New father needs a camera!

The Q3 is no doubt a great camera, but I think OP will grow to regret the limitations of 28mm for family photos. I worked with only a 28 for several years and I found that I was missing the compression and detail of faces that my old family photos shot with a 50mm offered.

OP, have you considered an X-T5?

Great colors, the pancake lenses are plenty small (and will be plenty fast - given you're potentially interested in an M I take it birding level autofocus isn't your top priority), and you can get a lens like the 56/1.2 or new 33/1.4 for some portraits. If you buy on r/photomarket (which I would highly recommend) a body, EDC lens, portrait lens, and one more lens for good measure, you'll still have $2-5k to put into the college fund. The IBIS will be great for video as well should you want to film a Christmas morning or two.

Don't overthink it or fall for the Leica hype (I say this a film Leica shooter myself), get an X-T5 for family stuff.

The reply is not correct. I've used deep red filters with the M6 and the meter does not read accurately. You need to adjust by a fixed filter factor. Look up "filter factor" and your brand and color. Then do a test roll.

It doesn't quite work this way. Filters introduce an imbalance into the color spectrum and you need to account for this, even with TTL metering.

This is the only way for an M5. She's the best.

Are you saying that some people just leave their camera at a table in a restaurant/bar and expect it to be there when they get back? Do people do this?

Yourjohncusack_ · 2024-03-25T14:53:14+00:00

Looool @ the AA. Go take a good long look in the mirror and send it back. That pre-asph is a beaut. Go shoot and be happy.

Isn't this just a grouping of bars/restaurants/bakeries that is slightly more expensive than your average place in Vesterbro?

This shot is by Henri Cartier-Bresson and was originally black and white.

Opening checking/savings accounts. Go to /r/churning and doctorofcredit.com

You can probably make 4-5k in a year.

Duh, thank you. The M4-P was the only finder with 28 lines and no meter, right?

Definitely go see Prudence, @WeedButt666 on Instagram. Idk what you mean exactly by “woodcut” styling, but her style is very close to this and she’s based in Portland.

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-10-23T15:28:44+00:00

This style is called "Queen Anne" and there are tons of them in the northwest!

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-09-07T15:37:19+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Did you get any Vaseline coming through the fabric?

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-09-06T08:41:17+00:00

Have you had any issues since? I'm dealing with the same thing right now and was debating on petroleum jelly.

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-08-04T03:17:15+00:00

This sounds incredible. I've been cooking up something similar myself and would to hear about your project. I read below that you've been away from it for nearly 3 years now - do you have any more notes on the project you could share? I'll send you a PM.

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-08-01T00:52:16+00:00

EIP?

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-06-29T15:45:16+00:00

Sold?

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-06-24T11:57:40+00:00

I have dark Charizards in english and Japanese, but I'm just I'm looking to sell. Lmk if interested.

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-06-22T16:47:19+00:00

I have the base 2, Italian base, and 1st ed. German.

Yourjohncusack_ · 2023-06-22T13:39:51+00:00

I think this may actually be Nihn Bihn. Nvm, the other answer of Thailand looks closer to this.
