will the Canon EF lens work with autofocus if I get an adapter? i got this with the 55mm lens, and yes, the focus SUCKS!!!! but if you use 2.8f then it suddenly improves... but god the footage is that of Arri or Panavision.
I don't care what anyone says, the price tag, the specs, the lens selection... the GFX100 Mark 2 is the nicest looking camera on the planet by a very wide margin. Fuji knocked the styling out of the park. Everything else is just a bonus feature.
@@hanscastorpx why? The UI is one of the most complicated (probably only Sony has more tabs) plus it looks ugly (I guess it’s taste, but icons, fonts, and graphics feel dated like if they are from 90s). Then ergonomics is also worse: body is heavier, lenses are also bulkier and heavier than XCD counterparts. I guess GFX has wider choice of lenses since X series is fairly new, plus Hasselblad is somewhat slower with producing new lenses, but you can adopt H-lenses if you need which will make the lens selection much broader.
@@VitVids Sony's menu is indeed a nightmare, I deal with it on a daily basis:) Hasselblad has a cool menu, reminds me a bit of blackmagic. It's lighter, more compact, but I find it bad to hold well and it's just slow. You can attach a lot more lenses to the GFX in addition to the system lenses
@@hanscastorpx I guess grip is individual, I have no issues holding mine. By slow you mean while using or fps? When using X2D is very fast in fact, previous versions were slow. 3.3 fps is not much but I never use burst mode (I’d get full frame camera for that)
Going 3:2 on your sensor is fantastic if you - for example - want to use low budget anamorphic lenses from laowa, sirui, great joy etc. this gives you a 2.4:1 ratio instead of an 2.8:1 ratio which you’d get with a 16:9 ratio or a full frame sensor. Or in short “nobody will use it, but if some one does, it’s pretty cool” 👽.
1. The best ISO performance on the market. 2. 16bit RAWs. 3. The best auto focus on any medium format system 4. The best medium format lenses for the buck with incredible optics. 5. The best view finder. 6. 4k 60fps in medium format. "It's just a flex, don't buy it" - Are you mad?!?
lmao if you think the 100II is only to flex you don't understand the camera Edit: the focus issues are lens dependent. The linear motor lenses are much better. Unfortunately the 55 doesn't have that.
1st video of yours I have seen - appreciate a human with personality on youtube where it doesn't feel like you're putting on a character to read a spec sheet. Keep up the good work, cheers.
I want a GFX so bad but I just can't do it cost wise. I have the A7R V and I feel like it's close enough that I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a lot of situations.
I also have the A7RV and I agree with you. I also bought an A7CII for portability. Same lenses and same color science. Buying into another brand forces you to also buy lenses. GFX glass ain't cheap.
It's a great camera, but the lens selection is limited to simple wide-angle and light telephoto focal lengths. Portrait photographers and architectural photographers with the new tilt lenses are sure to be delighted. It is a niche camera for the professional photographer.
For a few years I've been mainly using R5 for my commercial jobs. I am hired to shoot sometimes at an advertising agency's studio and they have a few GFX 100 bodies there that I use. The still files are so nice and often when I shoot there we sometimes pull multiple crops from the same frame/file. The large sensor lets you do that. Unfortunately for me I am so deep into the Canon ecosystem (and a bunch of Hasselblad lenses) that I keep hoping Canon comes out with something to blow my socks off...and waiting and waiting...
I bought it and LOVE it. I used it to record a fashion show after my C70 bricked. It worked flawlessly. I did not have a rig so the monitor, v-mount and teradek were bolted to the side of the tripod. I did not buy it for video but it does the job in a pinch
Seems a bit silly. Everything is relative. A camera can have "good autofocus," but if every camera on the market has better autofocus, then it's not truly that great is it? Just using that as an example. You can't really review the camera in a vacuum. You need to look at what it offers in comparison to what else you could spend your money on.
@@yeetiesandwheaties I would use this camera for landscape photography, as I have with other GFX bodies, and the lens is always in manual focus. So doesn't matter how good autofocus is on other cameras/systems, I'm not using it shoot flying birds or sport cars..
@@collodionpositive554 yeah, but the review isn't made for you. The review is made for all photographers. And most photographers do use autofocus. Again, on my previous comment - it's complete nonsense to review a camera in a vacuum and pretend that no other cameras exist. Everything is relative. If this camera was released 10 years ago, it would go down as the greatest camera of all time, as it would be so dominantly superior than any other camera you could possibly buy. But it's releasing today, so it must be compared to today's offerings to make sense. This shouldn't offend anyone. He's doing the review correctly. Sorry that this camera can't win every single category.
@@yeetiesandwheatiesthe AF is fine for anything besides birds in flight, high speed sports and F1 racing. Perfectly acceptable for any casual photography.
🇩🇪 Red Targa. Nice. A work of art. Park it in the living room. Fuji modern technology looks good too. With all those pickles you can crop away all you want and still have excellent quality. 👍🏼✅. Good job.
