    Yes. Have you all noticed how much distortion on extreme left and right of many photos - often giving altered "stance" as some believe. Either a cheap 'phone or a fish-eye lens in an expensive 'phone - or both.

    Yes, a very skilled restorer pointed this out for me years ago and here's an example I've used to demonstrate how dramatic it can be!

    Dear "Giotto",

    What @amenasce posted here is a story taken from my Instagram profile.

    As you might be aware (or not?), Social Media activities take most of their benefits from being current, "live", ideally posted right in the moment it happened. For this reason, people doing Social Media stuff do actually use their mobile phone cameras to take photos to post on Social Media apps like Instagram. Instagram is actually designed to preferably post photos taken by mobile phones. So do I. My iPhone 15 wasn't that cheap, I can assure you. Instagram reduces the quality of posted photos, and maybe @amenasce used a cheap phone to take the screenshot from my Instagram profile to repost it here - who knows?

    Rest assured, I did take photos with my Canon R3, too. But @amenasce cannot find those on my Instagram profile, at least not while the event still was ongoing.

    So, thank you very much for feeling so much sorrow for me using a cheap phone (Which one do you use, btw? Please enlighten us!), but I can relieve you from your sorrows: I am fully equipped for any occasion and any use.

    Sorry to have upset you so much.
    For my photos, I use a Fujifilm X100V. I don't take any photos with a phone and I'm not an Instagram user.
    Apologies again for my *ignorance*.

    Love this. Makes me wonder if he just filled it up and went back home with it afterwards.

    Quality is lost every time a photo is shared and reshared. Even when I post photos taken with my Sony Alpha and prime lenses, the quality on fchat is terrible.

    This thread is more about sharing what vintages are being spotted on the fly vs photography quality.
