I forgot what its called, but a video I saw had some sort white lines going over the objects in focus. Can't locate it on my camera, but I've only tried for 15min. :biggrin:

The Zebra pattern perhaps? That helps to get the correct exposure and is mostly used for video iirc to not get clipped highlights.

You really just want to use the focus peaking. Trust me

Turn that on and you'll get used to manual focusing quick.

i can second that. it works like a charm on my body too. quick and easy if you get the feel of it. not ideal for moving subjects, but static stuff like buildings, landscapes are easy to shoot with focus peaking.

holy cow, that's some incredible work.

i asked the viltrox support, this is their webshop. they sell good quality 3rd party lenses for multiple mounts, some of them are available from a eu warehouse, so no customs or vat will be charged.

@s4tch

turned out great, like a proper relic

on an other note, i'm reading positive reviews on the tamron 18-300. i usually avoid lenses with such a range, optically they are always compromised, but this one might hit a sweet spot these were posted in a local fb group:

 

[DAiDEViL]

Seems to be good optically, true I read that too.

Are you looking for one?

I'm just so impressed by my 70-300 though. Mostly with how stable it is, the super quick focus, and how sharp it is at 300mm.

But sure, it lacks the classic 18-55 ish range for a true allrounder.

Maybe give it a go, or rent one if you can

About the XE1, sure it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I honestly like how it turned out

Currently scanning some old pictures from family albums, came across that one

@s4tch you audio nerd. What headphones am I wearing, help me out

 

[s4tch]

too cute vintage headphones is a very deep rabbit hole i always avoided though. might be an intersound, regina, echo, whatever. many old headphones had sliders like that, mostly for volume or tone control.

I am probably the worst photographer ever. Not only the pictures I take turn out to be mediocre, I barely pick my phone up to take a snap. But today

That's quite a nice shot

no aperture ring, plastic bodies.

those have to be excellent AND very cheap to make sense.

Yep, no way I'd get one of those Sigma lenses over the Viltrox or the Fuji lenses.

...Had they brought a 18-55 2.8 to the table though...

I'm thinking the framing isn't good but I still like it.
