The GR is all you need ! The camera of the future!

X-T20 is smaller and you can swap lenses. 18/2, 28/2.8.

Music is too loud.

Lenses with aperture ring: Sigma 17/4, 24/3.5, 90/2.8, Sony 40/2.5 and you have much focal range covered.

Thanks for this! Yours is the best comparison video I've seen re: these two amazing looking cameras. Very much appreciated!

Nice to see you here on RUclips. I Saw you First in the Facebook group of adapted lens on gfx. Hey made more videos about this theme. Love to see the Tamron 45mm pictures on this video. Share you Instagram account,i wanna follow you. Cheers from Brasil.

is this lense best choice for video? or 35?

Yo, I love your content, but can we please retire the term "shot" when we talk about photography. Cameras aren't guns, we make photographs with them.

Whats the point of making a video in the dark.

Autofocus, no one does any videos on it. Is it slooooww and unable to be used as an everyday carry? Not interested in sport etc. Also any blackout?

...great overview of m8...thanks for sharing!

George, this is by far one of the best reviews and overviews I have watched here or on any platform. You covered everything in an extremely professional and thorough way. Your delivery was outstanding. Your creativity was always incredible. Thank you for taking the time to do this, and for putting so much into the video, filming, production, and content. I recently purchased the 5D Mark 1 and Mark 2. I own several much newer cameras. I bought but lost the Sony A7 III, and using it made me not enjoy the newer features from more advanced cameras. I completely understand need for updated features. I use photography as a break away from running a national company, that works with higher risks youth, who live in poverty and deserve the best from myself and my team. I say that because my appreciation for photography is because it allows me to escape from deep thinking and always paying attention to the entire world. I only see the world through the view of my lens while my camera is in my hand. The simplicity of the 5D Mark 1 allows me to decompress and step back from the world. I also bought a few Leica cameras, for the same reason of why I appreciate the 5D. The difference between the Leica camera bodies I own and my 5D is the size and weight. My Leica cameras are all compact with attached lenses. These are my travel cameras. They are very portable. They do not give the level of excellence the 5D offers, but they do transform a trip to a new location in my own city or while traveling into a complete getaway.

Looks cool and can be a conversation starter? Go nuts if that’s what you want from a camera. Both fine cameras, work with what you have or like.

I like the design of Fuji x100, looks very stylish, unfortunately I have yet to find a single photo taken by it that I also enjoy. Yeah, they all look kinda ok, but I have this feeling that even canon powershot would achieve this quality under right conditions. Photos do not look professional level and I don't believe this - it's a man behind the camera that matters BS. You clearly are a professional, but even in your hands x100 looks like something shot on a point and shoot(which it is by the way), while A7c definitely has this high quality look. There are some shots when they look pretty close, but those shots are mostly when both of them look "meh". Then A7c excels, but Fuji keeps being meh. Just my opinion.

Great video!

The soundtrack in the video is too loud and distracting 😢

thank you so much, i think that is one of the absolute best reviews out there (and there are tons of)

Its 2024. I just bought this lens. Was so bored of it but then did more and more research I decided to try it out. NOW? Wow I love this lens on my A7 IV. Its amazing and so lightweight.

Anyone looking at one get the EG-S focusing screen, helps a lot to manual focus through the viewfinder.

Great review, sir! Fully comprehensive and well thought out. Thank you very much.

Found one for 1900$ mint w/o the lens. Do I really need the “medium format”? Still can’t figure out, but I really love the images out of this sensor size!

Can I use lower the shutter speed to mitigate the problem with light banding/flickering? I'm a wedding photographer from Indonesia and sometimes use the electronic shutter from A7R3. I use the 1/50 to eliminate the light banding

peace! great video, watched every minute. just bought my GFX 50S II so consuming all i can as i wait for it to arrive! would love to hear your opinion/see images you've shot with the Samyang combo - i LOVE that lens on my canon R5, have been really curious what it would do on a GFX sensor.

This is an amazing review, I love that you embraced the ir pollution. Definitely something I’m going to start with next Thursday when I’ll pick one up. ✌️

Wonderful work! Bravo!

a little repetitive, especially Part 5 - but great video!

hi, i'm in the middle of changing system currently. EIther Fuji GFX 50r or leica, is my only 2 choices. My question is, how hard is it to manual focus with it? especially with that mitakon. I dont do landscape, but I'd love to take a family photograph during family events, and travel purpose. So I wont need the wide angle lenses, I'd just buy the mitakon and 1 AF lens if i go down the GFX route. Please advise on how hard is it to manual focus. especially at night or at indoor. thank you kindly, and what a great video. I love videos where people dont review/talk about the latest and greatest gears only.. its getting so boring.. i love older gears talk/re review/long usage review. cheers!

