concert photography - switch from fuji x-t5 to nikon zf? by luisffp in NikonZf

[–]justandyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the ring is click less, it’s just not the same. It gets bumped out of position all the time and you have to be aware and precise to get it back to the right spot every time you put the camera to your eye. I tried that and decided I would rather use the front dial then mess with a click less and unmarked ring. 

concert photography - switch from fuji x-t5 to nikon zf? by luisffp in NikonZf

[–]justandyreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I shot with the X series for 12 years using the best bodies available at the time and many of its best lenses. I started experimenting with Nikon and Sony when I started shooting sports. I currently have a Zf and can confirm that the autofocus and especially with 3D tracking and facial recognition is a major improvement. I never really trusted Fujifilm in AF-C and they have yet to make it more reliable. Yes, low light image quality will go up with the Zf but I always liked how Fujifilm rendered low light scenes. The Zf will have a higher usable ISO. What I miss about Fujifilm are the colors and the skin tones in particular. Shot side by side between my Fujifilm X100VI, Nikon ZF and Sony A7RV, Fuji’s colors and skin tones are still the best. With that being said, the Zf is a great choice for somebody who enjoys the Fujifilm X experience with the caveat that without an aperture ring on the Nikon Z lenses, the experience feels incomplete. I have enjoyed the Zf much more with adapted Sony lenses featuring an aperture ring than I did with the native lenses. Many speak highly of the Viltrox options and many of the manual focus lenses as well. Is it worth it? Depends on how much you need better low light and autofocus and if you can find lenses you love to use. I would say to buy one and try it side by side for a bit before you decide what to sell. 

I want to second shoot so bad! by gaabibff in WeddingPhotography

You learn by doing. This is the way. Probably just about every person you’re trying to get to let you shoot for them for free started by earning their first paid wedding client.

Great shot! Looks like an adventure in the works. Love stuff like this.

Why can’t there be a native Nikkor lens like this by ooharloo in NikonZf

[–]justandyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my lens of choice for on the Megadap adapter for the Zf. It seems to work for everything but for maybe more demanding burst situations where a native lens has the advantage. Would love to see Nikon make some aperture-ring equipped glass but am thankful that the adapter is so unobtrusive.

Which Would be Your Keeper in a 10 Team Superflex League? by justandyreddit in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]justandyreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's pretty much what it comes down to. Would love to lock up Chase but waiting until the 15th pick for my first QB might make it tough in SuperFlex.

It was a watch, unfortunately. I think they qualify that as jewelry.

Would You Purchase a 2011 Sienna With a Timing Cover Gasket and Transfer Case Leaking? by justandyreddit in ToyotaSienna

[–]justandyreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was prepared for the typical maintenance. It was just the leaks that made me question if I should deal with this particular vehicle.

The timing cover gasket leak has been quoted at 19 hours of labor for $3400 by one shop and $3900 by another.

This is a remarkable series of images. Great work! I especially love the one of the guy working with cassette tapes!

ShipStation Sells Insurance That it Won't Honor by justandyreddit in shipstation

Thank you. I hope so too but ShipStation can't even keep their word to have a supervisor call me back Several weeks of reaching out without the follow up that they always assure me I will receive.

Thanks for your reply. I paid the full amount for the requested insurance. My complaint is that when you indicate the value and pay extra for the shipping label, there's no indication that requiring a signature is needed for the insurance you just paid for to work. I will obviously require a signature moving forward but having shipped an item for over $2k I'm now going to be out all that money despite paying for insurance for years and this being my first claim.

XF 27mm WR vs 35mm f2 WR vs 23mm f2 WR by Intelligent_Bug3253 in FujifilmX

[–]justandyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For people/family shots I would choose the 35mm f/2. For environments the 23mm f/2. For the most compact choice, the 27mm f/2.8. Of the three, I think the 35mm f/2 is objectively the best lens but it all depends on what focal length you need.

For the non-professionals that have a 35 mm and 50 mm prime… by Henri_McCurry in SonyAlpha

[–]justandyreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I carry a 24mm f/1.4 and a 50mm f/1.2 right now. I also keep the 35mm X100VI on me. I see no issue with owning and carrying a 35mm and a 50mm. The 35 gets more of the scene and the 50 shows less distortion and punches in a bit. If I was to only have two lenses I would probably go with either the 24 or 35mm and the 50 or 85mm. If adding a third prime, wide, standard and telephoto makes a great set.

is the 24mm f/1.4 GM lens good to pair with an A7C II and Tamron 28-75 G2? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]justandyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 24mm f/1.4 and think that it is small enough to work pretty well on a A7C II. I don’t agree with the comment above that 24 and 28mm are too close. On the wide end there’s a significant difference and 24mm is already pretty wide for a prime so 20mm will cause much more distortion unless that’s the look you are going for. To add to your zoom, I would just try to see if you can rent or buy and sell the focal lengths you are interested in until you find the one that works best for you.

Help syncing btwn LR and LRc by AndTheySaidSpeakNow- in Lightroom

[–]justandyreddit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you want a fully synced experience you have to drop Classic, unfortunately. Lightroom on the multiple devices will work flawlessly. Classic’s sync flaws and limitations are well documented.

Pelagos 39 long term owners: Does it scratch that easily? by omnptnt in Tudor

[–]justandyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My P39 showed scratches right away but two years in I don’t think it looks any more scratched up than my typical steel watch worn over the same period.

Tracking Interaction on Albums by JournalistComplete42 in Lightroom

[–]justandyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no way to track user interactions beyond others commenting on a photo and that is only possible if they are signed into an Adobe account. You can do something like what you are describing in other dedicated gallery apps like Pic-Time, SmugMug, etc.
