I wanted one, too expensive for me
At least he can measure how dark.Aye, but he's stuck in the dark ages.......joking
No thanks, I have shot everything from weddings to sports and my customers from individuals to magazines and publications are happy without my knowing, but then it is a personal choice, and I can still shoot images without metering, as we did in the days before built in meters.
I also use non AF lenses, I suppose people will say that is out too, just like vinyl is dead, oh; or is it
Me too. I just find a 5x4 camera and cut film a tiny bit inconvenient these days. Still: each to his own, eh?Hmm, NO insult intended but I like to take photographs
Apart from the settings remaining static once you've input them, what are the benefits of using manual over aperture priority/shutter priority?
None whatsoever.Apart from the settings remaining static once you've input them, what are the benefits of using manual over aperture priority/shutter priority?
Ease. I find it easier - set the aperture for DoF then bring the shutter speed up or down in histogram live view
None whatsoever.
And the advantage of using a hand held meter - none... .
Very few, if any.
You haven't answered my question above in post #46.Are you new to photography, if you believe there are no benefits in using Manual I suggest you read up on it
And there will be many who would agree with Phil.There are many professional world wide photographers who would make the necessary comment on what you said and laugh
Is there a point to all this?
I'm not seeing it.

Nothing new there then.I did, read a book or google it, argue with these, I already know and I have both the experience and knowledge to use manual and not rely on auto

Good!especially from you
I can't even be bothered to reply from now

You dont need to tell people when you ignore them, just do itJust found the ignore button YEY!
I get what you're saying, but within 2 stops, I can do that in aperture mode using exposure compensation.Ease. I find it easier - set the aperture for DoF then bring the shutter speed up or down in histogram live view
No. For many years I had no choice but to use manual. If you reread my post, I said there were few if any benefits to using manual mode rather than one of the automatic options, not that there are none.
And just as many that would agree with me - and almost all of them would consider you ignorant for that remark.There are many professional world wide photographers who would make the necessary comment on what you said and laugh

Should you be reported for cross posting?No thanks, I have shot everything from weddings to sports and my customers from individuals to magazines and publications are happy without my knowing, but then it is a personal choice, and I can still shoot images without metering, as we did in the days before built in meters.

And I use THESE (Cross) to write, you know, that thing we did before texting

(I rarely VERY rarely EVER shoot in anything other than manual, is that also wrong)
It's a timehole.What is it?
They do make great pens.And I use THESE (Cross) to write, you know, that thing we did before texting
I get what you're saying, but within 2 stops, I can do that in aperture mode using exposure compensation.
If I need more than +2/-2 I would switch to manual.
If you need to use exposure compensation why not just use manual as essentially A priority then adjusting using exposure compensation is the same thing.
Yes - it's essentially the same thing - so why do you care which he chooses?
I could, but I find it easier to do it the way I do it.If you need to use exposure compensation why not just use manual as essentially A priority then adjusting using exposure compensation is the same thing.
I think you mean it makes it easier for the way you shoot - OTOH I kinda agree with Bob, I can shoot consistently much quicker in A mode and having compared my Raw's to a few M shooters I'm very confident that my way works better (not just for me)Care is a strong way to put it - discussing the ways to do it. The build of most bodies make it easier to use M mode than A then fiddle with the exposure compensation button I find.
I’ve been baited into this thread.
