After Five Years Was And Is The Fuji GFX 50s Worth The Price

I purchased the Fuji GFX medium format camera 5 years ago. After all these years, it has been a great camera and the images are amazing, but was it worth the price. Even better is it worth the price today in 2022.
Medium format digital cameras and lenses are expensive so would I buy the GFX 50s again?
Here are my thoughts about this lens after using it for five years, a couple images, and whether I think it was worth the investment.

Full Disclosure - I do not work for Fuji or have any sponsorship from the company. This is my honest feedback and thoughts about the Fuji GFX 50s camera.

Thanks for this. I own two GFX50S's and 7 lenses and love the system. I use it on a monopod.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Fuji GFX 50s.
I’m in the process now of getting the Fuji GFX 50sii with Fuji gf
45-100mm f/4 for the sake of Art.

Thank you for the comment. Enjoy the 50s II. The 45-100 is a really good general purpose lens. Enjoy!

This is a FABULOUS camera.. an absolutely tank of a build, insanely amazing IQ and a classic in the making!

[@marshalljvanderhoofphoto]

Completely agree. The images this camera produces are amazing. It really is hard to believe how old this camera is already given how modern it still feels.

Thanks for the sharing.

Thanks for watching! Happy to share my experience.

Thanks for the video. I'm finishing up with the commercial photography program at my school, and looking at getting into the 50s, or a nikon d850. Have you tried any of the lens adapters for nikon/canon on the 50s? All my glass is nikon at the moment.

[@marshalljvanderhoofphoto]

Congrats on finishing up the schooling. I have not used much of the Nikon glass on the 50s,but have used quite a bit of Canon glass. There is definite cropping needed especially for telephoto lenses. Normal lens (50mm) is pretty good. The images are sharp but the vignetting is noticeable or doesn't cover the image circle completely.

Just bought the GFX50s with the battery grip used for $3K as a back up for my old 50s that I purchased a few years ago, and this camera is amazing. I had an option to purchase also the larger GFX 100 for $5400, but thought to be an overkill. Perhaps I should have bought that, as well, lol.

[@marshalljvanderhoofphoto]

Congrats on the new purchase. I really like the 50s. The GFX 100 is an amazing camera as well, but I have not found any situation yet where I wish I had more megapixels than what the 50s delivers.

[@jorgemoro5476]

I shoot the 50r and 100s. And I love them both!!

[@marshalljvanderhoofphoto]

Thank you for the comment. I really like the system. I really want to try out the 100s.

[@georgesealy4706]

It is still an awesome camera. I check Ebay every so often so see the current prices.

[@marshalljvanderhoofphoto]

Completely agree. It was a big investment 5 years ago, but the fact that I still use it in my business it was totally worth every penny.

[@Rick--A-F]

I love my 50S. I don't mind the size of the camera and lenses when using them, but I wish they'd shrink when I'm trying to put them in my camera bag!

[@marshalljvanderhoofphoto]

I totally wish the gear would shrink a little so I could fit more into my bag s well.

[@FlatulEssence]

I have the same difficulties finding an appropriate bag to accomodate the body and the battery grip and 6 more lenses, including the GF250mm and the 110mm, since I always have one lens mounted and never detach the battery grip and the viewfinder extension on one of the bodies.
