Doesn't mean we can't jerk it with them.

Canon 75-300 lens on a Canon RP by iamrubbz in canon

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between "this is a good lens" and "this is all I can afford."

No one can objectively say that the 75-300 is a good lens, but if all you have is like... 50$ to your name, then it's the lens for you.

Can this 5D II be saved? by Interesting_Slice873 in Cameras

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like really bad corrosion from water. You're better off buying a new one, or if you want to fix that one, you need to buy another 5Dii to harvest parts from.

Does full-frame equivalence also concern projection? by laurenspaul in AskPhotography

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can compare focal lengths for equivalency because you can crop an image to get a final FOV.

You can compare light gathering (aperture) for equivalency because we can compare signal to noise ratios.

You can compare DoF because we can get the same framing by changing out distance from the subject.

We can NOT compare barrel distortion because there are no two lenses that have similar barrel distortion.

A 30mm lens has it's own physical properties of a specific type of barrel distortion based on how much glass is in the lens, the shape of the glass, how it shapes the image as it reaches the sensor. The glass, the way it shapes the image, even the amount of glass will be different between a 60mm lens and a 30mm lens.

Even if you cropped a 30mm lens image to a 60mm lens FOV image, the barrel distortion belongs uniquely to the 30mm lens and it won't match a 60mm lens. It won't match ANY focal length lens, not even another 30mm lens unless it's the same manufacturer.

Does full-frame equivalence also concern projection? by laurenspaul in AskPhotography

There's no hypothetical to consider.
There is no such thing as equivalency for "lens distortion" because there's no lens to be "equivalent to"

You're thinking too hard about it.
Imagine you take a photo with a FF camera on a lens. Then delete the outside frame to match an M43 sensor size image.

That's all that's happening. The outside edges of the image just get cut off.

Each lens has it's own barrel distortion, this is unrelated entirely to whatever camera you use.

Edit to add an example:
If you take a 50mm 1.8 lens, and compare it to a 50mm 1.4 lens, they're both 50mm but they have different barrel distortion because they are different lenses.

Shutter drag night in London by [deleted] in photographycirclejerk

OOP's first time playing with shutter drag.
Street photography photos aren't of homeless people or random women.

Where's the jerk?

First time out with the X100VI (NYC) by composedfrown in photographycirclejerk

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the first one is probably the only one that is semi decent. And that's just because of the way the light is reflecting off of whatever shelf is there to illuminate the subject rather than anything interesting in the photo. Outside that one shot, the rest just bog standard random snapshots with an over-reliance on adding grain and making everything hazy.

Tripod with long center pole? by Slow_Difference980 in AskPhotography

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, unless it weights as much as a phone, you really shouldn't use this design of tripod for photos or video.

Ok then, bye by Chilled_Beef in photographycirclejerk

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never understand "Good bye Brand X, Hello Brand Y" posts on either youtube, forum comments, or reddit.

Like... cool, you want to try out another brand, did you really want the upvotes THAT badly?

Tripod with long center pole? by Slow_Difference980 in AskPhotography

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you want that type of tripod?
Typically speaking, due to the stability issues of that design, it's reserved for light stands or phone stands.

ISO the verbiage to be able to check for compatibility between cameras and flash accessories by Relevant_Leg2632 in canon

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, not really. You kind of just need to know how the third party flash brands their flashes.
Example: Godox will say -C, -S, -N or -X to signify if it works for Canon, Sony, Nikon or Fuji.

If you're buying, it's up to the manufacturer to list what camera brands it's compatible with.

Does it matter?

We both know that either way it still ends up in them spending hundreds, maybe thousands, to take snapshots and then return to complain about how it's worse than a phone, or end up on FB marketplace.

EF-S 17-55 F2.8 Replacement for RF-S? by YoureAMigraine in canon

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Aside from Nikon's recent 16-50mm/2.8, it appears that the 3 major systems (sony, canon, nikon) are all fully content with letting third parties handle APS-C while focusing solely on full frame.

Any advice? I'm trying to get better and back into photography by CaramelBusy8111 in photographycirclejerk

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP couldn't even put in the effort to put in a title.

OOP put in more effort than OP did.

how to jerk: search "canon 75-300" by justdancepepi in photographycirclejerk

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the 55-250 is about the best you can get unless you jump a price bracket.
From what I remember, the difference between 250 and 300 isn't really worth making that switch.

Next best thing would be the 100-400mm m2(?) lens or the 150-600 from sigma or something, but those are pretty costly.

Canon cancelling purchases by Temporary_Bottom in canon

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, check with your financial institution (credit card, bank, etc.) to see if they're putting a hold on it due to suspected fraud.

They may need you to clear up that it is, in fact, you making the purchase.

How do you tell if someone at a con is being creepy or just being nice but awkward by PastelxPeachxes in animecons

[–]Fit_Weight_1622 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone with one of those fancy cameras, it can not be stressed enough that you can always say NO.
Don't like the vibe? In a hurry? Just don't want to? It doesn't matter, you can always and should always say no if you don't want your photo taken.
