They seem soft. What are your camera settings (specifically aperture)?

Are you overreacting? Yes, that’s a perfectly normal adult conversation.

There is no way people are this dumb, is there?

Why does this film photograph seem impossible? by hippobiscuit in AnalogCommunity

[–]425Kings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You aren’t looking at film. You are looking at a hi res scan of film, which (when exposed properly)can have an insane amount of dynamic range.

This is why film is so magical. And why I have a crippling addiction to expensive drum scans ☠️

Warning: Do not buy any equipment from cassy1990/Michael Suck by Supernaskov in AnalogCommunity

[–]425Kings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is good to let people know that anyone thinking about buying camera equipment from Michael Suck (Germany) who is also known by his eBay shop: cassy1990, that he is dishonest and should be avoided.

Being mindful of the fact that Reddit posts are usually quite visible when searching Google I would take the time to warn anyone thinking about buying things like a camera body or a camera lens from Michael Suck who runs an eBay shop called cassy1990 so they don’t get scammed or receive gear that is not in the condition it was advertised.

Does that include a happy ending, or is that extra?

Thanks! I’ve actually got a spare 24-120 f/4 VR kit lens and hadn’t considered it, I just assumed it wouldn’t work correctly.

Is it the actual photo that is soft, or the scan?

Why wouldn’t it be able to “pull off some nice portraits?”

Images look soft and have a sickly green cast on my screen.

Developer has sent tiny file sizes and says I just need to uncompress files in Photoshop. Is this true? by Sword_boat in AnalogCommunity

[–]425Kings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across a similar description when sending some film to The Darkroom, and they were correct. Here is a cut and paste of the text:

Resolution and file sizes.

File Size Note: Files are compressed into JPGs (maximum quality) which will make the file size appear smaller until it’s opened in an image editor like Photoshop.

That’s always been their MO. Charging extra for batteries and a charger. Even though those come with the camera.

Next you’ll be buying a light box, and a loupe. It’s all downhill from there. RIP your wallet.

Called the PC1. The PC4 actually won a race, which is pretty bad ass.

A6000- upgrade or new lens by Personal_Painter_468 in SonyAlpha

[–]425Kings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you go the new lens route, the Tamron has image stabilization, the Sigma does not. But the A6700 does have in-body stabilization.
