Matt Granger GFX Review

Matt Granger just launched a new series of travel videos, where he reviews gear on the field (mattgranger.com/fieldtested). The opening episode features the Fujifilm GFX 50s (with GF 63 and GF 120) in Bhutan.

So he’s giving you nice mix between backround information and travel impressions about Bhutan and feedback about the Fujifilm GFX 50s. About the Fujifilm GFX 50s he says amongst the others:

• hugely detailed files and lovely colors
• Great showdow recovery
• The current GF lenses might not seems ultra fast, especially if you are used to DSLR and you are used to F1.4 or F1.8. However, if you would get the GF lenses for portrait work, the lenses are actually great. Many FF lenses used at F1.4 tend to be not that sharp, have vignetting, not particulary contrasty (except there very top line and expensive ones) and due to the very shallow DOF it’s easy to misfocus the eye. The GF lenses Matt used (GF 63 and GF 120) seem to be designed for headshots. From the tip of the nose to the eye everything will be in focus, and then the lovely fall-off. Wide open GF lenses have no vignetting and sharpness is outstanding.
• Weather sealing tested under rain. No moisture intruded. Works totally fine.
• Low Light AF can take up to a full second, so he has missed some shots (NOTE: Fujifilm recently released a new firmware that improved AF speed in low light)
• at 3 fps and with the huge files, it’s no speed monster
• Currently limited lens selection

Fujinon Lenses + Mitakon 35mmF0.95 MK II

How do they say? We date cameras, but we marry lenses? Well, that might be true. So in today’s miXed zone I decided to focus entirely on Fujinon lenses (+ the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 Mark II).

It includes several reviews about the new Fujinon XF 50mm F2 WR, and it seems to be just another stellar Fujinon lens :)
