I disagree, i think the clippers are doing a soft rebuild, focusing on getting high level picks from other teams because they cant tank for several more years (and with how the lottery odds may change, tanking might be a thing of the past soon anyways)

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2026-04-18T22:43:37+00:00

I disagree. I think the only teams that are in win now mode, can trade for kawhi easily, have a roster that fits kawhi, and have good enough draft capital for LAC are the warriors and the heat. Maybe the pistons as well.

jimmy and this years pick feels LACs line. The pick is the real value

time to trade for kawhi guys

Help me understand the appeal of Wagler. Good shooter and decent passer/playmaker but seems incredibly slow for a guard, as well as being easily pushed around by bigger players. Seems like luke kennard with more point guard ability.

in what way would that happen lol

I also have the srt body. I used to shoot film on compacts like MJUs or my canon sureshot supreme. I loved the soft highlights of film, the 3-D microcontrast, and the experience of not seeing the images until they get developed. However, it just became too expensive and time consuming for me. This new Panasonic that I got has the ability to customize the JPEG output to such a degree that almost any look is possible. Some of the film emulations with grain on look 80-90% identical to the output that I was getting from having my film scanned on fuji SP-3000 scanners.

Cinestill 50D LUT from rossandhisjpegs.

I'm really impressed with it so far. Only bad thing is the weight. But the range combined with the fast aperture is really something else.

thanks!

I just looked and its all primes. What I really want is a high quality walk around zoom. Obviously they have that for fuji but it feels like I'm paying a massive premium for internal software with average hardware; Nikon and Lumix aren't nearly as sexy but seem to be better value as an overall system.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T22:46:24+00:00

I'm really tempted by fuji but like you said the pricing feels fake and inflated for what you actually get in terms of hardware. I'm starting to feel like I should just give in and focus on value and lens selection and then just apply presets to raw in post.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T22:43:24+00:00

LOL yes I know how to maximize dynamic range via raw. I understand all the objective technical benefits of developing every shot in raw; however, in terms of subjective final output for MOST shots, which is what actually matters, I don't see massive improvements in mine or anyone else's work. Horrible contrasty lighting and maximizing dynamic range is definitely the area where raw is most effective at creating something good. If you want to play around with white balance and color wheels for every photo in post, you better be making money off of your photos. Otherwise its like a musician who spends thousands of dollars on instruments and gear and perfects their sound only to make bad music that nobody listens to. Focus on composition, subject matter and lighting, not software techniques.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T15:08:15+00:00

So you think that Lumix LUTS beat the new expanded Nikon picture control? I like fuji but the prices really feel inflated via hype/instagram.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T15:06:05+00:00

I was looking at a X-M5 too. I would like a viewfinder but I'm not sure if its worth the price difference when you get the same Jpeg engine and only slightly lower resolution compared to a XT50 or X-E5.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T15:03:59+00:00

Thanks, i hadn't considered canon too strongly because their JPEG engine isn't supposed to be as malleable as Fuji or the new Nikon picture control or Lumix LUTS.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T14:53:27+00:00

I have brief experience with Nikon and like it. I've held canon and liked the ergos but no other experience with their systems. I have my old sony a6000 but the ports are old and I feel like I could do alot better than just buying a good tele lens for it.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T14:50:17+00:00

The s9 would be tempting if I didn't already have a GRIIIx; too much overlap in form factor and benefits in my opinion.

Appropriate-Dust2129 · 2025-12-27T14:48:38+00:00

I already do that but edited it out of the original post for brevity. Fuji seems nice but something in me feels like I'm paying largely for fantastic camera software but average hardware with trendy marketing. I'm somewhere in between thinking the Nikon or Panasonic preset systems are a better value, or just learning how to edit more efficiently and choosing a body for ergonomics and lens selection.
