(Note : not sponsored by Fuji, just an honest opinion. I am coming from the Sony world, and still own a A7r2)

I took this 80MP composition last friday with the Fujifilm GFX 50s:

I am so impressed by the low light capabilities of this camera that I even did an how-to video explaining how this photograph was created :

Photographers that ever tried to catch the milky way in a middle of a city would know the challenges of capturing it in environment with high light pollution. It is one of those impossible shots that need really specific conditions to be obtainable. Lookup for “milky way Sydney” on Google and mostly all shots you will see are composite (e.g. milky way shot in one location added in Sydney) – well not in this case here.

I recently setup – after discussing with @apoapsisphotography and @clement_breuille – a challenge to get the milky way in the middle of an highly populated city – during a light festival. Turns out, this place had to be Vivid Sydney (if you are in Sydney, go pay a visit, this is awesome).

When I acquired this camera, I didn’t know what to expect, or even, if I would keep it. I already own a marvel of engineering: the Sony A7r2. This camera never failed to deliver, even in some of the harshest and remotest places of this world. It also helped me win the french national awards of the Sony World Photo Organization and to be nominated Top 5 Travel Photographer by Australian Photography. I couldn’t be happier.

Venus Optics Announces World’s First Lens Adapter that Enlarges Image Circle of FF Lenses for Vignetting-less Use on Fujifilm GFX 50S

Venus Optics just announced an adapter which allows to use Full Frame Canon EF and Nikon AI lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50s. But it’s different from the existing products (Fotodiox / Kipon) in the market.

Because of the smaller image circle for DSLR FF lenses, when you use FF on GFX with an adapter, there can be more or less vignetting. However, Venus Optics has included glasses into their adapter which can enlarge the image circle of the FF lenses and so it can be used with GFX even with the wide angle lens without vignetting.

However, keep in mind that “it has a focal length multiplier of 1.4x and reduces the maximum aperture by 1-stop.”… which makes it a teleconverter/adapter.

Their are looking for beta testers… more below in the official press release (dowload RAW files)

More adapters wil follow, also for Full Frame Tilt Shift lenses, since their image circe is big enough to cover the entire GFX sensor. There are also many other FF lenses, that also have just very little vignetting.

Hi, guys, here you can see one wedding shot with a combo of GFX & Xpro2
You can appreciate the GFX files by the DOF and quality of color rendering, and for the ISO, especially the last ones at Aguascalientes shot at 8000 ISO, the two last one in train station at 12800 ISO.
My style is photojournalistic, but I enjoyed using this camera in many moments, specially good when you have the couple in a controlled space ( getting ready moments, Ceremony, dance, or for the portraits ( outdoors or not )
Yes, I will use this camera in all my weddings this year.

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.

Swedish Ski Star Wants to Buy a Skateboard, but Ends up Purchasing a Fujifilm GFX and Selling his Canon 5D MK 4 :-)

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” :)

I first heard about the GFX on 8th January, 2014, when I met these two gentlemen at CES in Las Vegas [see image on top].

Zack is an editorial music photographer based in Atlanta, GA, and a Fuji X System Photographer, and Billy is a Manager for the Product and Marketing Specialist Group – ‎FUJIFILM CANADA INC., and one of the ‘Fuji Guys’ on YouTube.

We met at the Fujifilm stand at the Consumer Electronics Show, with Zack and I both pestering Billy to get a sneak peak of the new, unannounced, Fuji X-T1 camera.

With our sneak-peeks arranged, the conversation turned to ‘what’s next’, and Zack expressed a strong desire for Fuji to look at jumping the legacy 35mm format completely, and for them to take a look at producing a Medium Format mirrorless camera.

Billy was excited by the idea, and we began to discuss the features that the new camera should have.

Zack was all about a MF sensor as the starting point, and Billy suggested that this could then be used to shoot multiple aspect ratios, native in camera.

The camera needed to be mirrorless, to keep size, weight, and cost down, and should undercut the established MF market leaders by a significant margin.

We discussed super-sizing the successful Fuji X-Pro1, to make a digital version of the Fuji 6×9 120 ‘Texas Leica’ Film cameras, and building a more conventionally styled model, with the same accessible controls and styling, to make the camera easy and fun to use.

The Fuji engineers on the stand were excited. I left the show with a strong impression that this was something they wanted to make happen.

I posted about Fuji’s logic of jumping to MF a few times on DPR, with mixed reactions. Most people didn’t believe it would ever happen. Many 35mm format users did’t get it, and still don’t. Fuji see it makes the best economic sense, and takes them past the limitations of the 35mm format market place.
