People in my school ask me for advice on what kind of cameras to get. Actually one time I was in Jessop's with friends trying to find a lens-cap for my OM10's 49mm thread (which they didn't have), and some guy I know from school walked in, talked to the sales reps for 5 minutes and then bought a D3100. Next day: Him: Hey Isaac, is the D3100 a good camera? Me: Yeah it's ok, why? Him: I bought one yesterday. Me: Yeah I saw you in Jessops, didn't you read any reviews? Him: Nope. :downs: Me: :sigh: A week later: Me: How come you've not used your camera yet? Him: Oh it's broken, I sent it back to Jessops. Me: What was wrong with it? Him: I dunno.
People buying cameras like fashion accessories. :Dawkins102:
i hate it when that happens "Me: What was wrong with it? Him: I dunno."
Theres also a load of girls in my school who have 1000d's/350d's as fashion accessories and always use it on auto. When they see my pictures they think I took it with some £1k+ camera and are shocked when I tell them I have the same camera as them.
Herp posted a new facebook album Photography: JUST GOT MY NEW CAMERA, I LOVE IT, I WILL NEVER STOP USING IT. Last updated 2009 :V
The worst is when someone makes a photography album filled with out of focus phone cam photos.
75% of photography albums on my wall are "lol cam edited"
Actually I did see a photo album from a girl I know, she took some nice photos but the problem was the camera was her phone I think. So they came out pretty bad. But if she had a better camera some of them would be quite good.

It's a canon, though. :smug: me: :sigh: what about the 5D mk II? them: it's not a rebel though me: but it's a canon them: well [i]I[/i] haven't heard of it. probably isn't any good me: :crossarms: them: whatever, idiot. she walked away and my friend and I both did this behind her back because we're mature. :mario:[/QUOTE] welcome to iceland
Please. Stop. Now. Before this happens to me and I end up short of a shovel the next day :\
"what camera is dat kelvin?" *NIKON MASTERRRRRRRRR RACE!* /everyone bows down as I go about my day. Eh, not had that happen yet, don't get asked about my camera. People just think its really expensive (at least £1000) looking camera because it won't fit in their pockets.

i almost smashed some guy the year below me. "hahaha hes getting a 550d, you're the only 1000d in the village" [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] i shouted down a corridor "JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET MY 5D" and got a load of stares [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] but he replied "YEAH, IN LIKE 10 YEARS" [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] :sigh:
Wow, you both care about what camera you have that much?

we're good friends, but he thinks hes a better photographer because he has a 550D and a big lens
It is here [IMG]http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz335/Gotnoodles/IMG_8643.jpg[/IMG] came with a snazzy case [IMG]http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz335/Gotnoodles/IMG_8647.jpg[/IMG] May shoot with this provided developing the film isn't over priced. If it is then it's going to just be part of my collection.
Rofl What a pleb
[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;29758643]we're good friends, but he thinks hes a better photographer because he has a 550D and a big lens[/QUOTE] Then explain it's the photographer, not the camera, rather than shouting basically "if I get a 5D it'll automatically make me a better photographer!"
First time me posting here on this thread (lol i'm not that active on this forum at all) I have some things to show here, because my big hobby is photography, and i shoot with both analog and digital.

I also have a Canon 110ED, most probably the best built 110 film camera after the rollei A110/E110, and it has a nice 26mm f/2.0 lens. Too bad they don't sell the 110 cartridge in stores here anymore :( (if anyone knows where to get 110 film for cheap, please tell me!) Thing i like about the 110ED is that it fits in my pocket, and it's quite special, as nobody uses such cams anymore. The first picture is a EOS IX; that's a camera that uses APS film. It's a quite nice looking camera, and really small too, but it still takes EF lenses, so using a 70-200L on it would work (yeah i tested that, because i own a 70-200 f/4L IS :) ) The other camera i use quite a lot is my trusty Canon F-1 original, which makes really nice photo's with the film i use for it ( Fuji Reala 100, Kodak Ektar 100, best colorfilm you can get, period. ) For the FD system i own a Canon F-1 Original with winder, a Canon EF and a Canon T90. Probably the best camera's you can own for the FD system. I really love the lenses for the FD system, especially my FD 85/1.2L, really a dreamlens :D Here's a pic of it (huge front element) : [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leevmeister/5558962095/"][IMG]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5558962095_f4d29a7973_z.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leevmeister/5558962095/"]Canon FD 85mm f/1.2 L[/URL] by [URL="http://www.flickr.com/people/leevmeister/"]Leevmeister[/URL], on Flickr A lot of pictures, but it's my first time posting in this thread, so better show what i use :P Pics of my digital/eos gear will be posted later.
You should really start posting more, bro. [editline]11th May 2011[/editline] Don't worry, we won't bite.
FD 85mm 1.2 dude... I'm speechless.
[QUOTE=Crhem van der B;29759449]FD 85mm 1.2 dude... I'm speechless.[/QUOTE] It's like you ripped those words right outta my mouth.
[QUOTE=Crhem van der B;29759449]FD 85mm 1.2 dude... I'm speechless.[/QUOTE] You should just see the pictures of the bokeh of this lens, it's really a gorgeous lens with real nice bokeh. I am scanning my pictures at the moment, which takes really long ( i use a Epson V750 Pro to scan them in at 6400DPI, and edit them in Adobe Lightroom). I will post some pictures taken with this lens in the film thread on this forum :-) And i have 18 rolls of films to scan (and it takes like 4 hours to scan 1 roll of film...). Also, please do check out the rest of my pictures on my flickr page, there are some other quite nice pictures on it ;)

[editline]11th May 2011[/editline] Maybe except for the Angenieux 25 - 0.95[/QUOTE] Well, the Canon 50 f/0,95 lens is a real nice lens too, also has great bokeh. A friend of mine has it, so i tested it out a couple of times, real huge lens though.. (not mentioning it's price) Although i checked out that Angenieux 25 0.95, it has real busy bokeh from some pictures i see, too bad you can't use it on a eos or any other camera other than M4/3 or NEX though, because it's a C-mount lens :(
