Zack Arias GFX or X-Pro2 Dilemma ** XF50 Vs 56 Comparison ** GFX Video Panning ** X100F / X-T20 & More

Fujifilm GFX

ZACK ARIAS DILEMMA

Zack Arias is caught in a dilemma… should he sell all Fuji X gear to get the Fujifilm GFX and X100F?

Currently I have two systems: The Phase One XF100 and my Fuji cameras. […] My only backup solution to my Phase is my Xpro2. It can get the job done but when you are hired to shoot medium format it would be nice to have a medium format as a backup if needed. There are times I’d like a smaller medium format kit and I think the Fujifilm GFX and the Fujinon GF32-64 will be a perfect solution for that.

I could sell ALL my Fuji gear and buy the GFX and the new X100F. I have thoughtfully considered that and it is still an option on the table.

Simplify Zack. Simplify. Zen. Flow like water. All that shit.

Full Phase kit. GFX for back up. X100F with wide and tele adapters? Rent other stuff as needed? That sounds good too. That Xpro2 though. I do love that camera so much. I’ve shot a lot of stuff with it. […] Xpro2. X100. Three lenses. Three flashes. One bag. Stuff that keeps me awake. Trying to find the signal in all of this noise. […] What do y’all think of all this bulls**t?

Fujinon XF50mmF2 WR

50 Vs. 56 Vs. 60

Some people asked for XF50mm Vs XF56mm comparisons in the comments. Well, I’ve found one at ivanjoshualoh here.

If you want the super-shallow DOF, then the 56 is the way to go. However, at F2, the 9 aperture blades of the XF50mmF2 (and 60) give overall nicer round balls
effects of the fairy lights. Used outdoor, though, with foliage in the background, the XF56mmF1.2 APD wins due to a creamier bokeh.

Compact, affordable, weather sealed, fast focus and a smooth bokeh make the XF50mmF2 WR probably the overall winner to me.

The Beauty of the XF18-135 – A Must Have Lens for Travels? – Top of the Shots at the X-shooter Facebook Zone!

Okan Yilmaz‎: Salt Lake X-T1, 18-135mm www.okanyilmaz.net

It continues to amaze me, what X-shooter all over the world share at the FujiRumors Facebook Page (click “See All”).

Many images really trigger my desire to travel and to photograph the world with my X-gear. But I’ll somehow have to manage my “wanderlust” until my next longer holidays. And in the meantime, looking at your images helps me not only to get an idea of which places I could visit, but also to think about which X-gear I should eventually take with me.

In the last few months, there is particulary one X-shooter, Okan Yilmaz, who is sharing tons of great images from all around the world, mostly taken with the Fujinon XF 18-135 (now $200 off at Adorama, BHphoto, AmazonUS and FocusCamera) and the XF10-24mm (now $200 off at Adorama, BHphoto, AmazonUS, FocusCamera)

Especially the XF18-135 seems to be a perfect allrounder for travels. It’s a sturdy, weather sealed lens (I made a hardcore test ;) ), quite sharp for a super-zoom and with it’s class leading OIS, it is very useful in low light (as long as your subject isn’t moving, of course)

When it comes to select my lenses for travels, I can’t see myself travelling without my 18-135 anymore. It’s just too flexible.

So I invite you to check out todays selection and to see what the 18-135 (and other lenses) can do in the hands of passionate X-shooters :-)
