Full Frame Veteran Shoots Fujifilm GFX100 II at MotoGP: The $4,000 Fujinon GF Lens That Matched $16,000 Nikon Glass

Mattia Campos has spent more than 20 years working with every kind of ultra-flagship full-frame camera you can think of. Not long ago, we reported how he decided to step outside his comfort zone and take the Fujifilm APS-C system to Patagonia for wildlife photography.

The short version? Fujifilm’s APS-C system completely blew him away. His review turned out to be one of the best—and most brutally honest—camera reviews of 2025. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s absolutely worth your time.

But Campos didn’t stop there.

He also put the Fujifilm GFX100 II to the test in a place where you would least expect a medium-format camera: a MotoGP race.

The full review is in Italian and was published on JuzaPhoto. Below, I’ll summarize the key takeaways, including a direct comparison with the Sony A1 and the Nikon Z8.

One comparison, in particular, really stands out.

Campos compared:

He cropped the GFX files to match the field of view of the Nikon files—fully expecting the Nikon setup to come out on top.

It didn’t.

The results were practically identical.

In other words: with a €4,000 GF lens, he achieved the same level of sharpness as with an $16,000 Nikon super-telephoto.

And that was just one of the advantages he found in high resolution—and in medium format more broadly. He also appreciated several other qualities of medium-format files… and was equally honest about the aspects he liked less.

You can read all about it below.

NOTE: the original article shared months ago contained images. However, Mattia has since then canceled his account on the forum and the images have disappeared. However, his text and findings are still there, which is why I still decided to share it.

Fujifilm GFX100II New Dynamic Range King of Mirrorless Cameras

Photons to Photos has published its dynamic range results for the Fujifilm GFX100II.

As to expect, the GFX100II now takes the lead as the mirrorless camera that will give you the highest dynamic range with a slight boost over the Fujifilm GFX100S due to an optimized sensor design, as we explained here.

So, if you want to have a bit more margins in terms of dynamic range, the Fujifilm GFX100II is the way to go. And all this by delivering substantially more megapixel over its high resolution full frame competitors.

There are only 3 digital cameras that are better than the GFX100II listed on Photons to Photos:

  • Phase One IQ4
  • Phase One IQ3
  • Hasselblad H6D-100c

But the above are not mirrorless cameras. And they are huge, heavy and cost more than my car.

You can access the comparison we made above at this link (and also make your own one).
