phone cameras have been great for so long time that i havent even thought about owning dlsr

"a daily photo of the 101"

good enough for me i guess

they just cost so much

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

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

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

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

like serious photography hobby

like real autism club

well it was mostly grils but yeah

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

>going out
>to make photos

it seems like canon/nikon lenses seem to go on sale every week

while m43 lenses get one sale a year

>literally leaving your home as a hobby

>not grinding and lapping your own lenses

>not buying modern chink replicas of lenses https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1190008-REG/mitakon_zhongyi_mtk25mf095bk_speedmaster_25mm_f_0_95_lens.html

i really should go and buy some classic lenses

they're overpriced in taiwan though

these russian lenses that go for $30-40 in the states are $80-$100 here

figures, i guess

can you use an american paypal to ship to another country?

my paypal is linked to an address in the states

depends on the sellers choice

got some ed12

gonna see how they stack up against the ate

i love chifi you never know if it's gonna be crap or good but you don't care because it cost like $10

i found some piston 3s a few weeks ago, the jack was rusted and i had to clean it with alcohol, but damn do they sound good for $12

first actual pair of chink IEMs

my headphone collection has pretty much just become "pre-walkman" and chifi

no more sennheiser, stopped thinking about buying beyers

chifi, heh

I'm still going on my sennheiser MM70s i bought four years ago

they've been through the washing machine twice

also >mfw audiophools pay $$$$ for dac >build a dac measurably just as good for $20

mfw i just use the onboard sound

i mean tbh unless poor design that's fine these days

audio dacs are a Solved Technology you can buy an ic for a couple bucks that does it all perfectly within the entire range of human hearing

my father's in the audio recording business and he said they're fine these days

the box you put the board in is the most expensive part of an audio dac
