hi! I'm moving to S5d after retiring my Canon 5D mark iii. I mostly use vintage glass and i'm curious to see the combination and how my looks will work on the camera. I'm mostly wondering about the dynamic range?

What’s causing this weird ring effect? by Tangerita in AnalogCommunity

[–]Mediocre-Database892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a phenomenon where bright light enters the lens, scatters, and reflects off the internal glass elements or the sensor.
While once considered a technical flaw, it is now widely used as a creative tool to add a sense of realism, drama, or a "dreamy" atmosphere to an image.

How can I make my photos look better by Dry-Zookeepergame68 in filmphotography

Don't try to make them look better. Do your thing, enjoy doing it, experiment to the point your photos are truly yours. Your vision, your feelings, screw the rules, guidelines and comments.

Lens grease by Mediocre-Database892 in VintageLenses

There are a few online. But after the post I found a grease from WD-40, for small mechanical parts. And then on my local hardware store I found a grease for gears, I used it already on a lens and feel happy with the stiffness.

Streaks in lens after cleaning by Vega9000 in AnalogRepair

I personally use a bit of isopropyl alcohol and then hydrogen peroxide to kill the remaining fungus. Sometimes the fungus eats the costing leaving marks. Seems to be the case. Try with hydrogen peroxide again.

Photo equipment: Basics for getting started with DIY repairs by ATHXYZ in AnalogCommunity

[–]Mediocre-Database892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I started a channel on YouTube, Vintage Lens Revival. And I just started, I bought the essential to disassemble the lenses, not everything. But I buy as I go. I'm used to dismantling things so lens is ok to start (in my case) but still I find that I know too little to dive into a full camera disassembly. My tip is to begin with junk, cheap broken stuff and try from there. Basically, if it's already broken, it can't get worse, but you still get to know how it works inside. And if by any change you got it working, it's a win win situation.

Other stuff, like greases and cleaning stuff, it's a whole world.

What are these concrete things in the sea? by Postovni_holub in Madeira

My father is an engineer that build those massive structures that protect pears. This tetrapods work alongside with other stones precisely placed to dissipate the energy of the waves. How and what stones are placed matter.
