🤣 I would never buy a totally over priced OVF camera, a black & white only camera is eve worse ! You need to use filters when you shoot with a black & white sensor camera, with a color camera it is so easy to do, you can even control each color, that you cannot with the b+w only sensor camera !!! One of the most stupid hypes of all time !
B&W is classic. When they started to colorize old films it was awful. I shoot about 80% of my work in B&W and a majority of them are shot on the M10M. I also convert a majority of the images from my SL3 to B&W. I just wish Leica would release the SL as a B&W only. would be awesome and I would no longer have to convert. You really just have to shoot with a true monochrom to really understand the difference.
I have the XT5 and when i mount my Voigtlander 35mm 1.5 when making changes to the SHUTTER or ISO i can see the changes being made thru the viewfinder, when changing the APERTURE it always reads 0, is this NORMAL? Thanks in advance.

I've used Nikon flagship cameras and pro lenses with weather sealing in the rain, snow, and sleet with no protection for 25 years. Never had a problem. Recently switched to the Canon R3 and L lenses. I've used that gear in some pretty heavy rain and so far no issues with that system either. The only time I really used any protection was on an old 300mm that didn't have weather sealing. Maybe I've just been lucky, but it's been 25 years of good luck. But now I've been watching videos about how I need to wrap my cameras and lenses in the latest Think Tank Hydrophobia rain covers or my equipment is going to fry. So, now I'm paranoid.
My only worry about switching to nikon zf is the lack of high quality small auto AF glass. Their pancake lenses are ok... and the rest are way bigger than the excellent new f1.4 primes that fuji came out with.... if i could get away with just shooting manual lenses i would be fine. But since i need AF, fuji makes them better, in a small form factor.
A lot of assumptions in this video based on camera industry misinformation. What scientists like to call "lies we tell children." Examples: if the images look different from this camera than from a GFX camera with the same sensor (all the 100mpx models) it's not because of hardware or "color science." It's because of default raw profiles. Lenses? Very slight differences. Color science is a meaningless term. Everyone is bound by the same color science. Companies build different color preferences into their raw formulas-but you're not bound to using those. "This camera is sensitive in the highlights." No more than every other digital camera. All digital cameras have a linear respons up until clipping. There are zero differences here. If you experience some as behaving differently, this again is the default raw profile you're using. It's an area where the lies they tell children go too far, in my opinion. A true professional camera should show you actual raw histograms, so you can know what's actually going on. Bizarrely, no camera maker that I know of does this. 14-bit and 16-bit files the same size? This means either 1) they're making the 14-bit files pointlessly large, or 2) the 16-bit files aren't really 16-bit. At the end of the day it's all dumb, because the analog dynamic range of this sensor is only infinitesimally higher than 14 bits. You can prove it with a controlled side-by-side test. "ISO." One of the worst lies told to children. Camera makers just need to eliminate this. The Hasselblad, like the Fujis, uses a Sony dual-gain sensor. The gain levels are low and high. You get high gain at ISO 500 and above, low gain below ISO 500. Otherwise, the only difference ISO makes is to the preview image and to the way the raw file appears before you adjust the software gain. It's all just a pointless complication. Typical skeuomorphic design to either confuse us or insult our intelligence. I'm not singling out Hasselblad here; everyone does it. I just wish camera reviewers knew enough to call them out.
in the YT marketing world mythes and emotions are needed to praise and make you buy a certain system when the facts are less convincing compared to the competition. so I´m not surprised that hasselblad and the yt crowd wants you to focus on certain points with the hope you forget the problematic rest.
...a really funny watch but v and h systems were used by many professionals while the new generation is almost an amateur system exclusively, guess why ? its not very hard to find out.....
This is the camera my heart tells me to buy along with the 55 and 90 F2.5 lenses. My brain and wallet say buy the Fuji gfx 100s or 100s II and the 45-100 F4 and a fast prime. I'm not a smart man so I'm pretty sure I know how I will go unless I skip digital all together and go with the 500 C/M and 80mm F2.8 that I know later I will get the 907x and 100c.
I am Canon shooter but i much prefer screen like sony has, much better for my photography, especially waist level shooting. I dont shoot video but if i did i would have separate larger monitor anway attached.
Thanks for your observations. Just one suggestion - get a stand for your microphone. Also found your 'coverage' of image quality by doing a single side by side photo comparison with a Canon R5 was inadequate. Who is going to consider shelling out $2000 for a camera and only want to hear about how it's look or feel compares to a crop-sensor option, even if that is the revered (ed-sarcasm) Fuji.
Nice breakdown Andrew! I agree about under exposing. This looked really stable hand held the colors were not punchy but I liked them. I have been using the phone app remote function and I love it. You can tap the screen to focus and it doesn’t lag. It also connects easily. I actually prefer using the phone as a remote better than having a flip out screen.
your findings would indicate that Nikon over states it's Af sensitivity by close to 10 stops .... if you are shooting at 1/250 f1.8 and the camera is struggling you are only at about 9EV ( Not even close to the -9EV advertised by Nikon ). Please explain or do a proper low light test and compare a couple of different cameras. Something is wrong here !?!
Great test, so cool to see! Looking at renting/buying the Sigma soon - if I use it for video, and decide to do manual focus, is the manual focus linear, or not? Currently have the Sony 70-200 F4, which is great and compact, but manual focus is difficult because of it's non-linear manual focus.
Man Mark this is a great Q. I've been doing some digging and from what I've seen the E mount isn't actually linear but it "acts" linear if that makes sense. Sigma E mount lenses us a High-response Linear Actuator, whereas their L mount are in fact Linear. I'd recommend trying it out yourself for sure and seeing if it feels better than your current Sony F4
I think they could figure out a way to allow you to control dials and stuff with your hands, that seems pretty much the direction it can go, we have a lot of that technology that we used in products like Nintendo Wii. But I don’t think that will end up happening because it’s actually more work on the person. Minority report made it look cool but you can ask any hairstylist how tiring raising your hands can get. I’m thinking more like Wii style controllers
I photographed the 2017 eclipse with a canon 60D and a 400mm canon lense i rented from you guys. This time around I didn’t rent in time and everything was rented out so I shot video on my blackmagic 6k and a 135mm lens. I live in central Arkansas so it was nice to not have to travel out of state this time… my video is on my channel.
Hi, recently I’m thinking to switch from GFX100S to Nikon z8 because of better versatility that I can shoot all kind of photography much better. But still I am not sure if this decision is good or not. Because between 14 and 16bit is huge difference and I cannot cover it by pixel shift or enhancing resolution in post! Although this difference is not visible by human eyes and only is important for aggressive cropping or X-Large print but I believe I can recognize beautiful deep dynamic range produced by my GFX100S! So, shall I sacrifice all in one camera for 16bit image quality, or I should sacrifice 16bit IQ to have all in one camera system?!
This is a really common delimma I see a lot of my creative friends face. At the end of the day only you know what you need and want out of a camera. 16bt depth is really lovely to have, but if it's in a body/system that is limiting to you and your photo goals than it may not be the best choice!
Awesome! And to have captured solar prominences. For 2017, I used my Canon 5D III with a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L from LensRentals. I was not able to travel for 2024.
Doooope! I got some clips of the eclipse with the Red Komodo as well! I was slightly off totality though so my shots were not as epic as yours. Used the Canon RF 100-400 with the 2x extender to go up to 800mm.
