The XT5 is essentially the same amount of detail as a cheap common camera ie: d750, ricoh gr
But throw in a mild AI upscale and NR/smoothing or they look slightly different zoomed in to admire the bigfoot in the background

The actual reason to buy it is to get updated AF/video and a tilty screen on a fuji with IBIS.

>>4308575
yeah, I'd put it pretty on par, if not slightly better than 24-26mp ff in terms of detail for low iso
lens ultimately matters more for actual resolved detail in either case though
the af alone was reason enough for me going from a t3

>>4308581
Some faglord tested it at the sensor level, no lens (most fuji lenses are mediocre compared to nikon S/canon L/sony GM anyways). It's actually the exact same, just bigger.

>>4308583
any link to that test?
im just going off my own shooting and test comparisons, but always welcome new information
i also agree most fuji lenses are mediocre compared to other good glass, but there are still some solid options

This explains why a film me and my friends could make for 10k or less costs 100k or more if Hollywood makes it.

I always thought it was the costs of permits but the costs of hiring union workers to press play also explains why costs are so high too.

>Lol that lens does not have soft focus, so you just missed it completely
you can have soft focus by just focusing on anything other than the subject. . .

>>4308577
99% of soft focus photos either used a special lens, or a filter medium (vaseline, hairspray, actual filter, etc) because defocus does other, weird things and just looks shaky with most lenses

From the samples I've seen wet mounting is probably not worth it with a flatbed, though you need something to keep the negative off the glass to avoid newton rings. With 4x5 you should get loads of resolution, more than DSLR unless you stitch like >>4303591 That's a big difference between DSLR and scanner; with a scanner resolution increases with negative size, while with DSLR every negative gets the same resolution.
I myself have purchased an "unrepair" (returned) ender 3 with the goal of stitching DSLR scans of my 6x17s like that other anon, but haven't got around to mounting the DSLR on it yet. These maybe-broken printers are shockingly cheap and I am impressed with how sturdy it is. Stay tuned.

>>4308275
>99cri
Also btw I'm pretty convinced this is pointless wank for scanning, with the possible exception of slide film but maybe even then. CRI is about how close all the different colors in a scene match what you would see with your eyes under daylight. But negative film is never meant to be viewed with your eyes under daylight and when you're scanning film there are only 3 colors (cyan, magenta, yellow dyes) that you're trying to capture for digital processing. A lower CRI might even improve channel separation. I'll be using a $13 light box and see how that goes.

It ain't much but it gets the job done. I need a extension tube so I can use more than 1/4 of the sensor.

>>4308278
The 3D printer is definitely an easier way to do stitching, I’m the other anon you mentioned. I haven’t made progress yet since I decided to drop the magic arm mount for something more stiff, but haven’t come up with something yet. Should be easy enough to do on an ender 3, remove the hotend and bolt a clamp/ball head into it. The only issue I can foresee for you is the much heavier weight of the camera setup chewing up your POM wheels, but I’m not certain. Little tip I discovered from my 3D printer dicking around, don’t remove the homing end stops unless you want to have it smash and grind on itself before you pull the plug lol. Not printing but still need them if your printer is setup to home before you can move it

Here's what I came up with. No ballhead, I just drilled some holes in a board and attached it where the hotend used to be with the pre-tapped m3 threads and the camera with a 1/4" bolt. I shifted the Z stop up so that the lens can't crash into the plate (had to make a little extension wire) and homing works fine.
I did some test shots where I took a picture, moved 5mm in x and 5mm in y, then back to the old position and take another shot. It's just a few px off which I figure is good enough. The red dot is the same pixel coordinates to show how close it is getting the scratch at the same position. I calculated this as equivalent 3300 DPI. The light source is a $12 tracing table with two layers of ground glass on top to smooth it out. Honestly hardware-wise this was super easy.

