RE: World of XPILAR - B&W PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #071 ~ My Entry
Lately I've been shooting with manual lenses almost all the time. But these are mainly Soviet old optics such as Helios or OKS. Now I want to find a wide angle lens of the same type, but I just can't find the right one.
Can you show this photo in RAW format?
What camera system do you use? I shoot in jpg and RAW but I only use the RAW if I need to do major edits like recovering a blown-out sky... otherwise, I find the jpegs are fine. I can't show you a RAW version, I don't think that's even possible since you always have to convert to jpg to publish. If I'm happy with my results, the RAW files get deleted in order to save space. I think you'll find many Fuji shooters like to stick with the jpg files and use Fuji film simulation modes. I haven't really explored those much myself but I'll get around to it soon.
SONY A7M2 is my main camera. I always shoot RAW and make adjustments to Lightroom.
I don't like automatic jpeg settings. For Instagram, they may be good, but I love the softer handling.
I didn't mean RAW format, of course, but just a photo without processing.
Your Sony is a great camera. I'm shooting mostly with my Fuji X-T4 and occasionally with my wife's Olympus e-m10 mark iii. I will at some point post some straight-out-of-camera photos.
You have a good modern camera with excellent stabilization. By the way, the OKS 1-22-1 lens does not completely cover my matrix, but it will perfectly fit your camera. If you can find such a lens, I recommend giving it a try. It's very cheap. It is from old cinema technology and has excellent characteristics. (you can also look for OKS 1-50-6, which is also very good, or Helios 77m-4, very interesting boke
It's interesting to look at your pictures directly from the camera, I'm waiting :)
That's very cool, thanks for the info!
You are welcome :)
