A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Brand change regret? (alien.top)

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve used many different brands of cameras since I started photography; I won’t list them because there have been many. In 2016, photography kinda lost its magic to me so I decided to buy a Fujifilm X-T10 just because. That camera, for whatever reason made photography fun again and I can’t explain why. However, that joy was short lived as I discovered Lightroom’s terrible rendering of the X-Trans filter, giving certain textures a watercolor effect. Lightroom was the only program I was using at the time and to me, the errors were distracting enough so I ended up going M43. Fast forward to today and I’ve switched to using ON1 and it renders my old Fuji files just fine, and now I’m longing for my little X-T10. All that being said, anyone else regret or long for a past camera you didn’t appreciate at the time?

I tried the Olympus OM D 10(?) or something like that and while weight and convenience were great, I just didn't like it. I really do not want to look at a screen to frame my shot, it's interpreted and I don't like it. I went back to my 5D/2 and picked up a 5DS/r and am happy again.
