Mike Crivello's Cameras 262-782-4303

Fortunately, there will always be those that value authenticity. Those are the people and companies we need to do business and associate with.
For the working photographer, it will be (already is) a critical connection.

yeahhhh, I know and you make completely valid points. But darn it, I want you to be wrong! ;)

Anything that AI "replaces" will not really be Art. It can't be by its very nature.
As long as humans are alive they'll be creative.
LLM output might try and push into the space alongside it but it won't replace it because it can't. Art has meaning. LLM output is just trying to replicate aesthetics.

Awesome camera though. Tack sharp glass.

that display GIVES ME THE FEELS, man.

OK, I dig. I know I've encountered other cameras where, yeah, my fingers and the buttons do NOT like one another.

we will fight fight fight that notion to the last breath.
To be human is to be creative; to give that up to an algorithm a LLM an Ai...is a pitiful sacrifice of one's humanness to the plagiarism machine.

ughhhhh, I just hate hate hate hate hate hate Ai imagery. IT ISN'T REAL for heck's sake. What's the point of doing photography, if a person's just gonna make fake stuff?

yeah, it's in great shape!

I can bet that the AF isn't zippy, but the buttons too small? Seem push-able enough to me! :)

OMG Look What Showed Up In Used: #RicohGR1s #35mmFilmCamera. Call us to get the price... #StreetPhotography

good reply thread here from Steve. Togs of all experience levels should check it out...

and what do you think that "differently" is?

agreed! That lens is nice and pretty great when stopped down to f8. :)

Before the #RicohGR camera went to a APS-C sensor, there werrrre a few generations out in the field...like this GUY!
There have been 11 generations of the GR/GRX since 2005, and the 10MP, 28mm aov GR Digital IV was the 4th gen.

Putting a vintage M42 screw mount lens onto a #Microfourthirds camera is pretty cool. :) #OlympusMFT #OMSystem #Fotodiox

It's Bluesky, friends; people block rather than fight. Shake it off and move on.

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to.

My 9 year old does active shooter drills and knows the government is kidnapping her friends and their parents

MODE by Flickr: The World’s Photography Festival For decades, photography has shaped fashion, music, journalism, sports, activism, and the internet itself. Yet the people behind the lens have never had a festival built for them. Until now.

BIG RESTECP to #FLICKR for bringing their upcoming #PhotoFestival to #MINNEAPOLIS!

hahaha, that is NICE. #SOTU #StateOfTheUnion

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh

Why spend $13K on a #SonyEmount 400/2.8, when you could use a #Pentax M42 400/5.6 with #Fotodiox adapter combo for about $150??
Into #MacroPhotography? Put a #Hasselblad #MakroPlanar on your #NikonZ8! #BirdPhotographers should consider the #MinoltaMD 100-200/5.6 on their #OMSystemOM1ii!

Or you could put this #Pentax M42 135/3.5 onto a #microfourthirds camera, and make it a 270mm equivalent!
Or do some low-light situations on your #SonyA7IV with a #CanonFD 50/1.4! Or go to that same sitch with a Pentax 55/1.8 and a #CanonR6ii!

You all knooooow I love #Fotodiox adapters and the way they open up possibilities for #MirrorlessCamera users! Here's a few combinations that are possible with what's in our stock and Used Dept...
How about putting a vintage #Nikon lens on a #CanonR5?
Or a vintage #LeicaM lens on a #NikonZ9?

Psych: Do you find that you are often late for things?

Me: Never!

Psych: Thats good [starts writing]

Me: I am always early, sometimes I will have to sit in my car for an hour.

Psych: [scratches out what he just wrote].

A picture of mangroves where branches and roots become each other a tangle of branches crowding the sandy floor and trunks rising up behind them. The photo is in B&W, but originally in color.

Mangroves in Mexico. This was taken from a boat and isn't the sharpest, but I was enjoying the light. Minolta Alpha 7 and the Zeiss 50 on Gold converted to B&W.

NEW IN USED - some #Leica gear!! #LeicaVlux #LeicaVlux4 #LeicaR4 #FilmPhotography