I am taking absolutely horrible photos with this camera I can't even figure out how to take a photo on zoom clearly my shutter speed is all jacked up ... I need help 😭

god, that music made me turn it off

Superb comprehensive comparison. Thanks!

Exceptional video. Much more than an informal riff. Pure narrative.

Thank you for such a thorough comparison. It’s been really helpful.

These things are so impossible to find these days.

The medium format look is this: 1) High resolution images, esp in the case of film. Medium format film gives so much more detail than 35mm, but digital sensors can give high definition with a smaller sensor, so in the age of digital, this isn't such a big issue. 2) This is pure physics and even in the age of digital can only be changed by a focal reducer: Using a longer focal length lens at a closer range for a shallower depth of field. Ultra fast optics seem to help balance this with smaller sensors, but ultimately the sensor size, or effective size, does matter. You can try a test to see the difference. Take whatever camera you have, put a portrait length lens on it, and then take a full body picture of someone. Then, move closer, and a take multi panel image of the same person, 3 or 4 panels, and then stitch the panels together. The stitched image won't look great, don't worry about that, but you will be able to see the difference in lens compression with the exact same lens.

Im late but this video ain't! Good to see you back on here bro! The GFX 50r is tuff but Fujifilm got other plans. I hope to get one soon.

Nice video, by the way, where are you find the group for the Sony please? The little grip on the flash

cool insight. how does the ef 28 work on the gfx?

I have Fuji X100VI and A7cR+35mm f2.8. Main problem of Fuji is: It's automatics will not try to shoot 125 iso. It's unpredictable. Other problems of Fuji are: bad quality noise removing in JPEG and HIF, bad RAW editing app, No support for Fuji HIF on Mac.

1:28 a photographer big on consent ! yes thank you.

Do you feel that the low res of the viewfinder is a bother?

Yes. More, please.

I love mine; traded a Hasselblad 501CM with CFV-50c digital back for GFX 50R and a couple of zoom lenses. I really enjoy using it, and I wish they would do a 100R. (edit): I'd add three points. 1. You talk about the cropping flexibility but the MF sensor means that aggressive cropping without much loss of quality essentially extends your focal length, so my 100-200 zoom is almost like having a 100-400. 2. The MF sensor has comparatively low noise at higher ISOs, so I often shoot with fixed aperture and shutter speed, and auto ISO. That took a lot of mental recalibration after decades of shooting film. 3. The GF zooms are, to my eye at any rate, comparable in quality with primes in many situations. My 50R came with a 32-64 and I haven't looked at an image taken with it and wished that I had used a prime. Only criticism: I wish it wasn't so easy to move the exposure compensation dial when taking it out of the bag...

I used the 50R years ago along the 50S and I always came back to it and the 63mm -- but the 50S and the zoom was excellent; just not portable. Now the 100sii is here and the ergonomics are excellent again. As an owner of the XH2S, I still miss my XPro3. So unless. I would use long lenses and need a battery grip, I prefer the "viewfinder to the left" body. Hope Fujifilm will update this body sometime.

Mate, what is that small display under your main monitor?

Really good unbiased explanation of the camera and its features

GFX 50R is zero hype, all real deal. Super unique camera. With that Mitakon.. no other system conveniently offers that particular look.

50R sitting at $3k+ today hurts.

Thanks Lonnie, I found this really helpful!

Really appreciate this video. I have had an x-t5 since release and an very happy with the camera and have some great lenses for it. Having had the x70, then the x100v, then x70, then x100v...and now x100vi I have concluded that the x70 is very nice and compact, but lacking in many ways. The x100vi on that sensor is wonderful... but now too similar to the x-t5 in many ways that was never the case with the previous x100 and X-T cameras. I want a compact camera, but while it will fit in a pocket, it's not super compact. I also want something different, yet it's no longer as different as it once was. The ND is nice, but the 1/180000 shutter speed for non-flash and non-video does the job too on both x-t5 and x100vi. The OVF is nice, but I only use it because it's there and I wish to the OVF was better. I find it an awkward child rather than a Goldilocks. I've also started leaning more towards 18 and 27mm on apsc. With Fuji apparently bringing a gfx version of the x100 next year, I have obsessed over getting a GFX50R and 50 3.5 used to at least test the waters. I would never want the huge lenses, nor their price tags. So a gfx in the style of the x100 with (in all likelihood) an adapted 50 3.5 is mighty appealing for my "something different" camera. A GR for lightweight camera could then fill that hole. I have the 27 1.2 for the x-t5 so am not going to gain anything with the 50 3.5 (1.8 equiv on apsc) but I do stop that lens down also. What I would like to do is this summer take the x100vi and gfx50R+50mm 3.5 on a two week road trip I have coming up and just see where I'm at. The X-t5 is my comfort blanket so would leave that and all my nice lenses. How do you find that dial on the shutter button, though? Looks Ike it would be easy to nudge when taking a shot!

Probably the closest thing to a digital Mamiya 7
