GFX SAMPELS AND IMPRESSIONS

I’m sorry guys, but these days are GFX days. But don’t be afraid… X-stuff is coming very soon… and I think you will like it A LOT!

I can’t think of a better place in these days to know everything about the GFX, than our hyperactive 8,000+ members strong Fujifilm GFX facebook group. It’s simply astonishing how active GFX owners are sharing their images and impressions every minute. Thanks guys :-)

Oh, sure, it’s a closed group, but since I’m a kind guy, I will take some tidbits from the group and share it with all of you. You’re welcome ;)

ENJOY

shared by yslphotos here: Hi all. I did a comparison shot between the 645z and the Fuji GFX50s at my apartment. Same ledge, same place. Metering is the same, center weighte Variables are as follows.

  1. The Pentax 645z photo was shot with a 19mm equivalent and the Fuji at 24mm.
  2. The Pentax 645z settings were ISO100, 90s exposure, F8. Fuji was ISO 100, 30s exposure, F8. Used a light meter to figure out the exposure.
  3. The timing is 2 am vs 8 pm (about 6 hours difference) after a cloudy evening. 2014 vs 2017 (if it matters).
  4. DNG vs OOC JPEG (at this point can’t compare the RAF).

Findings from the community in the comments:

yslphotos.: CA more noticeable on the Pentax lenses over the same area
Jensen: Fuji won!
Johnathan L.: Fuji look nicer

Less CA on the Fuji

Fujifilm GFX Vs. Hasselblad HD4 :: GFX 50S Hands-On…. And a New Fujifilm GFX Facebook Page for GFX Fans and Owners!

Share

Upon request from GFX fans and owners, I’ve launched a new dedicated Fujifilm GFX page, where I will share exclusively Fujifilm GFX news and rumors. As opposed to the Fujifilm GFX facebook group, where people interact and share their GFX thoughts and images, this page works as a mere news stream open to everyone, who wants to get quickly the latest information about the Fujiflm GFX. So feel free to like and join the Fujifilm GFX page.

To APS-C Lovers: These will be busy GFX days, but there will be a lot of great APS-C news and rumors coming soon too… and with soon I mean VERY soon ;)

Fujifilm Manager: “We Investigate the Next Film Simulation :: Fujifilm Close to 20% Mirrorless Market Share :: More Video-Capable Camera”

Share

This time it’s imaging-resource, who had a talk with a couple of Fujifilm Managers. Here some excerpts:

  • Current GF best sellers: the 63mm and the 32-64mm, with the demand for the zoom being “a bit higher than expected“
  • Future GF lenses requests: a telephoto prime around 200mm focal length. A wide zoom, like a 15mm, a more ultra-super-wide zoom. A 70-200mm
  • Fuji thinks GFX owners are 50/50 split between professionals and high-end amateurs
  • Film Simulation: “Some want maybe AGFA or Kodak […] So now we are investigating what’s next.”
  • Mirrorless Market share of Fujifilm is close to 20% now [NOTE: it was 14%-15% last year. X-T2 and X-Pro2 raised the bar further]
  • 4K on X-Pro2: “Basically, we cannot upgrade the X-Pro2 because it’s a difference of hardware.” [NOTE: this does not fit with what Fuji Guy Billy said here]
  • “We got a lot of requests from videographers that Fuji shooters should have more video-capable functionalities of the cameras…”
  • The biggest market for the X100 line is the USA.
  • Besides Instax, which is perceived as a new technology amongst young people, also the use of disposable cameras is increasing, because for “young customers […] it is kind of fun because they cannot see the result.”
  • Capture One will not support the GFX?: “We have a solution with Adobe Lightroom raw conversion. We also have our Fujifilm original Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO with Lightroom, which we just released from November with the X-T2 and of course the GFX. Its functionality is quite good.”
