1:50 This is SUCH an underrated feature! I really wish my X-T1 and X-T2 did this. It's amazing how many times I'm shooting close to the stomach or chest with the screen tilted and it all of a sudden goes black! Beyond that, I love coming to your videos for conformation bias. Haha! It's an echo chamber I'm happy to be in.
@@tedtedsen269 But then you need to fiddle with it every time you want to take a picture. Fuji could probably just release firmware so all the models had the same feature, it really is super helpful when shooting low angles.
I can’t imagine not shooting at all without having my 50R. It simply blows me away every time. The 63 is just primo. I can only imagine the 110. I’ve been using a few lenses including the older bronica ETR lenses, an old pentacon zeiss 80mm 2.8, and it’s pure pleasure breathing life back into these lenses. Still, the 63 blows me away every time I use it.
Thank you so much Matt for giving me good knowledge on cameras, just upgraded from my 5d mk II to the III and I am having such a blast. Love your work and you take the best photos ever!
Your sample shots here are noticeably better imagine quality than everything else I've ever seen on this channel. I'm sold, I just don't have enough money for it haha
Thank you Mattias! You told and showed me all I need to know in a short but sweet review. There’s no way this isn’t going to be my next architectural/landscape camera! 😃
The GFX system is just amazing!! And in a 50R having the option to control the camera the classic way really helps you focus on the moment… The camera just becomes an extension of your body.
Your last point is exactly right. There's something about seeing how good the camera got the colors of the thing you were shooting that's it's incredible. Maybe it's a bias or plecebo, but the depth of the color is so great.
Seeing that the photos look like all your other photos is gratifying, love your style and the fact that you’re a great photographer. Maybe one day I could afford something like this but for now I’m stuck with a Samsung NX300
@@jasonwhitehead4068 I looked up the xpan. Such a great idea to have that as an aspect ratio. I'm still waiting for my 50R to arrive. I ordered it from B&H Christmas morning. They said they don't know how long it will be until I get it. Trying to be patient...
I also can highly recommend GF 100-200 5.6. It sounds like a slow lens, and, to some extend it is. But specs do not tell full story -- it's truly SHARP, has very useful focal range which suits well for both portraits and landscape, has smooth and calm out of focus areas rendering and definitely enough blur when shoot at 150-200 range with gfx sensor. Optical stabilisation is really good! Really. 3-4 steps advantage. So I adore it, despite it is being a little bit large, I use it really often and happy with results. Ah, and autofocus speed is also good -- it has linear motor similar to 50 3.5. I have now 100-200, 50 and 63. So I am waiting for 30 3.5 to be released and that will complete mine gfx set. Chao and enjoy taking pictures, Mattias! Always happy to see your videos and hear your magnificent voice!
I shoot H5D, and Im really want a GFX. The only thing I can complain is the smaller sensor, but you know, I'm happy to take that trade off and get a much friendly system.
Why Fujifilm comes in TH-cam these days almost all the time, whenever I look up at TH-cam, are people trying to give higher opinion on the brand of this camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice presentation! I wish it could sync at 1/250 sec, seems to have a long blackout time and I can live with that, after all, it is an amazing large format camera
Hey I recently subscribed and thoroughly enjoying your videos.recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix dmc fz7 and I am a beginner. I would love your thoughts on the camera. I've looked through TH-cam for anyone reviewing as well as a little tutorial on how to use and whether or not it's a good camera... I've taken some pics but I am still a beginner and would love if you could do a review on one as it quite an old camera... Keep up the good work and much appreciated
I ordered a 50R on Christmas morning (Merry Christmas to me!) from B&H for $3500 (on sale)... I'm still waiting for it... B&H does not know when they will be in stock... Sigh...
I have one, with the 32-64 lens. It was working great. I put it away for a few months, and when I went back to use it, I kept getting the "TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN" error message. Nothing that I can figure out caused that error message. I didn't drop it. The battery was still fully charged. Just sitting in my camera back pack, ready to go. Not exposed to any extreme temperatures, or any vibrations. I suspect the lens, because when I take off the lens and turn on the naked body, I don't get that message. So, what gives? I did the upgrades, without interruptions, and still the problem exists. I see I'm not the only owner to have this problem, but I have yet to know what the fix is. Out of warranty, so faced with Fuji repair costs? Maybe this condition should be covered under a Class Action recall? I babied this camera, and would love to be able to use it, but I want it to be working reliably. Right now, it's a lead weight.
Lol some like it some don’t that’s why it’s great. It wasn’t for me. But man did I want to keep the pro 2 just with a tilt screen. When I shot with this I had my hopes high. But no doubt if I ever decided to pick up an ICL this would be towards the top of the list.
It's been long from your last video. I was wondering if you had forgotten to put a new one. Can you share 5 reasons for your "Dream camera", type 262? If it's still your dream camera or not. Waiting for new videos and great photos.
It depends. 50s has better ergonomics, but bigger in size. 50r is is much more compact but holds differently. Also 50r is newer and there are some hidden improvements, like quiter and more vibration free shutter. Taking into account price difference I think 50r looks more attractive. But better go and hold both. Try with small and big lense. Btw, your H lenses can be used with adapter.
How are the lenses image rendition? I know they are sharp, but do they also have some character or are they more clean looking? I.e. the Fujifilm XF 56mm has more character than the EF 50mm
Madam, The least price in Indian rupees, in any of the cameras( i want a beginner camera, so just give a rough amount and the way you will despatch, all the information , please).
Intressant kamera system med sin större sensor! Personligen inget för mig då jag är nöjd med apsc canon husen och dess objektiv utbud. Priset för gfx hus och objektiv har jag inte ett problem med och om jag idag fick 1 miljon kr i handen så skulle jag gärna Investera i ett hus och objektiv för mitt egna fotande! Ha en fin midsommar!
It depends on the buyer. There are sharper cameras, higher DR cameras, faster cameras, cameras with less crop factor etc, all for less than the $2500 a GFX50R goes for. But that goes for any camera.
Hello Mattias, I am curios what camera have you chosen finally to keep between Z7& 50r? I am also looking to buy one of these and need your advice! Thanks!
Another thing I wanted to write is 63 2.8 lens. That's a good lens. Sharp, nice rendering. But, it somehow flawed -- fuji designed it with retractable front element which moves out during focus and, if any, even smallish thing will be in front of it, you are risking breaking your focus motor. That happened to me, unfortunately. And, as far as I bought this lense used (but like new), I had to pay Fuji full repair cost price. Cost was just 122 Euro, so very reasonable, but, you need to know that and better, if u like to buy it, do yourself a favour and get a brand new with warranty. And u need to be accurate with it. So, in total, if u think about 50 or 63 for me this is no brainer -- go for 50.
League shutter will make lens process skyrock. I think fuji made wise decision and camera is very well balanced. HSS helps to replace leaf shutter to some extent.

