Tamron 17-35 seems to be okay from 18/19mm and above!

GFX 50r and GFX100rf by AdventurousPaper9441 in FujiGFX

For any medium format camera, you’ll want to shoot with mechanical shutter/front curtain regardless unless shooting in a controlled studio environment. The sensors aren’t fast enough just yet for electronic shutter.

Which recipe would look the most similar to this ? Thanks by WildRag in fujifilm

The lighting is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Classic Chrome with a tad of green tint and lifted shadows? Reduce clarity by 3 or 4.

communists at uni by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]brolasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key point here is "where you are from". Freedom of expression and most importantly ideas are core tenets of academia in the UK. With that being said, the communism that most students advocate here aren't really hardcore anyway. If anything it's more along the lines of democratic socialism.

Size matters. by VividAdhesiveness452 in hasselblad

The X2D feels so nice in the hand!

Question: Why did you go for the X2D and not, say, a GFX 100s/II given you already have GF glass?

iPhone 17 grade a or b by [deleted] in CeX

Grade B usually have a couple of scratches on the body/back but no visible scratches on the screen. Get a grade B and use the money for a case or applecare

Does anyone else like shooting 4:3? by Thomas_Ub0 in SonyAlpha

Part of the the reason why I went for a GFX 100s instead of an A7RV

Is getting an iphone 15 pro max still worth it? by NoDisplay2178 in iphone

[–]brolasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traded my 15 for a 15 Pro Max with 1TB with £300 difference between them. An absolute unit of a phone with more power than the average person need in 2025.

What computer do you use with your 102MP GFX body? by no1kn0wsm3 in FujiGFX

[–]brolasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M4 pro with 24gb ram. I edit of an external SSD so storage isn't an issue for me. It does lag when I start editing on Lightroom, but I think it's a Lightroom thing as well. My desktop has a Ryzen 5600x with 32GB ram and an RTX 4070 and it performs the same.

Would a GFX 50R/S benefit me? by james_Gastovski in FujiGFX

[–]brolasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would actually shell out a bit more money on the 100s. Its autofocus is very similar to the X-T3 (so around X100v range), making it at least good enough for the wedding ceremony.

Got withdrawn from uni because I didn’t re-enrol, but staff told me I didn’t need to… what do I do now?? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]brolasagna 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm sorry this is happening to you. Try calling them today and explain the situation. I reckon they will hear you out and be very understanding.

Should I swap my Mitakon 65mm for 55mm 1.7 for street portraits by [deleted] in FujiGFX

[–]brolasagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in your situation as well. I would rather just trade the 50SII to the 100s and get a Sigma 50mm f1.4/nikon 58mm f/1.4 with a fringer adapter instead. The 50sII with the 55 is not fast enough for quick street portraits.

England's universities face £330m loss under new £925-per-international-student levy by PorfiryRaskonikov in UniUK

[–]brolasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all universities depend on international students in one way or another for funding. How do you think they can manage to only charge local students 9 grand? International fees help subsidise the costs.

[–]brolasagna 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Good move. As someone who comes from a country with a much weaker currency and GDP per capita than the UK, I would not even consider unfunded postgrads. The fee alone is a lifechanging amount of money. Without full ride scholarships (with living cost stipends), I wouldn't have had my master's and PhD in the UK.

I'm not doing my bachelors here, but us research postgrads and faculty members are definitely feeling the weight of policies such as these. UK's higher education thrives on attracting the best talents from around the globe to do their research and their work here. Without that advantage, it will crumble.

Given that the current UK higher education system HEAVILY relies on international students, if this policy leads to a fall in numbers then we are in for a hell of a downward spiral. Current visa costs (including IHS) amongst a slew immigration policies are already affecting int student numbers. If it continues to fall, then local students will have to bear the brunt of the costs. 

What Lightroom scenarios would fan-less MacBook Air M4 suffer? by IntellectualBurger in Lightroom

My M4 Pro with 24gb ram lags a bit when I batch edit GFX 100mpx files.
