I'm just waiting for Sigma to finally release their 70-200 f/2.8 in the RF mount, which they already did for Sony E and L-mount. But that will probably be a year or two later.

video is not what you get this camera for, good for you, for me its my best video camera, I actually like it more than my Ursa 12k

Can you recommend lines for beginners , with adapter or without , less expensive , ?

Just a beginner , best professional review ive seen for an R50 new to photography owner , thank you !

Is the sharpness wide open similar to the new Fuji 56mm 1.2?

Hey Kevin, thank you for the amazing video! The only thing I would advice is not to load the cameras on the ground, since at that level the wind is blowing all kinds of debris into the camera’s exposed internals. Try to sit somewhere and do that in your lap. Cheers!

Hi, how does it connect on a GoPro? Specifically GoPro Hero 12

Can we use zoom mode with TCL ?

Thank you Kevin for your great reviews , I just ordered a R8 with an adapter for my ef 300 L is/usm f4. Using it only for bird photography and Coming from a 50d, I really am excited what the results will be. Also ordered the extender 1.4 III For me battery life is not a big issue, just switch to a fresh one and that's it.

Geese are powerful ladies !

Could you compare the image quality of the GFX and the R5 Mark II? Are there any advantages for professional work, and do your clients notice the difference between these two cameras?

I like this lens, I would not pay full retail price for it, but since it is an older model there are plenty on thr used market to be had!

A complete review, thanks , I just ordered mine :)

👍👍👍 EXCELLENT...THANKS

I was wondering since you knew going in the GFX system that the sync speed was only 1/125 why you did not consider hasselblad X2D. That also has phase detect. Since I assume that was the reason you didnt want to buy the 50mp fuji/hasselblad versions (all contrast autofocus). Or was the X2D not out yet back then?

Great video! Which lens would you purchase (hybrid professional) the RF28-70mm L f/2 or the RF24-105mm L f/2.8 if you were to buy now?

Aside from the aesthetics (yes I’m superficial, sue me🤣), the most important feature of the X100 series is definitely the leaf shutter and ND filter, combined with the internal flash, it’s a backlight killer. Try shooting with it at 1/2000 with the Sun behind your subject and you’ll take photos you never thought you could with internal flash. Obviously an external high powered flash with flash sync, soft box and reflector will do much better, but with a little work you'll be amazed what the internal flash can do. Not to further sound like a fan boy, but the X100VI is actually a good deal for the sum of its parts, i.e. weather sealing (with UV filter), IBIS, 23mmF2 lens, ND filter, internal flash with 1/2000 sync speed. Imagine getting all these extra equipment with the XT5 and you’ll end up with at least an additional $1000 + 1KG! Now the downside of course is the fixed lens (even with the underrated TCL and WCL it’s still limited in focal lengths). So I totally agree with you that this camera is not for everybody, and definitely need to know what you’re getting into before buying. So IMO it's not overhyped and the features are practical and useful, just not for everyone. All that being said, I’m still contemplating upgrading to the X100VI from the V (I upgraded from the X100T and F, as 16 to 24 mp was a big jump, and the lens of the F & V is day and night). But for me, the X100V is practically a stills camera and I have my XT5 with various zoom lenses for videos. The only value added feature for me is the 40mp which makes it easier to crop images another 30% when I couldn’t get close enough to the subject. The IBIS will help in videos I guess. Will see if I enjoy shooting with my XT5 and then decide. And in your other video, I also noted the F1.4 is much better than the F2, so a more useful comparison should be with the 23mm F2, and as I said, I wish Fuji would upgrade that lens to the X100V formula, which fixed the close focus issue.

Thanks for the review You’ve convinced me to buy at as I love 35mm - as I’m not in a rush I’ll wait a few weeks in case there happens to be a holiday sale

Fuji should update this one with WR and possibly LM. I can accept the IQ for its size. They should also update the 23mm with the lens formula of the X100V, because they already have the formula, shouldn’t be difficult IMO. I hope they do, so I don’t have to resort to only my 27mmF2.8.

I love it!

With this method, can you use the xpro ii trigger instead of the flashpoint R2 trigger?

What happened to the podcast? I find it, I binge it, and no more episodes 😢

Does the XH2 have the same sensor/focusing as the XT5, XT50?

Many thanks great video and even greater images. I have a hassle that 500 CM I wish the parried up with a Godoxs X pro S but I’m struggling to find the right cables to shoot off camera flash. could you help at all? Many thanks 🙏🏻💚

All your complaints would have just made the lens bigger and no longer a pancake lens. The 28mm fits in my jacket pocket with the R8. The 35mm is SIGNIFICANTLY bigger and absolutely does not. It's fine to prefer the 35 but if you want a pancake lens, you gotta get rid of features. I would NOT have bought the 28mm if it were bigger.

Ive ordered the RF 50mm f1.4L VCM. Ive loved the EF 85mm f1.4L IS USM and I prefer the lighter weight of 1.4 lenses over the 1.2 versions. The commentators so far say the RF 50mm f1.4L VCM is very good optically with great bokeh and no focus breathing. The only thing I hope they do is provide firmware for the R6 MKII so we can use the iris ring in photo mode although it's not a deal breaker. Hope the next lens in this series they release is the RF 85mm f1.4L VCM that's the only lens to make up the lens I need and it's the next logical step for Canon.

Beat lens ever

What are your thoughts on the announcement of the three new Canon L lenses? Are you going to buy any of them? Do they move the needle for you? Are you waiting on another lens to come out. Tell me in the comments below!

