Zack Arias Impresses His Audience with ISO 12,800 and Crazy Sharp Samples Taken with FUJIFILM GFX at his GPP Stage Talk

GFX Launch NightZach Arias – X-Photographer

Geplaatst door Fujifilm Middle East op woensdag 15 februari 2017

As you read here, Zack Arias is considering to sell all his X-gear to get the GFX.

In his recent GPP talk, he introduces the GFX in an interesting one hour video. Here some excerpts:

  • He will start telling you why he chose Medium Format and his first steps in with Medium Market.
  • He goes through his personal issues that, amongst the others, also influenced his work…. and shares his way out of that.
  • At minute 31:00 he starts sharing his recent work with the GFX
  • 32:25: He shares pictures that his 18 years old son took with the GFX.
  • 35:00: “I’ve shot every format, but Medium Format has this look. It’s how the highlights and shadows are retained, the soft transitions between those two, how the focus falls off. I can’t describe steroscopic bokeh at all, but I can see it. […] I want that different look.”
  • 39:00. Pixel Peeping Time… and you will hear the people just say “WOW!!” when they see the amazing sharpness and details.
  • 42:30: The MF Phase One is amazing. Has 1 AF point, though. He goes at 1,600 ISO at max with his Phase One now.
  • 43:55: Zack shows an image taken at ISO 12,800 (JPEG)… and again another WOW goes through the audience.
  • 48:00: A Fuji Representative says that Capture One will support the GFX

Fujifilm GFX: “Remarkably Clean Images at ISO 12,800 […] Manual Focus too Much Spinning on Lens” + Shutter Sound/AF Video

Dale Sood & Gary Goldberg from Vistek had 24 hours with the Fujifilm GFX. Not much time, but they tested it as long as they could, even deep in the night out in the streets at -10 degrees. It appears to me that they are trying to give their honest feedback, showing samples and crops, and also pointing out some Cons.

Here are some excerpts… and please pardon me, but the GFX is such a new and exciting piece of gear to the photography industry, that I will cover it properly here on FR.

You can be sure: good or bad feedback, I will share it all.

  • AF in studio: AF was perfect for Gary when shooting with the model. He focusses on the model’s eye, and the camera did a great job with nailing it.
  • AF in Low Light Night Street: Dale used it in low light on the street, and his experience was, as expected, different. In low light it struggled certainly more, but he says it’s always harder for every camera to focus in low light. (NOTE: remember it’s an early beta firmware)
  • Focus peaking: Dale switched to Focus Peaking. But he complains that there is a lot of spinning on the lens to get the focus. (NOTE: also here consider it’s an early beta firmware)
  • Sharpness: Just watch the video, guys :)
  • ISO Performance (min 6:42): The reviewer has experience with other leading Medium Format brands, and he says he rarely pushed ISO over 3,200, because he wasn’t happy with the results. He assumed it would be the same with GFX. He shot on the street at night, and had to push at ISO at 3,200 and for one shot even at 12,800. On the back of the camera 12,800 looked great. But he thought “there is no way this going to look good on the computer“. So he brought the file into the computer and said “I should have shot at ISO 12,800 more often. How clean it is at 12,800 is remarkable” :) . At 6400 the images are very usable right out of the box, without having to apply any grain reduction in post.
  • Battery Live: at -10 degrees, he shot the entire night, without even draining one battery.
  • Conclusions: It can keep up to the hype. It’s going to be a game changer

Fujifilm GFX :: Current Pricing About $8000 (body + lens) – New Source

The Fujifilm GFX is now in the hands of selected photographers, who are testing it and giving their feedback to Fujiiflm. And every now and then, Fujifilm shares little tidbits at their youtube channel.

One of the happy beta testers is Philippe Marinig. Here are some of his comments taken from this youtube video: “I like reality, I like using natural light. […] I was very impressed by the GFX quality. […] The GFX seems to have no much limitation in terms of ISO as well. It’s freedom, no limitation. […] New Generation, exciting“.

And the lucky photographers, who can already use the GFX, share some tidbits now and then also at the Fujifilm GFX facebook group… so don’t miss to check it out.

With that said, let’s come to today’s rumor, which should be taken with a grain of salt, because it comes from a new source, and especially because Fujifilm can change the estimanted pricing anytime. I mean, the X-T2 price has been decided just shorty before its announcement, and in case of the X70, Fujifilm even changed the price 2 days after the announcement, when it was still in pre-order status.

All I can give you are estimated price tags at the moment, and, according to a new source, Fujifilm has currently set the price for the GFX at around $8000 (with lens).

This fits more or less with the price shared in Germany by a store and at this Vietnamese store.

have a Great day,

Local Store lists Fujifilm GFX 50s for “about €8000” :: More Fujifilm GFX Hands-On Reports

The 3,500 members of the Fujifilm GFX facebook group are very active. Some had the opportunity to test the GFX and shared their feedback for example here, some other guys are fighting hard to get their hands on as first on the GFX, like E. Bouvet and J. Apruzzese here, and more feedback and images can be checked out also here.

So you see… the group is very active and sharing stuff that fast, that I simply can’t keep up with it on FujiRumors. So, if you are interested in the Fujifilm GFX, then I recommend you to join the Fujifilm GFX facebook group.

Now, there are still many questions open regarding the Fujifilm GFX, and one of the hottest is for sure about its price. I’ve reported in the past, how an official Vietnamese store and Fujifilm showroom listed the GFX (+ lens) for sale for $8500 (€7,700).

Another hint has just been spotted by GFX facebook member Boerckel here. He noticed the flier of a German Store, where the Fujifilm GFX 50s price is said to be “about €8000“. It’s not clear if they mean body only or with GF63mm lens. The image shows the camera with lens, whereas the product description does not mention the lens.

Some reactions from the comments here:

  • J. Lindalen: “kids won’t be getting christmas presents this year, I need to save up some $$“
  • M. Kuhnreich “Ha, my kids aren’t even allowed at the dentist this year. Daddy’s portraits are going to look awesome, though!”

Fujifilm Europe Massive Sell Out of 5th Generation Cameras and Lots of XF/GF Lenses

Last week, Fujifilm UK launched significant rebates on nearly every 5th-generation X-Series camera—excluding the new X-M5 and the wildly popular X100VI. Now, the rest of Europe has followed suit, with similar discounts rolling out across the continent.

But keep in mind: rebates might vary by country, and even within the same market, prices can differ between retailers. The discounts listed here (in €) reflect current German store promotions, but your local deal might be slightly different.

And don’t forget to compare prices across multiple stores as there might be differences. For example:

You know why this is happening, right?

It’s all going to be impossible to sell once this beautiful camera is out ;).

  • ATTENTION 1: In Germany these are Cashback Deals
  • ATTENTION 2: AmazonDE is not listed among the authorized reseller for these particular cashback deals. However, I will list AmazonDE below, because in some cases they have better or same prices. Please compare prices. Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt and Calumet are all eligable for cashback.

Amazon Still Takes Fujifilm GFX100RF Pre-Orders (with Price Guarantee)

Amazon US is still taking pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF in both colors, black or silver, with pre-order price guarantee.

Since announcement, Amazon has only rarely opened and taken pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF, so they might have a shorter pre-order list compared to other big online retailers. So maybe they still have some more GFX100RF in the warehouse than pre-orders, hence they are still taking orders. If you want it in silver, also Adorama still takes orders.
