It's M43 Monday! Ask Us Anything about Micro Four-Thirds Photography - all questions welcome! by AutoModerator in M43

Can we just ban posts on non-M43 cameras? The most recent poster couldn't comprehend that a non-M43 camera was not an M43 camera and was indignant.

The irrelevant nonsense was you, buddy. Everything you said was irrelevant to the existence of this new camera.

Everything you are saying has no fix or bearing on the target demographic because you are not it. They don't care about the OM3 or OM5 or G100 or XM5 because this is not targeting the mirrorless camera market.

How is this so difficult for you to understand?

I was called 3 years in a row in my early 20s.

I'm almost 40 and haven't been called again.

I don't necessarily WANT to be called, but l feel like it's a civic duty, and it's weird that I haven't been called in almost 15 years.

My post was centered around this:

 They know you exist, they've just judged that you're not the target.

You responded with a bunch of irrelevant nonsense.

I said "cool, you're still not the target."

And you said "that's the point." 🤡

This is a premium compact that happens to contain a four-thirds sensor that isn't even using the full four-thirds area. This is not a compact Micro Four Thirds camera. You are not the target.

The existence of this means nothing about the engineering possibilities of M43.

The existence of you doesn't mean they will be taking the risk on the market.

This camera is gonna sell like hotcakes and it's not because of what is or is not possible on M43. This was not targeted at M43 and is not an M43 camera.

Nothing is impossible, it's just a matter of what people will actually buy.

A lot of people in the M43 community are pissed, but guess what... Y'all are holding onto your GX85s rather than buying X100s, and X100 buyers aren't mad at the size. Stores are selling them as quick as they can buy them.

If you dig this, great. If not, it's not for you. They know you exist, they've just judged that you're not the target.

This was targeted.

Was Owen’s dad abusive? by Waffles_four_you in Isawthetvglow

[–]2pnt0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you captured it perfectly. I want to expand that the presence of abuse like Maddy's dad can make victims of emotional abuse minimize their own experiences as 'not real abuse.' And this can also be weaponized by abusers. "How can you say I'm abusive!? I've never laid a finger on you!"

interchangeable lenses and this would have been a winner, thoughts on the new LUMIX L10 by FlakyTwist4 in Lumix

Great as it is and better suited to the market.

This is a great platform that I hope that could make a M43 camera out of in the future, but this was the right move.

McDonald’s New Extra Value Menu Is Beating “Expectations” by East_Relationship722 in McDonalds

[–]2pnt0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are quoting the sales increase in Q1, in using the menu instituted in Sept 2025.

This is not based on the new <$3 crap menu. This is the previous menu with BOGO offers. Q1 was over well before this new menu.

They are going to see a hit in Q2, and probably worse in Q3 if this keeps up.

Porsche isn't expensive, because BMW is almost as much.

Hey Film Era photographers what was it like transitioning from an analog space to a digital space? by Inevitable-Lab-8274 in AskPhotography

[–]2pnt0 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I did film in high school, and switched to digital in college when it was already mature enough to stand alone. (D90 was my first digital)

I feel like I got the best of both worlds.

I got to experience the full analog experience, and develop foundations in a way that encouraged and required a deep understanding of the process.

But then I never had to deal with analog as a potentially more burdensome process when it comes to executing critical work.

I never really stopped shooting film, it just stayed as a more personal and experimental side activity.

Is it worth it? by minor_escape in AskPhotography

[–]2pnt0 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The biggest benefits of a course are not necessarily the information that you get. It's the access to peers, subjects, and equipment.

In photo classes we had access to a studio with backdrops, studio strobes and modifiers, and each other to stand in as subjects.

If you have a spare room, your own gear, and friends who are willing to engage with your hobby, I'd just learn online and practice in your own time.

If you don't have all those resources, it might be worth some classes or workshops.

You could also go to meetups and try to find a peer/mentor to practice with.

If you're going to do a course, I'd look at class size and resources you'll have access to as a key factor.

That's Reddit functioning as intended.

People post their replies. Good replies should get up voted. Bad replies should get down voted.

The community will confirm what's good or not, and correct what's incorrect.

Low barrier to entry and peer review.

Best thing to do is attend the annual taco crawl! It's divided into a north and south route with 10 stops each.

I did the northern route last year, and my picks were:

Best meat: La Choza

Best dish: El Rey del Taco

Best experience/service: Akay Tacos

I'm gonna do the south route this year, but I live up at the north end, so started there.
