what do you guys use professional cameras for

2017-06-12 20:22:55 UTC  

I could get an EOS 40D for more or less 70-100$ in Germany

2017-06-12 20:22:59 UTC  

i havent even thought owning one for long time

2017-06-12 20:23:09 UTC  

i've considered throwing money at one

2017-06-12 20:23:15 UTC  

yeah, i dunno if i should have gone sony or m43, but the m-5 was a hundred and fifty bucks cheaper than the comparable sony model when i was shopping

2017-06-12 20:23:28 UTC  

@Tribit It's 5.5 inch, dunno if he'll accept smaller than his note 3

2017-06-12 20:24:27 UTC  

"a daily photo of the 101"

2017-06-12 20:24:30 UTC  

good enough for me i guess

2017-06-12 20:24:50 UTC  

they just cost so much

2017-06-12 20:25:06 UTC  

even low-end Real Cameras have the advantage of being really super easy to mount on a tripod or even a crazy boom arm for crazy angles

2017-06-12 20:25:13 UTC  

i'm a lazy fuck so i've stuck with aperture priority mostly

2017-06-12 20:25:47 UTC  

also especially for fansy slrs you get fancy features and modularity you dont see in phones

2017-06-12 20:25:53 UTC  

i had photography as real hobby for long time when i was younger

2017-06-12 20:26:00 UTC  

like serious photography hobby

2017-06-12 20:26:04 UTC  

like real autism club

2017-06-12 20:26:11 UTC  

well it was mostly grils but yeah

2017-06-12 20:26:28 UTC  

the modularity is great but i really should have checked how expensive lenses were for each platform before buying

2017-06-12 20:26:34 UTC  

>going out
>to make photos

2017-06-12 20:26:38 UTC

2017-06-12 20:26:45 UTC  

while m43 lenses get one sale a year

2017-06-12 20:26:47 UTC  

>literally leaving your home as a hobby

2017-06-12 20:26:58 UTC  

>not grinding and lapping your own lenses

2017-06-12 20:28:11 UTC  

i really should go and buy some classic lenses

2017-06-12 20:28:23 UTC  

they're overpriced in taiwan though

2017-06-12 20:28:41 UTC

2017-06-12 20:29:15 UTC

2017-06-12 20:30:07 UTC

2017-06-12 20:30:11 UTC

2017-06-12 20:32:10 UTC
