16mm lens vs 1000mm lens, same object

1000mm? sounds expensive, unless f/11 with cheap glass and plastic barrel, but picture clarity says would be otherwise

40-50 year old soviet mirror lens, 70euros used, build like a tank, probably was a tank optic once lol
- i see, those can be built compact with little glass, a bit quirky with their ring highlights, but that's your thing, that's another plus
- Neat
- Maksutov?
75 grand. jfc.
- The perfect gift for the spy in your life.
Tripod required.
- u can handheld point an shoot with this one too, just set the shutter speed to 1/8000 and crank the iso up to 60k

So... a 1m lens then?

probably a telephoto lens, so not actually physically as long as its focal distance
- Well that's just false advertising. 😠
I did the same math and was like op is rocking the jwst in his dugout
- the jwst has a focal lengh of 131.4m not sure if they sell a E-Mount adapter for it tho

I'm glad they let you take that photo from... your prison cell?

Joking, very impressed how clear that text is.

I didn't read the title at first so I thought damn, that's a tall prison.

I think I need a 1000mm lens now.

kleinanzeigen regelt, und solange du keinen autofocus brauchst, sogar recht günstig

Berlin <3

Ach der schlne Humboldthain... die Treppenstufen da hoch waren Bestandteil meiner Joggingstrecke während des Studiums. 🙃

This makes me wish I could get an aftermarket lens for the camera I bought a few months ago. Only issue is I presume this was probably shot with a professional camera and not an average "family photo" quality camera.

I think you're very much underestimating your "family photo" camera. There's lots of consumer grade cameras with lens systems available that will blow your mind
- For someone who hasn't owned a camera outside of a phone before, it is impressive, but I'm also admittedly a little jealous of stuff like this. All I got is a supposed 15x optical zoom and supposed 12.1 megapixel images.

I'm sure this is some statement piece but idk who charité is

The Charité is the Hospital of the Humboldt University in Berlin. It is a big name in medical science in Germany. They even made a similar named tv series about the hospital. The building is the so called „Bettenhaus“ (Bed house), build between 1977 and 1982 in the former DDR (east Germany).
It was founded in 1709. Quite some medical history was written there.
- found
  *founded
If it’s a real question: A hospital in Berlin, Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charit%C3%A9
- Would it not be?

No zoom vs. max zoom, Google pixel 😘

Dude… the distance in OP‘s picture is just short of 3km. The distance in your picture is probably under 100m.

- You're not missing much; it's got that classic Google Camera upscale smearing

For people without that phone, context why that's silly. The Google Pixel 10 does have an impressive telephoto lens (for a phone) of about 110mm equivalence, although it's nowhere near what we're seeing here.
What's not impressive is its gimmick: anything above 30x is actually AI enhanced up to 100x. The photo you shared likely used that enhanced feature to unblur, like text. You really really wanna piss off some people with this comment, lol.
- It's just the built in camera zoom; I was never suggesting it's an alternative to a real camera lens but for a phone the results are still pretty impressive, even if they're achieved with local AI or whatever
