agree with the popular opinion that the handle isn't that great. I know how to use a camera thanks. I dunno if you aren't reading my posts or if your dad worked on the assembly line making Pentax 67 handles and so you're incensed by my assertion that it should be on the other side with a shutter release built in.

Choicecut posted:Well, I hope I did good. I just bought a late model Pentax 67 with the later 105mm 2.8 for $650 bucks. I was really on the fence for a 67 or a C330, but lust finally won over. I will be broke after I buy some Portra 400 and black & white off Amazon, so I'll have to hold off on getting a light meter. Guess it's sunny 16 for awhile or lug around an extra camera. So worried It's gonna get here and be a pile of junk or need all kinds of work right off the bat: You can get metering prisms for these, and you should.

It runs a couple of miles through a built-up CBD, in a cut that's 15-20' below street level in some places. Also want to do some interior shots of high-rise lobbies in the same area. This looks a lot like the inside of a military base.

sildargod posted:Our wedding season is starting to pick up a little and I'd like to get a medium format setup to complement my kit. To be honest yes that's way too expensive for a camera which is almost certainly broken - why else would the seller include that disclosure? My 67 repair for what it's worth cost me $350 although that included replacement of some electrical components. Make sure when you're buying a 67 that it has MLU, and make sure it has some kind of warranty. I take it you're shooting the 67 in addition to some DSLRs but it'd still be nice to not worry about it being broken when you're doing weddings.

sildargod posted:That's what I'd figured. It will be in combination with my fuji kit, I'm too dumb a photographer to risk taking on a wedding with only film! They're completely different cameras with completely different styles of shooting (P67 is basically a large SLR in terms of handholding/tripod level, while you'd be shooting the rb67 at waist level) so you might not find it very indicative of a p67 experience to try the rb67. Why not pick up a from-Japan P67 with MLU on ebay with warranty? I did and I have been very happy with it. My repair was only made necessary by the fact I took it out in the rain like a moron.
