What Are You Doing Right Now? (200 Viewers)

Yeah, that's a tough one. Digital i guess? Analog ones go for really cheap (under €50) with nice lenses already attached to them, but i wouldn't wanna live without live-view anymore. Waiting to find out if your pic is actually good isn't something i really miss

The Sony alpha 5000/6000 (mirrorless) are supposed to be great for adapting old lenses, but for starters pretty much all entry level DSLR's are really good these days. Sony alpha 58 (around €250 used), Nikon 3200 (about €250 used)/3300/3400, Canon eos 1300d (under €300 used) are all good to get started and will get you great pictures if you know what you are doing.

However, I wouldn't call any of those cheap though, but you have to keep in mind you can get years, or a decade, out of them if you treat them right. I still own a Sony alpha 100 (over 10 years old i think) and it works just fine.

Don't go for compact cameras or ones with fixed lenses. Not worth the money and a dying breed imo, you can juse your smartphone camera instead and it'll do fine most of the time.

Edit: I didn't double check the prices, but they should be about accurate.

Pentacon 135 2.8 being next on my list.

Yeah, digital. So, in other words, getting a camera is expensive-ish but lenses are cheaper? Either way I see I need around 300e for something that's good.

If you are a starter you shouldn't worry about lenses just yet, the kit-lens that comes with the camera is gonna be good enough at first. If you buy a used one though, look for a camera that already comes with a prime lens (fixed focal lenght, 50mm and 35mm being the most popular). They get you better pictures than a kit zoom lens.

Lenses can be expensive too. Like Devil said, if you're interested just get a good basic kit. See if you like for more than just on occasion and if it becomes a serious hobby or a source of income, then start looking at lenses.

I have a Nikon D5100 and it has worked for pretty much everything I do.

Do you develop your own film?

Do you develop your own film?

Nah, only when there were no digital cameras around.

Awful situation to be in. You don't want to quit, because at the end you still get paid. You can't really complain too much either or the relationship with your employer will deteriorate. And you don't want to continue without doing anything, because then this will go on forever.

Damn yo, who you working for? First they tried to use you as a fall guy, now you getting paid late regularly, are you working for some third rate mafiosos?

 

[DAiDEViL]

Yeah, this isn't how you treat a white male. Something's wrong.

Turns out I'll have to modify (screw it open) my new lens to make it's aperture control work on my DSLR.

Might as well throw it into the bin already

Yeah, I'll just let it go. I'm gonna fuck off soon anyway.

I wonder how my coworkers can put up with this shit. Most of them have a family to take care of and it's not like they're making big bucks.

I bet the tax cuts will prove more than enough to cover your Costco membership.

Have any of you guys ever fapped at work?

Indeed or a new edition to my firearms collection while I still can.
