Photo of my cat

I'm looking to get a new 35mm camera and I'm a bit torn. One side of me wants to get something hipster-ish like a Zenit, which are very cheap in my country (eastern Europe) and another side of me wants to get something Western like Canon, Olympus, Pentax, you name it.
I know that the Western brands are pretty much objectively better in terms of quality, but the Soviet shit attracts me a lot.
Can anyone relate? I'm not sure to what extent the aesthetics/history of a camera weigh up against quality, system availability/adaptability etc.. My heart tells me to get something Soviet but it feels a bit weird.

Full Frame >>>>> ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

No.3596785 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
I never knew Full Frame was so much better than APSC.

First there is less noise.

And the most important part: The bokeh is much more noticeable.

I used to shoot with a Nikon D7000 + 35mm 1.8g DX.
Now I've gone to a Nikon D750 + 50mm 1.8 D

People here told me the 35mm 1.8 on APSC was equivalent to 50mm 1.8 on FF.

I had to manually add more blur on Photoshop with the D7000 + 35mm 1.8g to make my photos look more professional.

Now with a Full Frame and a 50mm 1.8 D I no longer need to do it anymore, the out of focus bokeh looks very blurry.

I fell sorry for the m4/3 users who have a tiny sensor and even less bokeh.

Expired Film

No.3604734 ViewReplyOriginalReport
So I've stumbled across a box of this AGFA Agfachrome CTX100 that expired in '99. I know the rule of pushing for each decade but does this still apply to slide film like this?
Any reccs or tips on shooting this stock?

Ethics in Photography

Please feel free to discuss these ethical issues:
>Buying vs Pirating Photoshop/Lightroom
Taking Creepshots of people (earlier there was a thread that touched on this but quickly diverted into an argument with a tripfag
>Entire image manipulation to get more (you)s/likes
Shilling a brand that may be inferior for a specific purpose but you shill anyway

Recently my work got me a Macbook and I've been struggling to download/install a pirated copy of Lightroom on it and was wandering how many anons actually purchase the software? If you purchased the software do you make money off your photos? Does making money off your photos make you think it is right to continue pirating (if that is what you do).
I always thought while I'm not making money from photography it is "okay" to use pirated software but should I earn an income I'd purchase it.
The other questions I raise is just to add more depth, anyone is welcome to add a /p/ dilemma
