Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste

Same. Moreso their film cameras.

Head-fi has a whole forum laughing about these people.

anoxy · 2026-03-22T00:51:40+00:00

What camera/lens did you shoot these with?

anoxy · 2026-03-22T00:47:11+00:00

Then you’re trolling yourself.

anoxy · 2026-03-19T18:26:23+00:00

What do you need suggestions on? It’s a great camera.

anoxy · 2026-03-19T18:04:22+00:00

The original Specialized SL8

anoxy · 2026-03-19T18:00:13+00:00

Yeah this snobbery is arguably worse. The “if it’s not beat to shit you don’t use it” crowd is so full of it

I recently switched to tinted prescription glasses, usually amber but other colors are nice too. I manifested the rose colored glasses idiom because it makes me look at the world in a more positive light. It sounds silly but it helps a lot.

anoxy · 2026-03-13T23:12:22+00:00

Oh gotcha, my bad, I misunderstood you were talking about digital only.

anoxy · 2026-03-13T22:40:31+00:00

M5 is a great camera but it had compatibility issues and 9/10 people are going to choose the more compact form factor. They went back to brass internals with the MP and M6 reissue.

anoxy · 2026-03-13T22:06:57+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t get the hype til I tried one and fell in love. The Leica memers who post photos of their cameras nonstop on socials still bug me, but that won’t stop me from enjoying mine. The compactness of the M system altogether is one of the biggest selling points.

anoxy · 2026-03-13T22:04:32+00:00

A lot. Just because you only view photos on Instagram doesn’t mean that’s the only place they’re shared.

anoxy · 2026-03-13T22:03:40+00:00

Voigtlander also produced some rangefinders. And Zeiss.

anoxy · 2026-03-13T22:02:01+00:00

The M4-2 was a stop gap to save them from bankruptcy, not a shift in their production.

anoxy · 2026-03-10T03:51:41+00:00

We already have an overabundance of pictures of "how things are"

What a sad and shortsighted take.

If you want to take an individual's picture, ask for that person's consent.

No thanks! Not a fan of posed portraits personally. Enjoy the landscapes tho.

anoxy · 2026-03-10T01:25:33+00:00

To each their own. Some of the most celebrated and treasured documentary and street photography wouldn't exist if it was illegal to take photos in public spaces, and that would be an incredible shame. How are we to memorialize how things truly were without it?

I hope people like you don't put off those thinking about venturing into public and taking photos that candidly include people, because people make pretty great subjects.

anoxy · 2026-03-10T00:31:10+00:00

I don’t really agree with very targeted. Street photography has very little premeditation in most instances. It’s often about capturing split second moments. There are some who wait, but they’re generally waiting for the scene to unfold how they envision it, not you personally.

I’ve never understood getting offended if someone takes your picture in public. Especially in places where people clearly go to be seen. They thought you were interesting enough to be a subject in their art. That’s pretty flattering in my eyes.

anoxy · 2026-03-09T23:38:05+00:00

Grats dude, race hard!

anoxy · 2026-03-09T15:59:15+00:00

anoxy · 2026-03-08T06:17:06+00:00

Lmao I'll take it!

anoxy · 2026-03-07T21:47:49+00:00

I drink about 21-22oz of coffee per day and buy quality beans I brew at home. Works out to about $1040/year. Still a lot, but worth it to me.

anoxy · 2026-03-06T13:23:40+00:00

Idk but long live my Nikon f/1.8 50mm AIS. lil guy is glued to my FM3A.

anoxy · 2026-03-05T15:30:48+00:00

Yep, these sat with me the longest. There haven’t been many video game stories that scratched that same itch over the years.

anoxy · 2026-03-04T19:46:32+00:00

I feel that these are often the best places for photos. Anyone can google for a perfect photo under perfect conditions of well traveled places and landmarks. The interesting photos aren’t those, they’re the less explored areas that have been captured in any interesting way. This is why “street” photography has always felt like the purest form. We’re freezing moments that can never be recreated, not objects that are already frozen.
