seems the perfect camera for idiots who believe the nonsense of a perfect wide angle lens and think image stabilisation, a high res EVF or even a tiltable LCD just hinders their creativity because they love how they can´t see much on their camera back on bright day...
@@johannes.f.r.Sorry í´m just amazed what bs some are willing to accept when they spot a p1 logo. 23mm on the gfx is not the equivalent to 40mm on the p1, so even here they need to say something untruthful to make this joke of a camera better looking...
@friendofarca6550 I'm still none the wiser as to how this affects you or would aggravate you. Generally the customers will understand pretty well what they are buying.

Here's the GPT 4o research: View Cameras Pros: Extensive Control: Offers the highest level of control over perspective and depth of field. Movements: Allows for tilt, shift, swing, rise, and fall movements, enabling precise adjustments. Image Quality: Large format negatives or sensors provide superior image quality and detail. Cons: Size and Weight: Large and cumbersome, making them difficult to transport and use in the field. Complexity: Requires a higher level of skill and understanding to operate effectively. Cost: Often more expensive due to the specialized equipment and larger film/sensor size. Tilt-Shift Lenses Pros: Portability: Much smaller and lighter than view cameras, making them more practical for everyday use. Perspective Control: Provides good control over perspective and focus for architectural and landscape photography. Compatibility: Can be used with DSLR and mirrorless cameras, integrating into existing camera systems. Cons: Limited Movements: Less versatile than view cameras, offering only tilt and shift (no swing, rise, or fall). Cost: Still relatively expensive compared to standard lenses. Learning Curve: Requires some practice and understanding to use effectively, though less so than view cameras. Focus Stacking Pros: Depth of Field: Allows for an extended depth of field beyond what is possible in a single shot, especially useful in macro photography. Flexibility: Can be used with any camera and lens combination. Post-Processing: Does not require specialized camera movements, achievable through software. Cons: Post-Processing Time: Requires additional time and effort in post-processing to combine images. Motion Artifacts: Moving subjects can cause issues, making it less suitable for dynamic scenes. Equipment: A sturdy tripod and consistent lighting are often necessary to achieve optimal results. Summary View Cameras are ideal for photographers needing maximum control over perspective and depth of field and are willing to work with larger, more complex equipment. Tilt-Shift Lenses offer a good balance of control and portability, suitable for architectural and landscape photographers who need some perspective correction in a more manageable form. Focus Stacking is best for situations requiring an extended depth of field, particularly in macro photography, and can be done with standard camera gear, though it requires more post-processing work.
Super funny, it's not truly revolutionary, it's "strongly inspired" by the SMDV Flip. Still, it's good to see Profoto fighting and competing with the other guys. They still don't have something competitive with the AD1200 but it's the only thing they are missing. In some cases, the Godox has a little bit more power or Recyceles faster like the AD300 or the AD600 pro but the Profoto is close. In other cases, the Profoto is better like the Pro 11 vs the Godox P2400. Profoto is always far more expensive but it's a premium brand with premium design and construction and the batteries don't die on you as easily. As the fight is going Profoto is going to thrive for many more years.
Thank you so much for this content! Would love to get any advice from Barry on how to deal with color crossover in lighten or luminosity mode while blending ambient and flash exposures
Hi Oleg, the way I avoid the color crossover is always shooting the flash shots at higher speed, where there's no ambient light. That way when the blend mode is changed to lighten, only the flash will show.

The CFV 100C would be awesome on a technical camera. Hasselblad should make a shutter like the Phase One X-shutter. Without it our only option is used Copal shutters on mostly older lenses.
Yes, this is true, although both Phase One and Hasselblad do offer Electronic Sensor Shutters (ES), which can work well (in fact I prefer it in most situations). It won't work with strobe at all on the Hasselblad, and only work with strobe at slow sync speeds on the Phase One, and any large objects would suffer from rolling shutter effect, but otherwise, works very well for static scenes with ambient light. Developing a new electro-mechanical shutter would be an expensive proposition for Hasselblad, Phase One is very active in industrial/aerial markets, which paid for the development of that shutter.
@@stevehendrix-ci8954 Thank you Mr. Hendrix. Since they (Hasselblad) already have developed their own leaf shutters, is it not a housing problem? I think they have at least three different leaf shutter versions, two for the H camera and at least one for the X system. I would love to have a CFV 100C for my Sinar p3 instead of the IQ180 I'm using now, but without shutters it's not usable.