Awesome vid brother. God bless Steven Curtis😂 You listen to his sons, Colony House? They’re dope! I have the GFX 50sii for photos. I love the images. HATE that doesn’t have usable video. makes no sense. I mainly keep a vintage Minolta 50mm 1.4 on it. It somehow covers the whole sensor with a tiny bit of vignetting sometimes. the cam definitely inspires me to take more photos❤
Its with every camera and i gotta say its always a pros until u get a hands on the camera and u start finding for cons. Thats how it is, its never ending. Be happy with what you have and stop being a collector instead become a skill-full photographer and videographer with a vast knowledge.
The GFXii exists just to brag to fellow photographers and videographers. 99.9% of the population wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and the X-H2S. It's an amazing camera but do you NEED it? Very few people would be able to say yes.
It’s all a flex. Whether apsc with the great glass, full frame with great glass. Those are flexing on dslrs with glass that is less on paper. Thats is what money is….a flex.
My only complaint with this camera is that it isnt TRUE medium format. For true medium format video that truly gives you something unique, i think the hasselblad h6d 100c is about the only thing out there.
There is no standard size for medium format sensors in digital cameras. Basically as long as it's bigger than full frame but smaller than 130mm it's considered medium format. True medium format film stock is even bigger than the Hassleblad medium format sensor. There are definitely diminishing returns once you go bigger than full frame. The GFX might not be true medium format but the sensor is still huge and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
What you should do is purchase the proper sort of camera for the particular sort of job which needs to be accomplished. Fuji GFX cameras sure as hell are NOT 35 mm style digital cameras, nor were they meant to be. Fuji GFX cameras are a semi truck sort of camera built into a Nissan style body. They can accomplish a hell of a lot with regard superb to image quality ... but they're hardly meant to be point and shoot cameras.
You can get a 50MP medium format for under $2k, the 100S for under $3k. You can shoot it in P with a $400 50mm or 35-70. It absolutely can be a point and shoot. Matter of fact, it replaced my Fuji GA645 as the digital version of it.
@@MikeLikesChannel - You can't get a Fuji 50 MP from an official dealer at that price. And if you use such a medium format camera as just a point and shoot camera, then you don't know what a medium format camera is meant for. It's not exactly a sports camera, or a camera meant for a photojournalist style anything - least of all a photojournalist style wedding photographer. It's like calling a 357 Magnum a Saturday night special. But ... It's more like a Volkswagen bug with an 8 cylinder diesel engine.
FUJIFILM!.. Make the sensor a little bigger! Also make the next 100 or higher megapixel GFX camera with a GLOBAL SHUTTER!.. and while your at it make a CCD color simulation and include it in that camera.
@@ZachMayfield Yeah I unfortunately don’t really like cars. I don’t own one, I prefer bikes & trains additionally (aside from my taste) I find car photography a boring trope and not very creative. Unfortunately it’s endemic among American RUclipsrs ☹️

i come for zachs in-depth technical analysis of camera technology, i stay for the lessons on how to manage a financially responsible youtube channel
First Lesson: Don't buy this camera
I want a GFX so bad but I just can't do it cost wise. I have the A7R V and I feel like it's close enough that I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a lot of situations.
I also have the A7RV and I agree with you. I also bought an A7CII for portability. Same lenses and same color science. Buying into another brand forces you to also buy lenses. GFX glass ain't cheap.
@@jean-philippeperetti8463 Yeah and the existing GFX glass isn't all that fast. There are FF lenses that let in more light and will have more bokeh
You can buy older models with the similar amount of cash.
I got 50r. Not too expensive.
@@iamtesting3824 I've been eyeing the 50R actually. If I see one go up for a fair price locally I might pounce.
I have GFX-100s and also A7RIV. I have 3 GF glasses and I use Sigma lenses to complement other focal lengths that is lacking in Fuji's lens line up.
It's a great camera, but the lens selection is limited to simple wide-angle and light telephoto focal lengths. Portrait photographers and architectural photographers with the new tilt lenses are sure to be delighted. It is a niche camera for the professional photographer.
Yeah, but the same issue applies to all medium format bodies - it sucks
What medium format Sony camera are you using as a comparison?
Those who say full-frame is no different from medium format… haven’t shot medium format.
For a few years I've been mainly using R5 for my commercial jobs. I am hired to shoot sometimes at an advertising agency's studio and they have a few GFX 100 bodies there that I use.

50R for shooting medium format photos with the iconic fuji feel. X-H2s for video always, hands down best hybrid camera to date
I bought it and LOVE it. I used it to record a fashion show after my C70 bricked. It worked flawlessly. I did not have a rig so the monitor, v-mount and teradek were bolted to the side of the tripod. I did not buy it for video but it does the job in a pinch
Hi men do you recomend this camera for video)
@@adanchagolla8685 No. there are better options out there. However Fuji is moving in the right direction
I wish Fuji had been more forthcoming about the images in high-speed/8fps being 12-bit. I was excited about the camera, but that detail gave me pause.
The minute you justified your statement with "because Sony", I stoped watching. Total irrelevancy.