Can you dry cannabis in this?

Is it possible to share some RAW files? I have been inspecting this lens for more than a month and i haven't come to a conclusion yet. I am between this one and EF 24-70 F2.8 II. I need IS and sharpness. Extra length is also bonus but according to JPG images taken with this lens did not satisfy me so much. I need to see photos taken with R5.

I love the X-H2 but for fast moving genres like motor racing or planes it’s not the best. I love it and the X-T5 for travel it’s light and I can afford so many different lenses. For Studio I agree it’s a bit flaky. I was a Canon 5D mkIV user and some things like tethered shooting were easier with Canon. I like Acros for B&W shooting but not sure I am making enough of the other film simulations.

This is exactly the video I needed right now - thank you.

I'm in! Ty

From my experience, everything you say is true. Fuji might have a corporate culture that does not allow change to take place efficiently enough. The issues you stated are very apparent.

I have been using the r5 II for portraits and wildlife for about a month. Coming from R8 which already has amazing AF, I did not expect the improvement to be so much. After setting up TBBF for wildlife it's almost like changing into easy mode. I am able to focus more on looking for interesting shots and species. As for portraits / fashion, my work flow is also a bit faster now - I use the eye focus to toggle between models / details of the dresses they were wearing. I think a good AF allow us to focus on other stuff like composition and improve on workflow, but I do enjoy using MF occasionally when I am just shooting for fun :)

I recently got my GFX 100s + GF 63mm f/2.8. I find it versatile, image quality is up to my expectation, autofocus is good enough, and the whole camera can fit in my 1990s old camera bag that my Dad gave me. I also find the external autofocusing really cute. I enjoy the system every minute.

Hola, soy nuevo en el sistema GFX (y tu nuevo suscriptor también) adoro tus videos, tengo la GFX100S, mis lentes 63mm y 110mm, son geniales. Gracias por tu contenido y recibe un saludo desde México

After years of domestic and International travel photography, in 2015 it made sense to stay home and take photos and make videos of my beautiful Macaw family. I primarily use these to educate others on how to create a successful Macaw aviculture protocol, on Facebook and other formats. After using a Canon 1Dx Mark II since 2016 and seeing no need to ever upgrade to a mirrorless Canon system, I watched a YT video on the Canon R3 used for bird photography. After renting an R3, and using the amazing eye tracking autofocus, buying an R3 was truly a game changer.. My lens of choice for both photos and videos for Macaw photography has been the EF 24-70, EF 11-24, and EF 15mm fisheye lens. For my needs these are the only lenses required to create my favorite photographic and video demonstrations of my avian family. Now it is time to rent the equivalent RF lenses to see which of these will duplicate my EF lens collection. After using the EF adapter for the R3, there have been some issues, so it makes sense to keep the EF system and use them on the I Dx Mark II, and purchase the RF lenses for the R3. Any suggestions would on RF lens selection would be greatly appreciated! great video, thanks for sharing your experience Kevin!

Wow what a great overview. Thanks, man. I was a Canon full frame shooter 10 years ago and recently I picked up a Nikon D800 full frame DSLR. Both are great, but I'm convinced now to go APS-C for the size/weight. As far as the criticism of APS-C, I thought the main one was about pixel count. My D800 was released in 2012 and it boasted a 36 megapixel sensor. On my computer, I zoom into a JPEG several clicks and the sharpness doesn't go away! But that's no a deal breaker for me in terms of switching to APS-C.. However, I'm guessing Fujifilm can't compete with Canon and Sony for video shooting, huh? That might be a problem for me.

This lens is for me if you need to know 🤩💕..but it's two times the price of my R8 😭💔. I want it so bad....🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼😊

It's called IBIS you moron. you can handhold at 1/4 of a second and get a sharp image. Try it fool.

14:10 I saw you using the aperture ring that you don't care to have. Caught in the act! Haha.

Absolute best it’s not.

Always enjoy your videos yeah this lens is an interesting one isn't it? I love it for the size. I don't own it but it does feel appealing but now that I have the 55 1.7 there's no reason for me to own this lens but I do think for people that don't have a 50 mm lens for their GFX. I think this is a great consideration especially making the footprint of the camera a lot smaller as well. I think that's a really good reason to buy this lens.

Great, detailed review - thank you! 🙏 good to know re low light

With those cameras showing up on the used market with regularity at an affordable price, it has me thinking. What a great way to get into medium format.

The 50 and 110 are my only lenses on GFX so size for performance the 50 is great. Agree with the shortcomings though. Overall I think it is an often overlooked lens but worth a try for those looking for a lighter general lens.

I have both the 45 and the 50, and use them on my 100 ii. The 45 is clearly sharper and faster, but significantly larger. For street use, I typically prefer the 50 for size/weight convenience, but the 45 is really great overall.

Got the 50 on the GFX50R and expected to have to replace it when something better became available (like the 55/1.7 recently). Instead, I am happy with the performance and AF is pretty fast for GFX. So I'm still using it, next to a 30 and 110. Wide open, the sharpness is not as good as the other two but (the only thing that matters) plenty good enough. Can 100% recommend 🙂

I have a copy of the lens that I use with a GFX 50S II. I think it's fine as a daily use lens, if you like the focal length. I consider it to be the GFX alternative to the XF 27mm for X series. For general photography, I tend to prefer the longer focal length of the GF 63mm, and I find the GF 45mm to be too wide for my style. The GF 50mm is a good choice, for me, when I want the lightest solution.
