You guys have been productive, first Canon, now Fuji video produced on the same "vacation". You're worth every penny DPR is paying you. When I see "shot on the reviewed system", I get comfortable in my chair and start watching closely, love it! Would love a little insert or CC channel to see the lens used for each scene for your videos that aren't shot with a single lens.
Chris Niccolls? More like Crisp Niccolls. Is it me or the GFX100 footage looks crisper and sharper (not in an unpleasing way) than with Jordan's usual setup?
Hmm, I'm intrigued. I've got a 35-70mm kit lens, but I'm toying with doing the 45-100mm and this 30mm as a nice combo. Reading between the lines though, and it doesn't sound like this 30mm offers much more than a zoom, and has flare issues. I'm sure it's sharp, but maybe I'll just keep and use my 35-70mm at smaller apertures for landscapes, then get the 45mm as a more all-around faster option, and add an 80mm or 110mm for portraits. I can't complain about the 35-70mm that's for sure.
I often hike with my 50S + GF23 but for longer hikes I often opt for the GF50 because it's so compact and lightweight. The GF30 could be just what I need. Fuji is putting out small primes to allow photographers to use medium format where hard or close to impossible before. In the day to day real life usability trumps specialized needs and a small, slow lens comes with you when the "sexy" big, fast lens stays at home.
Personally I'd prefer the 45-100mm and the 30mm 3.5 - the 32-64mm is a great lens but I don't really use the wide angle as much. So for me I'd make more sense to have a longer zoom and the wider prime.
Yes just got it and love it on the 100 where IBIS allows hand held shooting with this lens at fairly low shutter speed. For landscape photography this with the 45-100 may be a minimal (light!?) kit that could work.
love the video shot at 3:29min that is a ridiculously sharp image for 100meg medium format and the tracking shot @ 1:05 cant see any problems with rolling shutter. I have the S1H and I love the Vid res but I miss my Nikon 800 for photo Res
GFX owner here, did you figure out a way to switch selected faces in focus whilst using the EVF? The manual could have been an extra 300 pages long, it would not have hurt. Also, have you figured out how to rate images without going deep down in the menus? The button combo stated in the manual does not seem to work with the new firmware. Thank you!
Can someone explain the reason for having a medium format vs full-frame camera? It seems to me that there's no benifit to the gfx line as their lenses are all darker than what's available for ff, so the equivalent noise and dof would be exactly the same.
Assuming you mean what I think you mean by sensor reflections, then the lens does play a part, as it has to reflect them back again (or you wouldn't see them). This is why having a filter on the front of a camera for night shots usually causes problems, as bright lights in/near the shot reflect back so well from its flat inside surface (usually as a green blob). www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63666503
GFX is the start to bringing medium format to the masses. Well photo enthusiast masses. Yes it's still 10k but not even a decade ago this would cost you a GTR.
That is a bad strategy from Fuji. As you correctly mentioned while Fuji film has 32-64mm F4 while needs 30mm F4? I hope Fujifilm will wake up and make more bright lenses in that way they can beat FF world ;)
I do NOT like zooms, the one you mention weighs 875 grammes and are 116mm long cost $2300, the 30mm weighs 508 grammes and are 99mm long cost $1700, so the 30mm lens have a superior images quality, handles easier and are cheaper, THAT´s what I like about prime lenses, you do NOT need all that bungee jumping lenses, 2 or 3 prime lenses and you can do nearly all kind of photography !
Someone sold me his GFX 50R for 2300€ and im happy with the Camera. Its little slow to work with, but the Pictures look nice. I dont understand why fuji isnt bringing faster aperture lenses. at the moment i adopt sigma art lenses and get really nice bokeh. The Pictures of this 30mm 3.5 lens look good, but they dont look like u have taken them with a 10000dollar camera to me...
I want to see a 135mm F1.8 for this camera with the same sharpness as the Sony. It's also worth noting that the Panasonic S1R body is light and compact compared with this one. Cost is the only thing that would deter me from buying a medium format camera.
at the moment? MF gear has ALWAYS demanded a premium because of all the glass having to cover larger sensors, and now at that resolution. Come to think of it, $1700 is a steal if you make comparisons to other MF... and some FF mirrorless with half the resolution power. It actually makes More sense rather than none.
If you consider that fuji will sell less of them because medium format is expensive, and that it has to cover more then full frame and resolve 100 megapixel, I think you are getting a reasonable deal(Especially because a comparable hasselblad lens costs twice as much, and a schneider phase one four times as much.)
With the current lens options, Fuji GFX bodies makes no sense. A typical Sony/Canon Full frame will give better results for literally half the price of the set up. Heck, even Fuji's own XT30 crop sensor will give better results just because the variety of lens you got there.
@@problemat1que in price to performance ratio. And most of the factors you just mentioned CAN be corrected in post processing. It's totally a preference thing if you wanna go spend double the budget on a marginally "better" camera system. Fujis cant be Hasselblads. Period.
@@problemat1que people who seek "evidences" in RU-vid comment sections for some opinion which is true but sounds no melodious to their years and think of themselves as pros by grabbing a higher end costly camera to be better at photography, and do not have counter logic to their arguments. 😂😂
