Fujifilm GFX Zone

Bert Stephani just published his Fujifilm GFX 50s first impressions on his youtube channel. Some excerpts:

• mindblowing sharpness, sometimes maybe even too sharp
• sits a lot better in the hand than the X-T2
• he does not like the way the strap attaches
• battery last pretty long
• Synch speed is a bit of a downside. But leaf shutter lenses would make lenses bigger and more expensive. But brands like Godox are coming with HSS
• the most user friendly Medium Format camera
• the huge super sharp files that come outshow the good, but also the bad… so if you make a little error, such as slightly misfocus, you see it more clearly on the GFX.
• Bert asks himself if this camera is something for him, and after a lot of thinking, he decided to pull the trigger and purchased it
• Bert says his current clients and jobs don’t require the GFX. But he thinks at future projects, since he is redesigning his business, and the GFX is part of this strategy

Cinema5D had the opportunity to interview Fujifilm Top Manager Toshihisa Iida (who is also a FujiRumors Lover, as you can see here) :)

It’s of course a more video-centric interview, also focussing on the recently released Fujinon MK lenses. But they also talk about the GFX, X-T20 and X-T2. Here some excerpts:

• MK lenses not designed to support EF-mount. Fuji wants to make the lens as small as possible. Hence only X and E-mount (small flange distance)
• Fuji has best glass and best IQ. So Fujifilm has a lot of potential for video market, using the great glass and IQ.
• Q: Will you continue to support and explore new was to reach higher quality when it comes to the camera side? A: I’m very postive or optimistic with our future R&D development
• GFX focus in on still photography. This does not necessarly mean we limit GFX to stills. It has big potential for future also for videos

Fujifilm said that the X-mount versions of the MK18-55mm T2.9 and MK50-130mm T2.9 will come in late 2017.

So here’s the first test with a human subject. A quick shoot this evening using the Nikon 58mm 1.4G on the Fuji GFX almost the whole time and I think I shot a few with the LensBaby Edge 80 lens but I don’t think any of these samples were with the Edge 80.

Happens to all of us, right? I mean, you just go out for an icecream, and you come back home with new gear :)

No? Well, then let me tell you this little weekend story…

Jon Olsson is a former Swedish ski athlete (and camera nerd :) ), who is now making a respectable career as a Vlogger (700k subscribers).

In his latest video, he takes you with him during a day in Stockholm. His plans for the day?

• modelling for a photo shoot
• meeting some Dell guys and comparing Mac Vs. PC
• buy a skateboard

On the photo shoot, the photographer used a Hasselblad (H6D?) MF camera…. and it seems that seeing that Medium Format beast at work, triggered Jon’s desire for a MF camera.

In fact, his original day-plan then changed to:

• modelling for a photo shoot
• meeting some Dell guys and comparing Mac Vs. PC
• buy a skateboard Check out some “seriously unnecessary” stuff (min.8:45)
  

So, in the afternoon, Jon leaves his hotel room to buy a skateboard, but once near to a photography store, he stops there to test for 3 hours the Fujifilm GFX 50s and the Hasselblad X1D.

Finally, since the Hasselblad was “really slow and weird“, he ends up buying the Fujifilm GFX (min. 12:35).

He decided to get the Fujinon GF 63mmF2.8 lens, because, after checking the files on a computer in the camera store and seeing how much detail they have, he concludes that “you just need one lens, then you can zoom in 4,000%“.

True, the GFX is not as cheap as the skateboard he planed to buy, but he says “what’s the point in working hard and making money if you don’t use the money. Now, you have to be a little smart, but you also have to enjoy“.

Don’t expect a professional in-depth review. Jon says “I don’t know the technical details. I just shoot stuff, and when I like it, I like it.“

At min. 14:10 he offers his Canon 5D MK 4 for sale, and after charging the batteries, they start playing around with their new camera (min. 14:51). I guess there will be more coming about the GFX on his channel, but he seems to be very happy with it, since he says:

“Life goal checked: I own a Medium Format camera” :)