I was pretty bummed that they left it out from the X-Pro3. Seems like a firmware fix would be easy.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter It's odd how they've left that feature out of some models, but included it with others.
i didn’t realise this was a thing but now i want it! it kind of ruins shooting with the lcd for me as you can miss moments when the screen goes black
i think you can turn it off in the menu

Well, time to sell a kidney.
Ha the eye sensor not deactivating when the screen is pulled out on my XT20 is pretty much my only problem with the camera. Maddening.
Surely they can just fix it with a firmware, drives me nuts!

I really love a 4:3 ratio sensor. Really wish there were more but I guess that makes it special.
A Camera to dream about, perhaps 1 day ☺️ lovely images Matthias ❤️
I love this camera, though it will have to drop another grand for my budget. My fav thing is the xpan crop, just love pictures in that format
That crop is one of my favorite features!!
What the heck is xpan crop?
@@whowho8470 that’s what happens when you message after 🍷 😖
@@whowho8470 just to clarify. One of the aspect ratio’s in the camera looks like a hasselblad xpan negative/ picture. I could have worded it better 👍

Been shooting w my 50r since November. Have barely touched my XT1, 2, or my XH1.
Almost time for another "if I could only have 1 camera" episodes.....!
The result would be the same, only difference is that it would be the GRiii.

Your dog is a 🌟
Do you think the GFX 50R with 50 f3.5 is a bit too heavy for a daily street photographer/travel camera?
I like your short videos, no bullshit, please make more
Nice presentation! I wish it could sync at 1/250 sec, seems to have a long blackout time and I can live with that, after all, it is an amazing large format camera
I have synced at 1/2000 with a cheap third party HSS. It gets the job done for me. Can't say I have experienced any blackouts worth noticing.
Now i wish i have my digital camera with me.
If Fujifilm made a GFX 100R with both viewfinder and rangefinder windows (think X-Pro 3), they'd sell like hotcakes!
IDK if it's the lens or if something is up with my 50S, but it just doesn't focus very well

You can use Hasselblad H-system lenses with an adapter, only manual focus but fully functioning leaf shutter and metering.
