Hello,

I hope this is the best place to come for help



What kind of camera is used here , or what can you guys recommend ca get pretty close to that type of quality

Or something like this



This dude videos hopping off the screen

I want to start to create content and I don't wanna use cheap everyday looking cameras

Thanks

I agree with A30, in addition I believe Unbox therapy , he has somewhere on his channels the gear he uses I'm sure.

Yea, and Sony is lacking in a ton of lenses for its systems, yet they insist on releasing new cams yearly. You think your A9 is the shyt? 6 months later, A9s. 8 months later, A10.
Its kind of dope they pump out cameras regularly, but it doesn't seem like they double down on existing things.

I got into fuji off the strength of what the x100F offers me, and the fact they do regular firmware upgrades for cameras. Also, the jpegs:letyasoulglow:
thankfully the adaptors for Sony let you use damn near any lens. Only thing those adaptors be taxing heavy too lol

:francis:Speaking of Adapters, got mine in the mail thanks to Based Bezos:letyasoulglow: Strapped this Soligor 24-45 Macro lens on my xt-10...:francis:

Lens isn't coated for lighting:russ:Everything is soft and lacks contrast:russ:I'm about to take this shyt to a camera guy and see if there is a physical reason for this, cause the
shyt I see on flickr and the images I have been getting are worlds apart.:francis:I have two adapters already but if this the type of shyt I gotta deal with, I might just make do with official
lenses.

Thats that manual focus wave too , more power to ya :wow:




Suggestions for a 28-35mm for my A7ii?

Unless you trying to spend over $1k that Sony 28-70 might be your best bet for full frame. I love my Sony 35 f1.8 buts its a for E mount not FE mount.

Y'all know what pisses me off? Lightroom, Adobe really out here finessing us by just letting us rent their programs now days. I'm still tight that I can't pay one solid fee to own the program. I'm about to find a crack for this shyt.

You can also do like me and hit up the open source alternatives like Darkroom. Adobe won't see a penny from me until the day I can monetize my work. Business don't wanna hear that you know of an alternative program, but the skills are easily transferable. Also if you dig a program enough, tossing a donation should be no issue. Adobe out here hoeing creators.

That familiarity doesn't transfer tho, and that's why Adobe has most by the balls
True. Mindshare over the customer base is a mothafukka. Like I said, if I'm making money, I'll switch. With Gimp alone I have most of the functionality of Photoshop, and
some it does not have. Only true issues that arise are how Gimp and Photoshop process colors...if I was given a photo assignment to work with originating from photoshop,
I might get hold of it in Gimp and the shades of red are completely different, causing me to fukk up the work if I'm working on something with the full Adobe color pallete.


Adobe can eat a dikk. They are on my shyt list for how bloated FLASH got.
