Fujinon GF 63mmF2.8 Vs. GF 32-64mmF4 Compared :: Elinchrom GFX HS Trigger Rumor :: More Tidbits

Fujinon GF63 Vs GF32-64

Ivan Joshua Loh has a quick and interesting comparison over at his blog here. He took some images with the GF63mm (at F2.8 and at F4) and some images with the GF32-64 (at 64mm and F4).

He shared the images over at his blog (go to his blog for a larger view of the images).

Now all you have to do is to check them out, and recognize which image was taken by which lens… and according to what you see, make your decision if the 32-64 is all you need, or if the 63mm gives you that little extra you need.

X-photographer Ivan is also a very active member over at our Fujifilm GFX facebook group.

More GFX Tidbits

60 minutes with the Fuji GFX 50s at elundqvist:

  • The lenses are pretty hefty things and do not have the same comforting, solid build as the XF lenses. In fact, they felt rather plasticky, but were at least pleasently light.
  • What really stood out was the EVF; it was responsive and BIG.
  • Autofocus was snappy, but again it was not really very challanging conditions. I don’t expect it to be an issue for most of my use cases.
  • I’ve heard a rumour, from what I consider a reputable source, Elinchrom are working on a HS trigger for Fuji but they don’t know when it will be released. Fuji confirmed they are indeed talking to Elinchrom about this, but that was all he could say, understandably.

GFX First Impressions at stephenscharf

  • extremely well thought-through
  • surprisingly light, but it is also very well made and robust-feeling
  • I found the AF to be surprisingly fast, at least as fast as a Fujifllm X-T1.
  • The aperture rings have just the right amount of stiffness in rotation, and manual focus and zoom rings feel very nice, smooth but with just the right amount of resistance that allows you to precisely set the adjustment exactly where you want to.
  • it is a real workhorse and a serious “photographic tool”
