I regret selling my Pentax KF for $320 and want a newer APSC camera for my K and A Mount Lenses I can keep in the car and abuse. The CCD stuff really fucking sucks in low light to the point that if you introduce any movement it shits itself. Its fun to use in a sunny day but not practical. The K1 is too expensive and big to edc.Sony a68 or Pentax K-70? Both are like $260-300. The Sony is harder to find because its region locked so I have to buy one in America, the ones sold on buyee are Japanese only.Pentax KS2 is $140-180 off buyee too but the K-70 has better low-light performance. KF/K-70 was excellent for low light for a APSC just the AF leaves a lot to be desired. There's also a K-70 with a busted screen I could try to repair for $120 (I can get the KS2 display for $40 off Aliexpress).a68 might be cool too since my newest A-Mount camera is a 14.2mp CCD a390. a77ii is like $4-700 still and other than the plastic lens mount I won't miss anything I think. I do feel like the Pentaxes are sturdier cameras than the Sonys, especially the SLT line which half of the ones for sale have a error message or bad focus/antishake/sensors.

What are some okay lenes with at least 400mm at the longest if a zoom, under $500 on the EF, or could be adapted to the EF mount, yes this means old manual film lenses too. Before you start, YES I know they're going to be all shit unless you manage to find a 400mm f/5.6 at a robbery prices, I am just curious since I saw a Sigma 150-500 and it didn't seem too expensive.

Secondly, I have collected a lot of out of print books I want to digitize the illustrations ofI'm trying to decide between buying a flatbed scanner made for books, and buying a camera that i'd mount pointing straight down on a table or angled at the same angle the book would be at, that way I could scan books and also have a camera to use without needing to rent oneHowever, last time I borrowed a camera I tried this out with a normal tripod, an extension arm, etc, and it was kinda a finnicky mess. The arm to get the camera pointed straight down had unbalanced weight so the tripod consantly tried to tip over even when I tried to weigh it down, not to mention that the threads that fixed the camera to the arm/tripod, and the tripod itself, had no way to move in fixed angle increments to ensure I was exactly at 90 degreesSo:>Is there gear that will help for this sort of setup? >Do they make tripods and mounts that lock to specific angles? >What sort of light would I need to get even lighting for the books without casting a glare? >What type of lens is as close to possible as being totally isometric to minimize lens distortion?

Guys I'm torn. I want to get either the RF 28mm or EF 40mm pancake. Problem is I shoot both an EF SLR and an R8. 28mm and 40mm are both something I'd use. I just want a lens to chuck in a bag alongside a beeg telephoto. I use the SLR about 1/8th as much as the R8 but ngl having the 40mm for both systems is tempting as fuck. The only drawback is with the adapter I'm making the R8 bigger than it needs to be and the RF lens is way sharper. For context I have an EF 16-35mm f/4 I use on both systems regularly but it's huge and not always ideal to pack that along with my EF 70-200 f/4The EF lens is about half the price of the RF 28mm, but it gets such good reviews I feel like I'd be a retard to get the old EF lens over it. So basically do I just give up and get the EF lens so it fits both systems or do I get the RF lens because of the extra small package and super dooper sharp results? >inb4 buy both No, I have enough shit as it is, I just can't make a choice and would like some input on the matter.

At what point do you give up on problematic lenses? I've had a lens give me two distinct issues that required two repair jobs while it was under warranty.

How significant of a difference is there between the z50 and the z5ii in terms of low light autofocus performance, EVF clarity, and ease of use? I'm interested in upgrading, but I'm also afraid of having too similar of an experience, considering the z50 isn't that old, both are 21-24MP, and many example images between modern crop and FF look very similar. So, I'm not expecting the photos themselves to be radically different. For the money, I need to be able to feel the difference in use. Right now, the challenges I face with my z50 that I hope would be resolved with the z5ii: >Poor AF performance in low light using any aperture other than f/1.8 >I can't distinguish what's in sharp focus using the EVF without zooming, and even then it turn out muddied on review of the exposure >Moving the focus point takes too long, especially for posed shots of non-models >My hands aren't the steadiest, so non-VR lenses on my no-IBIS z50 aren't working with me Things I'm uncertain of how I'll feel about once I get to experience it >The focal length difference of dropping from an effective 75mm to 50mm I only have 2 lenses.

How is the Lumix G3 for stills? Yes I can imagine the m43 spergout incoming. I see them for like $130 in good condition and it has if I understand correctly a zoom in feature for the evf to help with manual focus. It wouldn't be replacing any cameras, I would basically just using it as a host to use manual telephoto's on birds. Obviously a E-M5 would be better due to the 5 axis IBIS, and the E-M10 due to having focus peaking, but those are over 2x the price.

I have a Canon EOS R and am looking to upgrade, mainly because i find the auto focus to be slow and quite inaccurate. I'm mainly looking at either the R6 mark III or the R5 mark II. I do print photos, though generally not anything huge. The extra megapixels would be nice for cropping in as well as just being more of an upgrade but I'm not entirely sure its worth the extra $1k+. Money isnt really an issue but its just a hobby for me and i do go periods where i barely shoot or simply don't at all. The better viewfinder on the R5 is also a pull. Anyone that has used both would be the best, any suggestions would be welcome.Side question, i have an EF 70-200 f2.8 II and have been looking at getting the original RF 70-200 f2.8 due to the size and weight difference and not needing the adapter. I was offered $660 trade in for my current lens and the shop has an essentially new model (guy bough a full canon setup and shot ~1k pictures then brought it all back and went leica) for $2150, out the door I'd be paying $1600 tax included. Is that worth it or should i try to sell my lens myself for the full ~1k? My lens is in more or less perfect condition, still have the bag it came in as well.

I saw a thread on the DPreview forums with a guy complaining about how he could focus fine at f/1.2 - 2 on his Zf, but using f/8 wasn't getting focus at all. The commenters referred him to the Maximum Aperture Lv setting, which only a few of the Z series has. So, my question: Does the Z5ii have anything in it that makes it superior to other Z cameras in regards to low light photography? My Z50 is useless focusing at anything higher than f/2.0 in the normal conditions I shoot. Am I going to run into the same issues after upgrading to the Z5ii before (if) they add Maximum Aperture Lv in a firmware update? Low light struggles are my main reason for wanting to upgrade.
