    The doubling of the exposure time is the LONG EXPOSURE NOISE REDUCTION. It can be turned off in the menu.What happens is the camera make a second exposure with the sensor blocked from any light. It then looks at the exposure with no light and maps the noise that the long exposure causes. Then it subtracts that phantom noise from the first exposure to yield a cleaner image. I use the feature sometimes during Astro Photography where exposures can last for up to four minutes.

    the pano is mind-blowing, thanks for sharing. I'm debating a purchase between the GF 80mm or the 110mm. I watched your previous reviews and I saw that you had pointed out (and others as well) some color firming / chromatic aberration in the GF 80. I like doing portraits, (total hobbyist), street photography (especially nighttime), food photography, architectural photography and most of all, motion blur photography. Do you think think the GF 110 would be alright in the aforementioned?

    • @MikeBanom
      @MikeBanom  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching! I'm glad people still find my earlier videos helpful, because to be honest I have debated deleting them a few times!
      So I did choose the 110 over the 80. I think any lens can really do the job, but with the 80 you're going to get a bit better low light and a bit wider of a view. It's also super light. The GFX system is just so heavy and bulky. Back when I only had the GF50 and GF110… I would never want to bring my GFX on a quick trip. I hated the 50. And the 110 was just super heavy / bulky. The 80 is def a decent amount smaller. Its the same weight as teh GF55. Which i LOVE to travel around with. I'm going on a bit, not sure if this helps. But maybe the 80 would be better in your case. Unsure. THe fringing isnt that bad, its just annoying because you have to correct in post. I have a video coming out soon on all the lenses i bought on the GF system. Stay tuned!

  • @a3hindawi
    @a3hindawi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The camera does not need the same amount of time for processing the photo as it the time of the shutter is opened. This is an option in manny cameras for noice reduction. It takes a blank image with the shutter closed to compare and remove noice from the original image. If you disable this feature from the menu of the camera, you the camera will not take this additional time.

    You're new to this, so to help you sincerely....the camera taking ten seconds to process a ten second exposure is normal for most upper end aps-c, full frame, and medium format cameras for easily a decade...IF noise reduction is turned on....just turn off noise reduction and you'll see the image right after taking the exposure. Then just do noise reduction in photoshop or Lightroom or whatnot later. Hope that helps. :)

    • @MikeBanom
      @MikeBanom  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha yes that helped. As ive mentioned in other comments, my primary camera is an X-H1 and that camera does not do this so I was a bit surprised. After being informed about the noise reduction, I would never turn it off. The results were absolutely stunning!

    Thanks for a nice video and what seems to be a really honest review. I borrowed the gfx100s and the 110/2 just one day this summer and instantly fell in love. (If I buy that camera I'll probably get the 110 unless the 80 turns out to be a better choice, let's see if You compare them.)
    One can't unsee those fantastic files...
    You do have some killer shots in this video, I liked so many of them, but the paris wheel pics were truly cool. Maybe the vertical from under that bridge (Roosevelt Island?) was my favourite though. Best regards from northern Sweden.

    • @MikeBanom
      @MikeBanom  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Janne! Thanks for your kind words! The first time I tested out this camera (take a look at my first review) I actually had the 100s with the 110/2! Such an absolutely incredible lens. It will be the first lens I purchase when I go all in on the GFX system. I will briefly discuss the 110 vs 80 in my next video, but I will say now with 100% that the 110 is my choice. The 80 was incredible, but it is just so incredibly slow! The 110 is pretty slow as well, and like I mentioned in the video not expecting crazy speed for medium format - but such an amazing lens. Keep an eye out for the next video!

    • @MikeBanom
      @MikeBanom  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I actually have a video coming up featuring headshots and i feature b-roll of the eye focus and what not. It's not bad! It's not perfect, but if your priority is 100 megapixels the focus is pretty solid if you're doing something like headshots. While I was doing street photography, I didn't run into too many issues. It is a slower focusing lens. The 120mm is much faster IMO. Or even the 100-200. THat lens focuses much faster.
      I haven't done a ton of LR editing on my new macbook with GFX files as I havent had a GFX shoot in a while, but I have edited GFX files in Photoshop. Lightning fast!

      Wow. You know, I have absolutely no idea! I only had the camera for 3 weeks and already sent it back. But I have to say, the noise was very low on the long exposures. Do you know if that setting on the GFX100s: 1. makes a big difference with noise, and 2. to confirm, if you turn that setting, there is no processing time after the long exposure count down?

Most mirrorless cameras (to my knowledge) has a noise reduction feature which doubles the exposure time to process the noise in-camera. But if that setting is turned off there will be no noise reduction applied (in camera), therefore noise reduction will have to be done in post.

      Hey Raju, Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. In IQ, if you turn off Long Exposure NR - I believe that there will be no processing. The processing just simply does NR. I've done tests for like 15 seconds, and similar with the option turned OFF. And it doesn't do processing. Just did a quick 2 min exposure test - it had like 5 seconds afterwards where it must be saving the image. But no processing.