To make this good I figure I need to
- get a better lens (currently have an old chinon 50mm with tubes)
- brighter light source (currently at 1s exposure which I'm sure will cause motion blur)
- power cable for the camera (if the battery goes dead I'll have to remove the camera which will mess up any manual alignment/focus I've done)
- buy some film holder instead of just taping it to the ground glass
- write an "autofocus" script that takes pictures at various Z offsets and picks out the sharpest one
- write a script to take all the pictures, calling pktriggercord and writing the gcode commands to the serial port
- write a script to merge all the pictures (maybe using some of the panotools components?) and puts it in a format I can feed into darktable/rawtherapee

Ideally those last three would be some general purpose utility that you just run and it does the scan. Might not get to it for a while but this is definitely showing promise.

All while thinking he's testing gear in a demanding situation. Really fine details like eyebrow hair and clothing are the great torture test for camera gear, and that's where you can find out the anti-sharpness gearfags are just street sign building corner snappers and the "soulless sharpness" gearfags are actually photographing sexy women and tired of their photos looking like hazy dreamy shit.

>>4308470
XDDDDD

>>4308537
>lines and edges
It's low frequency detail like a brick wall, who cares. Take a photo of a white woman. Blonde, ideally. Wearing nice fabric. Frame filling, head on one edge third, feet on another edge third, subject NOT centered. The way the eyebrows, hair, and eyelashes come out and the amount of fuckups on the clothing texture change the entire feel of the photo, and hard light can't round off the edginess you wanted, and it's when portraiture goes beyond drivers license shots like this when you wish you spent $100 less on your meme larp box and bought a $35 EOS system and a decent EF lense.

Why DO photographers suddenly get so pissy if i do something that reveals that worse cameras are worse? Its like begging a sportscar owner to slow down.

Photography isnt even a real skill you can get good at like driving. Look at all the galleries garry winogrand and steven shore are in.

>>4308532
>>4308530
Only photographers say these "stahps" because there comes a time when one is very invested and satisfied with things that become viewed as inferior and borderline useless and get outdone by a toy/phone in the future decades down the line.

As someone with cameras from 1" to FF and 6mp to 45mp, FF and 45MP does matter just for normal person snapshots and there's no real argument against this but cope because it's expensive and some retard cant afford it after dropping $6k on fujifilm kit. In fact, the sony a7cr, the 24/40/50 mini primes, and the truncated zooms sony is releasing are the ideal pieces of camera gear for normies.

ONLY photographers will cope to the contrary

nice thread, faggot

>>4308002
>spots of color dye are better than digital!
Color film interpolates color via spots of dye of varying size and density. It has 3-4 dyes to work with, and a dye is one color. It's bound by grain/dye spot size which is why film tonality and color fidelity are tied so closely to film size, and to ISO for a given film size. At 35mm size it's easy to spot tonal and color transitions that are not smooth, grainy, and/or blocked up, even at low ISO. It's also easy to find colors which the film simply cannot distinguish and record. Film works very much like a modern inkjet printer in this respect.

Digital pixels are analog before the ADC and are bound by noise. On modern sensors a single pixel can record 16k distinct tones at base ISO. A piece of film the same size as that pixel would be lucky to record a few tones (B&W) or colors. Digital has to look to neighboring pixels to reconstruct the exact color at any given point, but it works very well given the depth of information. The result is that at base ISO even small sensors can yield accurate colors and smooth transitions. In this respect digital works like your retina.

When measured good FF sensors have tonality and color fidelity (gamut and accuracy) superior to film. You need 6x9 to even compete and 4x5 to be close enough that viewers will never notice in a large print no matter the subject.

Note that color fidelity is not the same as color palette or "I like these colors." Films are designed to yield a certain look while RAW is made to be flat and neutral, leaving the look up to you. As an example, Velvia's palette is magic under the right circumstances. Portra can also be beautiful under the right circumstances. But neither can compete with FF digital on gamut or accuracy, even when using a larger format.

