1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I've been farting around with a Canon EOS M5 lately, never thought I might be into mirrorless but with the same SLR APS-C sensors and a viewfinder still I'm finding I really like it.

 

Thats the thing that really makes me struggle with buying new eqiupment, they just go obsolete so fast.

Kind of wish the digital backs for film cameras were more practical, I really liked my sisters N90s. Keep the camera, upgrade the back every couple years would be sweet.

 

yeah I know a lot of people switching over to mirrorless now. I've always used Nikon outside of work, my D800 is getting a little long in the tooth now. I just haven't felt too compelled to upgrade quite yet since I don't do much freelance anymore.

Nikon did just announce this mirrorless beast, the Z9, which is tempting, and not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be

The place nextdoor to my work does nothing but photograph furniture. Its a big thing here considering my city is the furniture capitol of the world.

 

You can get a digital back for those old timey 8x10 accordion cameras for a measly $106,000

No, no, that's Sweden.

 

False.

 

The site is even funnier than the statement TBH. I can ask anyone in all 50 states and they'll all have at least one piece of IKEA crap lying around. Even in High Point.

 

Well yeah.

Were the capitol of quality furniture. My dining table was made here, $2k new. But cause Im local and near the blemished furniture store I got it for $200.

 

Huh. Thats interesting, but who would use such a thing I wonder?

A portrait photographer that wants to own the competition probably. Some of them still use large format film for it because no matter how hard it tries, digital just can't recreate the same aesthetic that film produces. Quality is there but film grain, contrast, color etc is unique to film

 

The magic erase tool on the Pixel 6 is pretty fucking cool!!!

 

*looks at Pixel 3*

piece of crap

 

Lol, that's neat but even funnier with what it left behind

 

you mean the gravity defying chairs...

 

least yours didn't turn into a brick.

 

Now you can erase yourself from all your selfies

 

The 4th dimension camera.