Hi Steve - thanks for the video. I am tempted by the CFV 100C to be able to use it on a tech cam, but am concerned about its lack of IBIS when used handheld (I currently have the X2D). Would you say it's any easier to hold steady than the X2D when used handheld, at least with smaller lenses like the 28P, and XCD V series lenses? I realize it won't come close to having IBIS, but if I don't have to crank the ISO up very high a lot of the time, it would help in my consideration of this camera system. I know the sensor is great at higher ISO, but of course I'd rather keep it on the lower side. Perhaps using the neck strap and keeping it taught at waist-level helps, at least when shooting in landscape position. Any impressions/thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
I personally own a 100C and had the exact same concerns. The reason why i got mine was because of the sensor being same as X2D and the fact I can use my existing hasselblad film bodies with it. Regarding the lack of IBIS, the handling of the came both using a 38v or a 90v is fantastic, it is very evenly balance which makes holding it quite easy. That said, I noticed that if i respect the focal length rule ( if i am using 90mm i dont shoot below 90) my pictures if tac sharp, but if I sholt the 90 at 60mm, i end up with some shakes ( maybe my hands not as steady 😂)
one "room for improvement" I can think of , is with the new XC camera, their own adverts Don't explicitly say this is a NON-Interchangeable lens system, like the xt but ONLY wide angle!. One major thing, is that as these are so expensive (~$60,000 Australian); we need these 'out there' in camera stores, or bookable demo's entals, so we can experience this for ourselves, so we can know from experience, if this is a tool we can use, and verify the expense, esp. as this appears to be an elite solution, YOU should market this a little lower down, to the advanced enthusiast level, then the sales might be more?, or at least not targeting such a niece market; especially now, as the market is starting to fill with LF cameras, monorails from studio shutdowns, etc. Here is where the digital backs could be a 'new lease of life' for these second hand systems, or the new polaroid ( to LV focus, with assistance and use the exposure analysis tools to help newcomers to film to get things right), or offer digital outputs for their clients.
at 38:48, I agree, I have a H1 with the P45+ and did exactly that, in the central markets (adelaide), shot a shop window with those ugly glary fleuro lights, and got the shadow details back, even two or three stops later in Photoshop, What!, I would definitely have thought the shot was 'gone', but NO! totally recoverable....simply due to this dynamic range!!
yes, at 21:35 that may have been the first MF touch screen; but commercially, the Leica T was the first glimpse the 'general public' got for touch screen tech in camera systems (I-pads where of course the notable exception, but this is general, not specific computer technology, but granted the first concept of 'touch screen' and what many would instantly think of, when the word is mentioned).
Her Majesty the GfX 100 the secound....🤣🤣🤣 Is this now a marketing brief to ennoble this camera? I'll continue to call it the GFX100 TWO. Fortunately, the monarchy has been abolished here ;) Still a great camera that unfortunately i can not afford in the moment…
Fujifilm USA has been referring to it as the GFX 100 “The Second” in their Tech Talk and in their recent video here on YT. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jxCKSEqp9oA.htmlsi=1M2HIRJimjnJwp4S
Thank you for testing the continuous buffer! If others did, they didn't mention it. is it true that there is a 20fps cropped/electronic shutter mode for continuous stills? A couple other youtube reviews have mentioned it, despite it not being in the spec sheet.
In your example at the end, the clamp is too tight. You have ton be able to hear the second click when you close the lever. it's can be dangerous if it doesn't close properly, because it could open to the first click. The perfect settings is when you can still move your gear slightly at the first closing click (when the lever is perpendicular to the clamp) and only with full closure of the clamp your gear has to not be able to move any more.
This video was exactly what I was looking for, thank you for sharing this info! I had the opposite issue where my compatible tripod plate wouldn't fit in my new Arca Swiss ballhead. Loosening this dial did the trick.
I use two sets of cameras depending on the work. For light travel, where I require mobility, I use an M9-P and an M10-R (this one acquired at the beginning of this year from someone who switched to an M-11). In MF I carry a Leica S2 and a Fuji GFX 100. They are for different things, the Fuji for those images that either because the absence of the lens or the light I cannot do with the Leica. But regardless the IBIS, under the right conditions, the definition is better, and the color is much better with the Leica. When using MF I don’t need IBIS: can live with a tripod, and wouldn’t mind to switch the Fuji to a mirrorless S if the right circumstances come along. It is an issue that the Leica S lenses would not be adaptable to mirrorless, but I imagine that the next iteration of Leica’s MF will be a mirrorless camera. A natural pool of clients will be those already invested in the S system. I imagine they’ll do their best.
Is this an older video that was recently re-uploaded? The reason I'm asking is that this video doesn't mention the newer 100S model and at the end of the video, the pixel shift feature was described as going thru beta testing @ 1:04:30 .
As much as I like Leica, I wouldn't buy into the S system anymore. There is no lens development going on and the last body was just a sensor bump. The worst part is that there are no adapters to use the lenses on mirrorless bodies, so over time S-lenses will become the most worthless Leica lenses in existence. A real shame because the image circle would probably fit a 44x33mm sensor. SL is the way to go for a modern Leica system.
How may lenses do you really need? Just the fact that Leica makes adapters for other manufacturers' lenses is pretty astonishing to me. Unless you are just looking to accumulate gear and make Leica more income, the set of lenses available for the S is pretty sufficient. And as far as development is concerned, the S does pretty much everything I need in a hand-held SLR with stellar quality--they can stop where they are, just keep supporting the cameras and lenses.
yes, you are making a compromise, the PRICE, you are looking at the price of a luxury car, aka $30,000 Australian- $60,000 depending what you are getting, aka back, camera, lenses, so can be a lot more, and this doesn't include computer and monitor upgrades, as the quality is soo high, and the files soo large.