>>4308008
Foveon ironically has has lower color fidelity than Bayer sensors due to noise. But there are large areas of its color gamut where it can resolve finer spatial detail (assuming identical pixel density, not their 3x MP rating). It's also sharper ooc for lack of interpolation and lack of an AA filter. A Bayer sensor at 1.5x the true MP pretty much matches it in all respects, and fully matches it by 2x.

The other aspect to Foveon is this: Sigma makes sure that their cameras produce a "look" similar to E6 slide films which is popular and plays into their marketing. Even with RAW you have to pull back on some settings to try and get to neutral. That's not inherent to three layer sampling, it's a conscious choice with the sensor color profiling.

>>4308431
I should add that at the edge of the sensor's gamuts there can be some colors that Sigma nails but Bayer struggles with. So there are places where Sigma's gamut is larger, but also places where Bayer's is larger. Over most of the gamut...the overlapping part...Bayer can distinguish more colors and therefore has higher accuracy.

>>4308431
So it's perfect for a film larp digicam

>>4308382
Too bad the electronics could simply shit the bed one day without warning, otherwise I'd buy a T2

I've bought a Canon M6 Mark 2 two years ago and, fot telephoto lenses, I've been using the ef-s 55-250mm with an adapter. Lately, this set is failing to focus and I have to restart the camera to work again. Been thinking about buying a EF-M 55-200mm. Does it worth to lose 50mm in focal lenght in exchange of being a native lenses for the camera?

>>4308400
it sounds like the focus motor is dying, and another copy of the same lens would work fine. just buy it with a return policy in case it's actually the electronics in your adapter failing and both do the same thing.

Where can I see some well taken examples of what an AA filter does to the image without it being some faggot youtuber, with YouTube compression, no RAWs, and handheld shots of moving subjects or stuff?

I'm looking for the ultra nit picky result difference for purposes of like film scanning, document capture in copy stand, etc. Not some idiot missing focus by a few mm in some telephoto example and attributing the blurred image to the AA filter.

>>4308506
I can not fathom what usage of a "AA filter" would ever, ever have. What would you use it for?

>>4308506
Most OLPFs do literally fucking nothing and I think canon's are mostly to aid the DPAF system

When cameras were lower resolution and OLPFs were stronger it sorta mattered, but between a d800e and a d800 you can't really tell most of the time and cameras have only gotten higher resolution since then

>>4308424
Zoom in and walk further away

>>4308416
You need an 50/85mm 1.2/1.8 lens

>>4308424
It’s somewhat doable with small sensor cameras, but you have to manipulate the environment more. The owl has to come out much further from the wall, increase separation etc. but there’s a practical limit where you won’t get the same results as a larger sensor camera. And don’t use smart phones as a benchmark, because nowadays their depth of field photos are all calculated and done with software. My iPhone even let you get rid of background blurring, or make it extremely blurred after you take the photo, because it’s all an algorithm.

>>4308424
If you want to cheat, blur the background using software on the computer.
The cheapest setup to accomplish this "for real" is a camera with an APS-C sensor and a 50mm f/1.8 lens.
Here come people telling you that you need full frame, and other people saying 50mm is too narrow for general photography on APS-C, and they are technically both right, but I'm telling you what's cheap.

You need big hole that is close to subject

Another vote for the Zeiss 55mm. It's a little expensive for a #50mm f/1.8 but the performance is far above many of the cheaper alternatives, it's up there with the f/1.4s and in return you get a more compact and lighter lens. I also don't shoot video but others say it's good for that, it focuses quickly and silently in AF and in MF there's no lag.

their recent releases are just overpriced models of what already came out, barely any changes, that's all

And this is why men complain about women going after chads and such. Have some sense of style. Have some dignity in dressing well.

When I go for a hike, and I go out with my 600mm lens and camera, I don't go out looking to impress anyone. I go out to protect my gear, protect my skin from elements, and no care what other people think because I do what's going to be comfortable for me.

I'm telling you this as someone who works in a trade that also requires such level of comfort and above normal than average safety or else I suffer or die if I simply put surface level looks or appeal over practicality.
