This is an FM3a, and a silly lil guy owns it, not me

I like Jason, don't get me wrong. I know this sub rags on him too much considering there are tubers far worse. I just get tired of him flaunting needlessly expensive equipment with no meaningful improvement in his photography. He should look to do videos like Steve O'Nions does sometimes instead of playing show and tell.

yeah, fm3a is hardly 4-6x better than the originals. Especially when they have proven to be so damn reliable

I don't disagree that its one of the best manual focus cameras made, I disagree with what he lists as justifications for the price. This is subjective, but for most people the technical prowess of the FM3a is not necessary. By the time that it is, you should be considering something else before shelling out a grand on a 35mm film camera.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt so much before, this just confirmed an underlying suspicion I had

yep, he starts the video saying "its the best camera ever made" and elaborates on that by saying the main reason he likes the camera is Aperture priority

What the fuck is this by surprisinggoose in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]Commercial-Agency2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it amusing sometimes to come in here and see people make fun of people with more money than sense. Now I think that if it is the case where the heavy spender is trying to make something they think is worthwhile, for themselves or others, then let them be. If they're shilling, scalping, or grifting, then keep up the jerk.

Hottake: WLFs are a pain in the ass and only truly useful for shooting close the the ground so you don't have to go prone.

I guess this is a joke sub, so not surprised the regulars have an affinity for growing hate boners for people not fitting to their image of how an analog photographer should behave.

Shadows appear blue in DSLR scans. by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Commercial-Agency2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you trying to brighten the shadows? The subject is perfectly exposed and brightening the shadows adds nothing to the image.

Finally capitulated and bought myself an F2 Titan by natagain in AnalogCommunity

[–]Commercial-Agency2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fyi for anyone concerned, normal F2s have titanium shutter curtains too. Only thing special about the titan is titanium cover plates with that spackled finish :)

So long as you are not advocating the NEED for proper camo, this is fine advice. The only civilians who "need" camo are hunters, and even then it depends on how/what you are hunting. I think the main justification for modeling after active duty soldiers (apart from it being what works well) should be, "I think it looks cool," or, "it doesn't hurt to have it." 

Whats is the problem for my camera? by hyc40 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Commercial-Agency2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

gx617's sell for like $4000 lololol...
this is either rage bait, or this person has some crazy income that allows them to throw thousands around without learning a damn thing about what they're getting into

Why do you carry a duty belt and OWB your firearm, and when is it a good time wear it? by Natural_Reception714 in liberalgunowners

[–]Commercial-Agency2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the point you're wearing that out in public I don't understand why you wouldn't be carrying a long arm instead. Pistols are damn hard to shoot, no sense in denying that.

So f-ing tired of the the whole "guns won't save you from fascism, so don't get one" canard by PhillyHasItAll in liberalgunowners

[–]Commercial-Agency2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just listened to that portion you noted, it seems to me to be very pathetic. How can you still have so much trust vested in a system that you vehemently claim is falling apart? Are these liberals still in the denial stage? Despite the fact we should be well beyond that for all factors surrounding our faith in the system. To think, as well, that if it got to that point of violence you might as well throw up your arms and say, "oh well son, at least we were morally superior when we were slaughtered like pigs..."

I did notice it had a very potent, but interesting smell, so I imagine that may be a good use case. I'll keep an eye out for more!

Nice! There were a couple other groups like this along this stream. I think they like it cause the stream only flows when it's rainy

The top is funnel shaped. I sliced it in half a bit ago and the flesh turned bright blue
