History

Overview of important dates

Disk usage

This list details per-year disk usage of my Photo archive:

Year Size (GB) File count JPG count Notes
1969 0.1 5 1
1970 0.8 26 0
1998 0.3 10 10
2004 0.4 48 48
2005 0.3 557 557
2006 0.9 932 931 Canon PowerShot A430
2007 2 1161 1156
2008 0.9 656 631
2009 0.8 495 495 Nokia N900
2010 1 1077 1070
2011 1 1241 1193
2012 10 2908 2590 Canon PowerShot G12
2013 33 4192 2763
2014 27 4126 2470
2015 11 2004 1332
2016 0.4 131 131
2017 32 2958 1656 Fairphone 2
2018 164 9154 4705 FujiFilm X-T2
2019 127 7228 3695
2020 95.36 5260 2815
2021 23.78 2126 1598 Pixel 4a
2022 7.28 1079 1009
2023 10.74 2555 2474 Pixel 6a, incomplete
Total 555.16 50239 33496

Years before 2004 are probably mislabeled. Archives from 1988 to 2004 are still in film and haven't been imported.

The introduction of the Fuji and its higher resolution really made a huge change in disk usage.

Keep in mind the "File count" columns counts "RAW" shots as double: one file for the JPG, one for the RAW. And it may also count sidecars (XMP files) as extra.

The above was created with:

git annex info --json * | jq   --compact-output '[.["directory","local annex size","local annex keys"]]'

.. and some manual formatting in Emacs because the jq manpage drives me utterly insane.

The JPG count was produced with:

for year in 19* 20* ; do echo "$year: $(find $year -iname '*.jpg' | wc -l )"; done

And the total JPG count was produced with:

find 19* 20* -iname '*.jpg' | wc -l

The total size and file counts were produced with git annex info --fast ..

Camera dates

This is a more exhaustive list of which camera was used during which period.

A list of "number of photos per camera" can be built with:

find ~/Photos/* -type f,l \! -name '*.xmp' | while read file ; do
    printf "$file: %s\n" $(
     LANG=C.UTF-8 exiv2 $file 2>/dev/null | grep 'Camera model' | sed 's/.*://' 
    );
done | tee ~/Photos/models | sed 's#/.*:##'  | sort -n | uniq -c

But Darktable also shows this now, by selection "camera" in the "Collections" module.

Ces lentilles ne sont pas compatibles avec l'équipement numérique que j'utilise actuellement à moins d'utiliser un adaptateur.

Note: of all those lens, only the Canon EF and Pentax K are still in use.

2018 shopping

Évidemment, je magasine encore...

Cossins:

  1. de la meilleure photo astronomique. peut-être avec un un adapteur à téléscope. 80$USD pour un adapteur 2", exemples plus ou moins concluants. certains prennent de bonnes poses sans aucun adapteur
  2. shoulder strap that keeps the camera on the side instead of in front, e.g. BlackRapid Sport Breathe (75$USD @ B&H)
  3. un holder a lentilles "lens flipper" 75$USD @ B&H
  4. un tube macro MCEX-11 ou MCEX-16, this table shows the magnification/distance for various lens. MCEX-16, for example, does not improve the 60mm macro much (0.5x → 0.76x, 185mm → 143mm) but it does wonder with the 18-55mm (0.08x → 0.97x, 211mm → 4mm, that is not a typo and means the lens is almost touching the subject, which might be impractical for some subjects, especially for lighting!), 94$USD/87$USD at B&H, 120$CAD at Henry's, 110$CAD a lozeau, good comparison between the two lenses. might not be worth getting the MCE-16 but it's cheaper??

Lentilles:

  1. 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR ø77: Rockwell, Phoblographer, huge but real nice, no OIS, 900-1400$
  2. 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro, leur seule vraie lentille macro, 1550$ lozeau
  3. une "wide angle", quelques options: phoblographer, dpreview forum, DP review recommends the XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS (1200$ lozeau)
  4. XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR: weather resist, good all around travel lens even if a bit bulky, 28-200mm equivalent, dpreview recommendation, 800$USD B&H 1050$CAD lozeau
  5. XF50mm F1.0 R WR: weather resist, f/1! awesome portrait lens, rated second "lens of the year 2020" by B&H

Second appareil:

  1. X-T3, 1780$ chez Lozeau, 1400$USD chez B&H, (update 2020-04-11: 1500$ B&H, 1900$CAD Henrys), dpreview sont dithyrambiques, grosse amélioration de l'autofocus, nouveau senseur, "night mode" pour le LCD, 4k 60fps. peut-être attendre le X-T4 qui pourrait finir par avoir de la stabilisation d'image, comme le X-H1?
  2. update: le X-T4 a été annoncé en février 2020, et comporte effectivement de la stabilisation d'image! Mais c'est une batterie différente, ce qui rend l'opération avec un kit X-T2 peu pratique. Peut-être que ça va faire tomber le prix de la X-T3 par contre... (dpreview, 1700$USD B&H, 2200$CAD Henrys)
  3. X-E3, dpreview, 800CAD on kijiji with a 35mm f/1.4!, 1450$ lozeau, similar size than the x100f but interchangeable lenses and cheaper. especially relevant with the 27mm pancake
  4. X100f ø49 1200-1600$ on kijiji, 1650$ lozeau, nostalgia! update: ils ont maintenant un x100v qui est tropicalisée mais enlève les "4 boutons" (dpreview, 1400$USD B&H) qui, selon dpreview, "leads its market segment in terms of overall capability"
  5. possibly the Ricoh G-II or G-III because it is smaller and recommended by a friend.

Écarté:

PS: It looks like Rockwell considers almost all Fujifilm lenses to be "extraordinary" in some way, so be warned of the potential bias. (Direct quote: "the Fuji X-Mount Lenses are all extraordinary.") He is linked above because he's one of the few reviewers that has good coverage of almost the whole Fujinon X series.

Acheté:

  1. lens cap holder: regular sensei seems fine, 2USD x 5
  2. UV filter for zoom ø62mm, 9-50$ on B&H, e.g. B+W 62mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter at 20$
  3. bigger eyecup 10$ (or 14$?)
  4. cleaning pen: ~10USD
  5. un doubleur cheap, le Vivitar 62mm 2.2x à 28$. Le Bower VLB3558 3.5x semblait intéressant, mais il n'est plus en vente chez B&H
  6. Spare cover kit (yes, I already lost the flash sync terminal cover), 9$USD, B/O
  7. Vortex Storm Jacket 35$USD - le boitier est waterproof, mais pas les lentilles :)

2013-2017 shopping

Update: j'ai acheté une Fujifilm X-T2, principalement à cause de sa familiarité avec les vieux systèmes argentique et la qualité exceptionnelle des rendus de l'appareil, ce qui réduit ma dépendance à l'ordinateur.
