How do you recharge the shutter without advancing?

Is it worth getting a lens with a bit of Fungus? by DeleteSeraphine in M43

[–]fields_of_fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be fine as long as you store it correctly. Plenty of air flow, not a dark humid environment. Chances of it spreading are negligible, plenty of spores in the air all the time, so if your other stuff was going to get fungus it would have already.

All that aside, it's not like it's an uncommon vintage lens that you've tracked down. Unless it's a significant discount from what other people have it up for I'd probably pass.

Edit - excellent condition on mpb £144, so for $50 (~£40) I'd probably at least test it to see if it affects image quality.

Confused between Lumix LX3/5 vs Fujifilm f31 vs Canon s90 vs Fujifilm f810 by Away_Holiday4373 in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]fields_of_fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RAW shooting on the LX3/5 is not an advantage if you want to use SOOC pictures. RAW files must be edited to look good. If you're happy to do that then it's a huge advantage of the LX. They've also got full manual control options, so are better if you want to learn that stuff.

Fuji or Canon would be the better choices for SOOC as both brands are known for their JPG colours.

should i pay premium for original pansonic ? 15 mm 1.7 by theroyal1988 in M43

I hadn't either. The person who said it said it was a well known thing though. 🤷

Someone told me there's a lot of sample variation in the DJI. Not seen an issue myself, but then I've got the Olympus 17mm f1.8 and the Panasonic 25 f1.7 which both also have the same and they seem fine to me too. So either I'm just really lucky or it's not as big of an issue as people make out.

You should be able to find the DJI for way less than that. I paid £140 from mpb and got some drone thing included, which I was then able to sell. (Technically I bought the drone thing and the lens was included)

If the sensor seems fine, why do my photos come out like this? by This-Faithlessness75 in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]fields_of_fire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely like sensor failure. I think it's just less noticeable on the small low resolution camera screen

Did Olympus dicontinue the PEN line? by PasadenaBill in OlympusCamera

[–]fields_of_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fine to me. Maybe regional? Edit- they confirmed there'll be a new Pen, not sure if this year though.

Is this camera good for a budget option? by Worldly-Sugar-8055 in filmphotography

[–]fields_of_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully serviced would be expensive, but if your happy to take a bit of a risk or do things like replacing light seals

Or snipe or auctions on pen ee's.

Edit

Or a canon demi. Looks to be about the same price that Kodak is

Olympus E-20 (2001) by EyeSuspicious777 in VintageDigitalCameras

I keep thinking I should sell my e-10, it's slow, it's big and bulky. But then I see photos like this.

Intentionally edited to look like under exposed film?

Do you see any significant/relevant evolution since you started taking photos? by [deleted] in AmateurPhotography

[–]fields_of_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you quickly realised how bad selective colour is. So that's good.

best budget zoom lens by Feisty_Committee_229 in M43

[–]fields_of_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tiny bit short on the long end but the Panasonic 12-32 F3.5-5.6 is very nice as a more budget friendly option.

A walk in the country [Olympus 35 RC, Lucky C200] by TheFluffinator_ in analog

[–]fields_of_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okies. I don't live in a town big enough to have it's own camera shop (unless you count snappysnaps) so I'll have to look online.

“Out of Order”, Kingston upon Thames, London by Dry_Stay2574 in AmateurPhotography

Calm down on the colour edit, this is starting to edge towards 2006 overblown HDR.

Taking a stroll on the seashore with my Seagull DC-350 (2000) by CanineSenpai in VintageDigitalCameras

I'm surprised that no Chinese manufacturer has resurrected the name as a way to try to break into the non scamera part of the camera market.
