I shoot with the Mk1 and Mk2 and its driving me bloody insane.

Shooting automotive and some portraits with the R5ii . . . the R5ii COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL R5, just doesn't have the dynamic range I need. At major car events and Concourse d'Elegance, the best photo time is often before the gates open at usually 9:00 a.m. The light is fine, but isn't strong. With the original R5, early morning shoots are never a problem. Beautiful images. But with the R5ii . . . noise. Same lens. Same locations. Noise. So as much as I love the R5ii, I'm selling and buying a new original R5. The R5 just works better for me.

I have good experience with third party batteries. Specifically with a specific brand. I have a Canon 5d mark4 camera and bought a Jupio battery. It is a Dutch brand and comes with a 3 year warranty. The original Canon battery (LP-EN6) is 1865 mAh, the JUPIO is slightly more powerful at 2040 mAh and lasts longer. I didn't count, I didn't test it, but it can handle it noticeably better. I bought the JUPIO battery more than 4 years ago and it is still in good condition. Nevertheless, I am careful and that is why I watch these videos. Now I have a Canon R6 II camera, which would be nice to have a spare battery, I might try the Jupio again because it has worked so far.

What can I say! Awesome video! I’ll get a 100s 2 next year!

just wow

Thanks for all the work you have done on trying ef lenses… after switching from canon to nikon to sony and now to fuji gfx i had hundreds of lenses … some that I also had with canon/nikon seem to be real gems for the gfx system - may I ask you if you tried a side by side bokeh test with the 110gf ? 1.4 to 2.0 is a difference but how about lemon shaped bokeh ? Any issues with chromatia a… ? The fringer is surely fun but more when you still have ef lenses - I just got my 100sii and the 20-35mm and was thinking of adding the 55/80/110/250 and a 45-100 to keep it simple for travel (20-35+45-100) - would love to add a 24mm EF 1.4 lens but for astro edge to edge sharpness is important… anyway thanks for testing for us ! P.s. have I seen right that you have a great dane?

can you use the Godox v1 with the electronic shutter on the 5 ii?

Nice walkthrough!

Refreshing how you can put this hundred dollar pancake lens to professional payed use, thanks for sharing your views and results and review with us. While you happily use the stuff and make beautiful keepers with it, that balance between costeffective gear and high creativity is difficult to find elswhere on other tech-youtuber channels. While other tech-tubers try hard to sell the most expensive or the newest gear to us via payed links, you simply share your stories, of a holiday to Austin for example, while in the meantime exploring the gear used and share your findings with us. I admire that. Exposure, focus, settings, aspect ratio, black and white, composition, film grain, difference between vignet on and off, and once again, on and off, so we can see and judge and decide for ourself. Looking forward to future videos on things you find interesting, I personally find GFX system compelling, with adapted existing EF lenses and manual adapted (pankace small sharp) vintage lenses. The effort you put in the videos is highly appreciated. Unique. Happy to have found your channel sir. Hope to enjoy this channel for a loong time.

Fantastic wedding

5:25 Nice skin colors! Nice eye colors as well! What Film Simulation did you use for this? And what extra custom changes to Highlight / Shadow / Tone / Sharpness did you add?

Super helpful, thanks! When do you set up eye tracking when shooting a wedding? Just for certain scenarios like walking down the aisle?

👍👍👍

I finally got myself a GF 35-70, and it's great. I'm selling my camera now, and plan to get this GFX100 II in the future, when I can afford it. Hopefully they'll update the firmware to fix the auto-focus issues, though I'm sure it will be a nice step up from the original GFX100 anyway, even if they don't. I'm wondering if you ever use your 70-200mm f2.8 L IS on your GFX100 II. I think I'm going to end up with a GF 20-35, GF45-100, GF110, and Tamron 150-600, but I'm really curious about that 70-200mm f2.8 L IS, since I miss mine (loved using that lens on my Canon 5 D). Thank you for this video and all the videos you make about the GFX system cameras and lenses. I found you because of your videos that show your full-frame lenses on your Fringer adapter, just so you know.

Wow very very nice shots! I hope I can ask you two questions. About Iceland and the shots. 1. which month do you recommend for Iceland? 2. which drone did you use to take your shots?

Hi, sorry, I know this post is a year old now, but I'm thinking hard about that Samyang and wondering if what you have is a v2. I'm seeing a v2 for Nikon but not for EF. Thanks for the consistently great GFX content!

I ordered the 28-70 and I wait for Black Friday to buy the r5 ii. it's a huge upgrade from sony a7iii and a7 iv, so I can't wait to try it. also your videos are the perfect ratio of information and creativity.

Is the AF fast enough for relatively fast moving subjects? Let’s say running? Idc if it’s not instant or noisy.

what uv filter are you using

First waterfall is seljalandsfoss and not kvernufoss…

I bought v1 pro f but it doesn’t seem to work with xt 5. Is there a reason?

I like this camera. But not yet have camera..😢

Perfect example of a “show, not tell” review.

I miss my fuji!! Def need to pick one up soon for fun

as an editor this what am waiting for

If every image is soft, that’s not ‘fine’. It’s a professional’s camera. It needs to work as well as a stock lens or better to make an adapter a viable option. Otherwise it’s just a toy.

Great content Ely..Always appreciate your efforts, and your real life pro thoughts and input. The community thanks you sir.

Phenomenal shots!

Beautiful shots, which drone was that ?

I'm interested in the gfx100s for my 24, 50 and 135mm ts-e lenses. Do you have any experience with these optics?

Great photo mate ! And great sound too ! Any video soon to share how you get this so bright and deep voice sound ? i have the Rode NT1 5 and my sound is not as clean than yours

I have quite a few EF lenses just sitting around when I moved to the Fuji X-H2. I was curious whether you noticed any vignetting. I would love to get my hands on a GFX camera. If the EF lenses work well, this might make it worth while for me. 😁

It is so refreshing to hear your perspective on this camera with real world examples! Great video, thank you for sharing!

just stop drinking before shooting and you're good to go

You should set up triple AF back button. For me that I shoot sports I have the main one for general tracking, AE lock for eye AF, and AF point button to register/recall and set up for spot af area and non-tracking. That way you never need to go and change AF modes

Thank you for the video. Just bought a new R52 yesterday with 35 1.8... which system is best for video editing? PC or MacBook Pro?

Adding one of the locked AF areas to your available choices eliminates tracking.

Thank you!

Your video included the pair of LP-E6P batteries, but there was no mention of the third-party battery issue and its specific limitations. It is rumored that Canon might have an upcoming firmware update will enable the LP-6NH to function normally with the R5ii.

The banding on 9:10 is probably due to lens correction in Lightroom.

Your reviews led me to buy an adapter.

Thank you Ely I appreciate this hard work. What were the top reasons you wanted to upgrade? Any features you didn’t need really?

Looks Amazing! You captured it perfectly, really makes me wanna go!

One question, how did you remove the tripod collar from this 105mm Sigma lens?

I shoot with the R5C as I need high end video as well as stills however with electronic shutter there’s always flicker of indoor lights. Have you noticed that on the R5II or I?

Great shots buddy!

amazing shots, scrolling is a bit annoying, so i checked the post myself

Can you select a smaller single AF point like you can on canon cameras? That single af point was pretty huge. I also shoot canon and want to add this cam to my workflow. Does the 70-200 2.8, 100mm 2.8 & 24-70mm 2.8 work on it as well or do they need adapting? Thanks for a great tutorial and the samples.
