Gear discussion thread v. "I got some new gear and I got to post it here" - General

Yeah they wouldn't work on the EOS 500. If you are interested in mainly adapting lenses (I would just recommend using them on the native camera system, they will work the best that way) then consider Pentax K1000 (K lenses), Pentax Spotmatic (m42 lenses), Olympus Om10 (OM lenses), and some sort of Nikon system (F lenses). Those will all be adaptable (as will Leica R and Contax but those are super pricey), but you will have to focus without a split prism and by using stopped down metering so it's not too convenient. Nothing beats a native lens for usability.

I don't get how you guys can happily shoot 200 film. I find it too restricting

i'd happily shoot ektar 25 if it still existed

poundland film is the greatest thing on earth, as far as cost-quality ratio goes it is stellar

[QUOTE=krten_2x 4b;44618000]I don't get how you guys can happily shoot 200 film. I find it too restricting[/QUOTE] Mate it's 4.2p (7c) an exposure.

i like a good bit of fuji superia 200 when the weather's nice

what;s so restricting about 200 film

maybe its the brand i'm using but its never bright enough for it come out well. I'll try some poundland rolls if i ever find any [editline]23rd April 2014[/editline] oh yeah the light meter on my Canon RM does work so thats good.

i have posted this a couple of times but what the hell. Im studying audiovisual directing and im making a film through the procress, thing is, i dont own a camera yet, and i have to shoot at night, mostly. i have been looking at some cameras, i saw these two [url]http://www.canon.cl/canon/estore/ficha.php?pro_id=2468[/url] [url]http://www.canon.cl/canon/estore/ficha.php?pro_id=3203[/url] more inclined to the 6d, but an uncle told me this one should be the one i should look for [url]http://www.canon.cl/canon/html/general/ficha.php?pro_id=3050[/url] what do you guys think?

The XF100 is a pretty good all in one solution but a DSLR will result in a more pleasing visual look. If you can, you should go with a 5D MK3 though if you choose a DSLR. From all the canon dslrs you could consider it a GenII Video-DSLR as it got a much better videomode than the other ones.

If i had to choose between the 6d and the 70d, what would you say?

[QUOTE=autodesknoob;44622764]id like to but the 5d mk3 is too expensive for me. If i had to choose between the 6d and the 70d, what would you say?[/QUOTE] The 6d. Fullframe and the sensor is a bit better in low light.

[QUOTE=Dominik93;44622794]The 6d. Fullframe and the sensor is a bit better in low light.[/QUOTE] Thanks. Went ahead and saw some reviews, video footage and everything. I think i will go with the 6d.

[thumb]http://puu.sh/8kjOB.jpg[/thumb] I can't believe it's 2014 and there are people who haven't switched to this system yet

[QUOTE=autodesknoob;44622972]Thanks. Went ahead and saw some reviews, video footage and everything.

I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on this Lytro's Illum camera. [url]http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/22/5625264/lytro-changed-photography-meet-the-new-illum-camera[/url]

xf100/xf105 is useless in low light [editline]23rd April 2014[/editline] why don't you instead of buying cameras spend the money on hiring lights?

got a 70-200 [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/w2VIqewl.jpg[/IMG] it's waaaay bigger than I expected it to be, photo's don't do it justice at all. I think it's the white that makes it seem really big also really heavy not sure if I regret this already or not, will have to wait and find out I guess

[QUOTE=autodesknoob;44626224]i dont know. the idea of inviting people to shoot with only lights and no camera seems just a little bit weird.[/QUOTE] totally missing the point, cool. you say you're starting a course? surely they don't expect you to own a camera?

[url]http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/22/5625264/lytro-changed-photography-meet-the-new-illum-camera[/url][/QUOTE] Better than their first attempt certainly but the concept is still so software limited and I can't see the point tbh

Im pretty sure panny will release a better lytro type camera some time soon

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;44626278]totally missing the point, cool. you say you're starting a course? surely they don't expect you to own a camera?[/QUOTE] nono sorry i must have said it wrong. Audiovisual directing is a career, on uni. I need an instrument to work with. I cant be asking for help all the time, thats why i need my own.

you will need lights. budget for it.
