<p>Thank you for responds but I need more exact infos.</p> <p>Im a film shooter so operating film camera won't be a problem. </p> <p>Are there any advantages of using electronic shutter instead of mechanical shutter? I heard that mechanical shutter is not that accurate compare to electronic shutter. </p> <p>Btw are there any shutter issues?</p>

<p>I have Pentax Me Super but it's malfunctioning so I was looking for another film camera and I found that Nikkormat FT2 was very useful that I rented it from my school.<br> <br />I like it so much but I have no idea about FT and EL series. Lenses are confusing too. I just need fine 50mm f1.4 or 1.8 prime lens(not too old version). Not sure if 50mm 1.4 ai lens is a good choice or not.</p> <p>I just know that FT has fully mechanical shutter and EL has half mech and electro shutter. I still don't see any advantages of using battery powered film camera instead of fully mechanical film camera. </p> <p>Can anyone help me about FT and EL bodies? </p>

<p>Im going to shoot small beetles in the studio but my Canon 100mm need to be very close to object which is an issue. Because of the distance between a beetle and camera lens, the lighting is very limited and can't even control lighting equipments well. So Im thinking to get a macro accessory to attach it to Canon macro lens. I know that there are several options but for me, I just want to increase the distance between a beetle and camera so that I can control lighting equipments. Any suggestion?</p>

<p>Since the roll paper's width is 10 inch, I set the custom size 10X8 from Photoshop to print but the printer prints 10X9 or 10X10. Even I change the setting, it still prints like that. How could this happen?</p>

<p>Im thinking to get either Epson or Canon printer for selling printed images and printing my own portfolio.</p> <p>I used Epson Stylus Pro 4900 a lot from the lab for at least 2 years. I knew that Canon make their own printer but Im not sure what they are superior of or just personal taste. </p> <p>At least I didn't like any of Canon papers personally but Epson papers. </p> <p>Epson Stylus Pro 4900(Maybe), Epson P800, or Canon Pro-1000 are my choices. </p> <p>Since I used Epson printers only, are there any advantages or superior facts for Canon printer? </p>

<p>They are same specs except for GPU. So what's the different? Your link is not trust worthy site at all. </p>

<p>Base on which chart? The link that I provided show that classic Mac pro perform much better than iMac 5k one. </p>

<p>http://create.pro/blog/mac-pro-51-4k-monitor-vs-imac-5k-create-pro-face/ <br> Since I usually use Adobe programs, multi cores cpu is much better option. </p>

<p>I don't trust that chart at all cause I used iMac 5k several times in my school but it didn't even perform well compare to the standard Mac Pro model. Also, Im talking about the price too. iMac 27inch with that spec is way more expansive than my budget which is impossible. I already have 27inch adobe RGB monitor so iMac is out of my option already. Mobile GPU is not enough.</p>

<p>Phil/ Well I don't want to buy iMac tho. At least CPU and GPU can not be even compare with iMac series at all. Not even full upgraded iMac is not satisfying specs especially with CPU and GPU. </p>

<p>I wasn't interesting in cMac Pro till my college give out a lot of cMac Pro and classic Mac monitors to illustrator students... Yeah, that's steal. </p> <p>So, I start researching about cMac Pro and I think it would be a great desktop since I only have Macbook pro 15inch. It does perform well but it always overheating itself and does not perform better than I expected. Masking was very laggy that I can't use it properly. </p> <p>Base on my research this is what I expect to have.</p> <p>CPU: 2X Intel Xeon 2.66ghz 6 cores<br> Case: 2012 mid, 5.1 version<br> GPU: Nvidia GTA 760<br> RAM: 32gb <br> SSD: Samsung(Not sure which but it will be either 250 or 500gb)<br> PCIE: USB 3.0 port</p> <p>Price range will be between $1000~$2000 but $1500 would be max. Some people told me that my max price is impossible to get what I want but it is possible unless I have money right now to purchase those parts and Mac Pro. Well, I would prefer to buy a cMac Pro with similar spec to prevent any other issues.</p> <p>I do worry about the life spans of cMac Pro but it seems that people using it well so far. All parts and computer will be purchased in Ebay or Craigslist.</p> <p>As you can expect, I usually use Adobe Photoshop and LR. Might gonna use Premier Pro for video editing. </p> <p>Any thought about this set up? Or is it too much for me? </p>

<p>Jeff Spirer/ That explained a lot about my questions. </p>

<p>I saw a lot of Canon and Nikon cameras from Rio Olympic and I start wondering about photographers who use either Canon and Nikon system. Beside Nikon, Canon has a reputation of worst sensor compare to Nikon and Sony so far but I still see a lot of photographers and people using Canon DSLR. Well, I thought Sony sensors are way more superior than Canon sensor tho. I do have 5d mark 3 which has poor DR range but still useable for all purposes. I would like to know the percentage of Canon, Nikon, and Sony in camera industry and why photographers and people prefer Canon and Nikon system over Sony system.</p>

<p>Are there any big differences between the base model and pro model?</p>

<p>Jos/ Ummm what do you mean?</p>

<p>I wish to get Wacom intous pro medium size but it's too expansive that I can't afford to buy it. I usually used for photoshop and lightroom but I really feel that I need a tablet for retouching work. There are some cheaper versions but some photographers told me those are totally trash. Should I just get a cheaper version? </p>

<p>I think I need more options to search for models but Only Model mayhem and Craigslists are the best choice but I heard that the model agency is exist which I never know about it. Are there any other sites for searching models instead of MM and CL?</p>

<p>I wonder if the photographer work at specific company or brand for portrait business or work by themselves and then get portrait session request from the company or brand.</p>

<p>Fashion photographers seem to have distinguish color tone compare to any other photographers. Well other photographers who have their own color tone is quite impressive. </p> <p>I've been using LR for several years but I feel it's time to know how to edit for color tone with photoshop. </p> <p>Any advises? </p>

<p>At least the basic performance is require to take pics since it's DSLR. </p>

<p>Any thoughts? Currently, I'm using K-5 for 5 years and still have disappointing about AF accuracy and speed especially for recomposing that I usually get blur images with 16-50mm(Optical quality is not good at F2.8). I never ever used other AF points cause I can't rely on it that much due to AF accuracy. <br> Well, after 5 years, Pentax K-1 is finally showed up. Any thought about K-1's AF performance?</p>

<p>Well, I just realized that my edu email will be expire after I graduate from my college. That shocked me a lot since I'm having my own mailing list and email addresses from models, friends, professors, and etc. </p> <p>I still have few years left but I would like to create my own business or personal email address as a photographer but I would like to know what to do and not to do.</p>

<p>It is the first time visiting Maryland and I'm looking for the campsite for sleeping and shooting star trail. Near the pond or river would be nice.</p>

<p>Andrew/ I figured out that Godox system does not support anything for Pentax cameras at all. I found that Adorama Flash Point transmitter provide what I need it but I just want to know if that transmitter works with any other wireless speed light without a receiver or not. If it does, I would go for Cactus RF60 or Bolt VS-570P. </p>
