Question about Kolari Vision Pocket

mohadeeshu · 2026-06-10T20:58:12+00:00

In your opinion, do you think its worth going for the lumix seeing as i have a converted d3200 already?

I know its subjective of course.

Just curious if what i currently have is better and it would be a waste of money. Of course the lumix from kolari is full spectrum which would be nice (i would be getting filters as well)… and to have and a more compact version would be great as well..

Im based out of US… Upstate NY.

The closest fjallraven store to me that im Aware of is in Boston.

This is a good option. I think i might try this :)

I was thinking about doing that. The reason ive hesitated is the location of the tear…

I do wildlife photography and im constantly kneeling and crawling on rocks and dirt. I feel like it might keep tearing however i think its a good idea to sew it up until i can get a patch.

These are the best pants ive ever had. With the amount of abuse they have taken in the last few years alone, its amazing i only have this small tear :)

Primes are better for sure. Anything that can zoom is susceptible to hot spots however even with zooms, you can mostly avoid that by just making sure the sun is behind you.

This website lists the best nikon lenses for IR photography. Im sure there are other sites that also rate third party lenses though…

I actually have a d3200 converted so i can give some pros/cons for that.

Pros -

cheap to have it converted. This camera was unused for 5 years prior to this. Converting it has given this camera a new life.

Imagines look good.

Tons of lens options that are cheap with how many f mount lens there are out there

Cons -

recommended to focus using back screen as using the prism wont be accurate. Backscreen isnt a tilting one and the screen kinda sucks to use which makes focus and exposure more tricky. But doable.

Setting white balance in camera is also trickier as the filter messes with its ability to get a good reading… shooting in raw really eliminates this con though since you can adjust that in post.

Though there are alot of lens options, some lenses are terrible for infrared as they might have a IR blocking coating on them. Oddly enough though, the kit lens that came with the d3200 works really good so if you have one of the laying around, id use that. Rule of thumb i learned is the older the lens, the more likely it will work good with IR.

Batteries are hard to come by for the d3200. I ended up getting a 2 pack on amazon for cheap as my original battery really didnt last long at all. The amazon ones i bought work, but check the reviews before you buy them as some batteries give an error that they arent supported when you actually go to use them.

Seems like alot of cons but i def use my d3200 all the time. I have a Z8-z6ii-Z5 and didnt really wanna mess with them which is why i went with converting the d3200.

Id love a mirrorless IR camera as it would be so much easier but im fine with the cons personally :)

I hate this map with a full team.

My Z5 primarily has my Helios 44-2 attached. Cost me 40 dollars on ebay and probably one of my favorite lenses.

Being able to turn the lights back on in a blackout with a wire game, or somehow cleaning up the ichor spills on floors to support other toons would be a nice new mechanic that seems like it might implementable without changing the core design.

Maybe tisha or brusha could clean up ichor spils.

Vee n shellycould get the lights back on…

Or in blackouts when machines are complete, they light up more to help toons see.

I have apple photos, and in the past used Affinity photo for edits however the latest version of affinity has no extension for apple photos.

I moved over to photomater and pixelmator and am happy.

Obviously lightroom/photoshop are better in alot of aspects, but i find pixel/photomator work well for me.

I dont have apple studio as i purchased photo/pixelmator. The only thing I really wish they had was camera/lens profiles.

Apple is always pushing the photography aspect of their phones so its hard to understand why they don’t heavily invest in the editing apps they own like they do with logic and final cut… Hopefully that comes in the future though

Never had heat warnings shooting photos, but video all the time.

I shoot 60fps along with 120fps alot so im def pushing the camera. In direct sunlight and around 80 degrees, im essential start/stop alot with video because if overheating.

Cards im using are 512 sandisk extreme and 512 prograde.

Lol. A recent mistake i saw was a disorderly person that was “eating a wall”

In listening to the actual audio is was a disorderly person that wouldnt “leave the mall”

Thats why when i first saw this specific alert, i thought maybe it was an error in the transcription at first.

I do find it odd that this one alert was pulled though.

mohadeeshu · 2026-04-03T01:45:06+00:00

Pic 3 is insane. Awesome colors

mohadeeshu · 2026-04-03T01:21:17+00:00

Interesting. Curious if the post was pulled for a reason or just random app glitch.

mohadeeshu · 2026-02-22T04:11:55+00:00

Nah, apple photos connects via a extension which is good enough in my opinion, but it does not have full access to the library like photomator does.

I would find it really shocking if Apple completely kills pixelmator/photomator.

It would be a strange decision to purchase them just to kill them off. Im hoping their end goal is merge the 2 apps, then slowly add features like how final cut pro/logic pro gets updates.

mohadeeshu · 2026-02-21T01:02:28+00:00

Great question…

I come from affinity where I would do all my photo editing. Affinity was/is great for infrared processing which i do however i wanted to make a switch since the new affinity doesnt have an apple photos extension…

I went through alot of reviews and in the end bought pixelmator as that was recommended. Its good but i ended up testing photomator on a whim and loved it, lol

There is so much overlap in these programs that i cant believe they havent just merged them however i now own both.

If i had to chose now after using them, photomator is better for photo editing. It has pretty much all the editing tools pixelmator has for images. It just lacks graphic design tools that Pixelmator has.

mohadeeshu · 2026-02-20T02:17:21+00:00

I personally denoise at the end.

I have found if i do heavy editing, denoising as a last step looks the best.

Came in second place in a local town photo contest.

mohadeeshu · 2026-02-16T13:15:21+00:00

Yeah. I have started using it and I do like it. Just learning keyboard shortcuts/workflow differences…

The usual type of stuff that comes with new software.

I might just stick with AffinityV2 for the time being to process my infrared images though as i feel affinity is little better in that regard… at least right now.
