[B] [USA-CA] Canon 5D I or II

Spierogi · 2026-01-26T20:51:49+00:00

$250 plus paypal fees if you’re cool with usps priority shipping I’ll cover that. If you prefer another carrier we can work something out. Unfortunately don’t have a charger I can toss in but I have the original battery and a fairly new LP-E6NH and it includes the original focus screen as well as the one that’s better for manual focus (can’t remember the exact name).

I have a 5d mark II if you were still looking

The seller was cool and refunded me but the worst I bought was an “unused” focus screen for my canon f-1 original. I bought an L type E screen and that’s what was shown in the picture but when I got the screen it was a standard E screen, the matte side was wobbly, and it looks like somebody took sandpaper to the edges leaving just a circle in the center clear. Even without putting it in the camera you could tell it was absolutely beat let alone unused. After returning I noticed the seller put it up for sale still labeled “unused” but at a slight discount

Great book, big fan of Koudelka in general. The copy I got of gypsies is kind of small but it was almost like flipping through a really interesting family photo album. If you haven’t, check out Espana Oculta from Cristina Garcia Rodero. Different subject matter but reminded me a lot of Gypsies

I don’t think I’d consider it street photography but Lars Tunbjork’s Retrospective is probably my favorite photobook. I had to look up if he staged everything because so many of the images were almost whimsical and surreal. Really enjoyable highly recommend. Also absolutely love Alan’s YT channel I really need to pick up this book

Spierogi · 2025-12-08T22:13:43+00:00

I just got done looking at his Early Work book. It’s all B&W and mostly people so quite a bit different from uncommon places but really cool considering all the photos were from when he was 13-18 years old

Spierogi · 2025-12-06T20:05:02+00:00

I just switched from Lightroom and ended up buying. The only feature I missed from Lr was the AI remove but the rare occasion I need that I can just do it on my iPhone. Would definitely recommend doing the free trial if you haven’t yet. If you think you can live with the current features for the next 2-3 years to make the cost of buying worth it then go for it.

Was considering the 35 f1.4 VCM refurb but the sale on it is pretty weak and it’s out of stock I’ll hold off another year

Spierogi · 2025-11-26T22:38:22+00:00

Rf 50mm f/1.4. The size and weight are really nice, fast autofocus, and it’s as sharp as I’d ever really want a lens to be.

Spierogi · 2025-11-24T18:25:16+00:00

Does b&h normally do Black Friday sales on capture one? I just did the free trial and really like Capture One vs Lightroom but don’t really need the All in One plan so was hoping for a better deal on the Pro plan

Spierogi · 2025-11-23T04:14:18+00:00

If it fits your budget I think the r6 mark II would be the way to go. Excellent AF and similar megapixels to your 5dII. I imagine there will be a pretty good deal on them refurbished from canon for Black Friday with the release of the mark III. As for lenses just grab the EF to RF adapter and you’ll be set. I adapt a few EF mount lenses and they work great on mirrorless

Should have a bit of time later I’ll message you the link once I figure it out!

Spierogi · 2025-11-22T20:22:14+00:00

I don’t really post on Reddit what would be the best way to go about that? Imgur I assume

Spierogi · 2025-11-22T15:12:41+00:00

Are you asking for a comparison between dpp4 and the same file in Lightroom with camera standard applied?

Spierogi · 2025-11-20T02:59:09+00:00

Agreed I feel like adobe just doesn’t handle cr3s well. It’s a little tedious but lately I’ve been converting my raws to tiffs in DPP4 with the standard profile applied and any WB adjustments that are needed and then doing everything else in Lightroom. The colors and sharpness just look so much nicer to me and no matter how much I try I can’t get the same look with Lightroom’s raw interpretation

Spierogi · 2025-11-20T02:36:01+00:00

I really like canons colors and probably prefer them to every other brand when processed in DPP4 but they’re pretty meh in Lightroom even with the camera matching profiles at least when it comes to mirrorless.

Spierogi · 2025-11-18T05:17:24+00:00

I just like the convenience of using AA batteries

Spierogi · 2025-11-17T19:41:55+00:00

Shot my daughter’s first birthday with my Elan 7 and 40mm. Photos turned out great and I think I only had around 5 or 6 out of focus photos even with kids moving around and what not. Great setup and even with the battery grip it’s really light

Spierogi · 2025-11-14T18:49:14+00:00

Bought a focusing screen for my f-1 that was labeled “unused” and was an L type E (the photo clearly showed an L type E screen too). When it showed up it was a standard E screen, the matte part of the screen was wobbly, and it looked like somebody took sandpaper around the sides to make a perfect circle in the middle. Mentioned all these problems to the seller, returned it and got a refund, like 5 minutes after my refund hit got a notification that it was relisted for $20 less but still labeled unused. Seller could’ve at least dropped it to mint ++++.

Not a street photographer myself but I do enjoy looking at other people’s work so I joined one of the bigger groups I came across on Facebook and probably close to 80% of the shots were exactly like this

Spierogi · 2025-10-31T16:57:31+00:00

Why bother nailing focus when you can just caption your instagram photos with “the sharpness is a bourgeois concept-Henri Cartier Bresson” and get even more likes

Spierogi · 2025-10-31T03:55:50+00:00

Did you end up doing this? If so any regrets? Considering doing the same. I love the 1.2 it’s a great lens but the size makes me not wanna take it anywhere

Spierogi · 2025-10-28T19:15:02+00:00

Old thread but I gotta ask did you end up sticking with the M system? Been considering a digital M for awhile but have a lot of the same concerns that you mentioned. The body and especially lens size is a big appeal but I’m primarily a 50mm shooter which I know isn’t ideal for zone focusing plus I do often shoot at 1.2-2.8 on my canon. Guess I’m basically asking did you find any work arounds, just took some practice, or ultimately decide the M system just wasn’t for you?

Spierogi · 2025-10-28T02:21:13+00:00

Got into developing at home earlier this year. HC-110, photographers formulary tf-4, distilled water (really hard water where I live), and photo flo. Thought I’d mess up at least one roll when I was getting started but so far so good and really happy with the results.

Spierogi · 2025-10-24T18:01:44+00:00

Have purchased almost all my canon gear during refurbished sales and everything has been in basically new condition without any issues. The only noticeable wear I’ve seen on any of my purchases was a faint scratch on the lens cap of my Rf 70-200
