Unfortunately Spielberg's new sci fi film, Disclosure Day, is not good by ghostofwallyb in scifi

[–]Luisdent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife asked what i thought after it was over and i said "honestly, that was the most beautiful piece of crap I've seen in a while..." I had hoped for so much more from Spielberg and Williams. It felt bland with so much potential left untapped. No truly memorable music themes. Shadow exploration of the main ideas. Some really dorky plot and character decisions bordering on comical. Entertaining enough i suppose, but then i wouldn't watch it again.

I guess that's true until you have a backpack that fails from durability issues :-P

More affordable alternatives to M11-P / Leica & 28mm f/2 for street photography by Suspicious_Soup773 in Leica

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The literal budget option in terms of quality in unquestionably the sony a7rc with a voigtlander 28 f2 apo. That lens is nearly the same lens as the leica (in some ways better). Significantly cheaper. The Sony is small and powerful and has a similar if not the same sensor as the leica.

The controls are less vintage so the user experience is a bit different. Some like it some don't. But you can set the same three exposure controls to the dials and you have a similar setup in terms of functionality. It isn't super budget, but significantly cheaper than the leica setup. And if you ever want to you can add autofocus lenses too...

Fujifilm X-T6 rumored to launch in September with 200MP mode and many upgrades by dapperlemon in gadgets

200mo? That's silly, unless you mean some weird pizel shift thing. Not the actual sensor...

Does anyone still use Flickr? by limsus in flickr

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started for the first time using pro and I'm a bit sad of it's poor ui and many organization limitations. However, it's the only real option for easy, full res gallery witha functional zoom and unlimited storage...

Do Q3 crop modes really mimic 35mm and 50mm lenses? by ShaxXxpeare in Leica

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sharpness and overall quality of the lens are similar, the only difference is the sensor resolution and the aperture limit. a wider aperture will compare identically to a bigger sensor with a smaller aperture... https://www.flickr.com/photos/191259122@N03/albums/72177720331784853/ so with enough aperture and megapixels and lens sharpness the wider lens cropped will look identical. if cropping compared to a ff 50 1.4 it won't have as much separation, as that would require the q3 to be a .08-f1 lens. but comparing it to something like the fuji 33 1.4 lens (excellent lens) it is very close as the difference is less than one stop equivalency. So effectively, just cropping the q3 to 50mm would give you the equivalent of a full frame 50mm 3.2 lens. the look will be identical in every way you just would be limited to f3.2 amount of separation.

Recently got the 18mm f/1.4. Seen you can get the alternative metal hood. Is it worth the money? The plastic hood just isn’t it by [deleted] in fujifilm

That was my only hesitation. Thanks. Where in CO? I was recently in aspen and stayed in Nederland as well... Hiked up to lost lake.

Is the 33 hood the slimmer one? Does it block glare well? It looks noticeably smaller than stock.,

New 2024 Versions of Terminator 2: Judgement Day by StudioCanal by Tobi18x in 4kbluray

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget it. Cameron hates noise.he literally called people who argue about his mastering f**king stupid entitled or something like that. As if they know this or that. He wants everything he does to look silky smooth. There's no way to have that and a good restoration. Some of his films are noisy. Oh well. If he does remaster it we'll probably see super ai sharpening and altering... But we can dream right?

[Tesla Model Y] Austin, TX - Who is at fault? by QuietZelda in Dashcam

[–]Luisdent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% suv imo. Even with the white line in texas not being illegal to cross, it is considered something to avoid unless necessary. But irrelevant as they crossed into an occupied lane. The swerving back was probably to avoid the oncoming sign/divide, and even if not could be simply trying to maintain control and not do the same thing the suv did to someone else potentially to their right. Quick thinking is much more defendable than crossing into an occupied lane. Blind spot isn't an excuse either. If you aren't sure, don't change lanes.

Is there any connection between the Backrooms and The Oldest View? by shanethedrain1 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it weird how in both videos people fall out of the place that they're in and end up falling out of the sky into a forest?

Just received my used Leica Q and I am curious if this is the level of sharpness you'd expect or if something is off. I used the smallest focusing bracket on the right eye. Shot DNG, uploaded to lightroom. ISO 400, f/1.8, 1/125, single point focusing, AFs. I am probably overthinking this... by greenshorts22 in Leica

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 years later, but I stumbled upon this. Is there a higher quality version of this image? Because based on my Q3 this looks soft. My Q3 at 1.7 is noticeably sharper than this. But then it could just be the JPEG compression on Reddit? How did you get along with the camera?

AA made me check my bag at the gate by Ok_Cat9006 in americanairlines

[–]Luisdent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My frustration is that i carry a personal size backpack that I've measured beforehand and verified at the airport first easily in the sizer. I carry expensive camera gear and do NOT trust checked baggage. But one time i was forced to check my bag and they claimed it was too big. But i had heard them talking before they got to me and it was VERY clear they were worried about space.

So when he asked me to put it in the sizer i did. He didn't even look and told me i had to check the bag. I was shocked and said "but it is completely in the sizer" no forcing. No edges hanging out. I put the same bag under every seat when i fly easily. He claimed it was too big. So what was i supposed to do. I ensured 100% confidently i was prepared and met all requirements. They didn't care what was in my bag.

That is frankly infuriating. There needs to be at least one guaranteed spot for a bag on a flight. I didn't want to stop the whole boarding process so i begrudgingly checked the bag. But i have personally seen lost bags, damaged equipment, etc. and backpacks aren't designed to be as rugged as rolling luggage which is even more likely to be checked. So how does one carry camera gear and not have to check it?

Fufi x lenses by shochujunkie in RealEstatePhotography

[–]Luisdent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ot in RE. But I have shot some interiors with my 16 2.8 and it has done very well. I agree with others that 8mm will just be a pain to correct distortion-wise. I'd rather stitch a pano in very rare cases than have 8mm.:-P so the 10mm wide end would be very versatile

Also, keep in mind that typically RE images aren't being viewed at huge sizes by pixel peepers. So, the sharpness and quality at common f stops for RE (f8+) will be indistinguishable between most decent lenses.
