I love the 63mm so sharp and great with my GFX 50S.

[@djsuth7727]

I like the GF 63mm f2.8 a lot more than I thought I would … just wish it was a bit snappier with autofocus. Could have done with some linear motors like the 32-64mm zoom. For primes I prefer using the 45mm f2.8 and the 110mm f2.

[@DamianBrown]

Ye I think they are a step up, at least for me!

[@paulvenn7598]

If you're looking for something to test, try out the wireless tethering. No matter what I do for me it "locks up" after 6 serially taken images. Thus click, click, click, click, click, click. To unlock, remove battery!

Awesome video!

[@DamianBrown]

Thanks man!!!!!

[@JoshuaKoerner]

Dude! Stoked that you got to review this The amount of bokeh was not quite as much as I was expecting, tbh. '
It felt like this lens and the 32-64(?) f/4 performed similarly in terms of sharpness and AF performance from your reviews.
I guess the question re the two lenses is this-do you ever feel like you need the extra stop of light to help control ISO a little better?
It feels like the GFX system is something I desperately want to get into because in my peasanty view, the bigger the sensor, the better the image (between color depth, accuracy, bokeh etc), and while I know that this is objectively false, it's fun to allow myself to think. I guess what I'm really asking by that statement (opaque, I know!) is this-how much of a specialty system is the GFX in your opinion? Would F/4 be fast enough, or even f/2.8? The 110 f/2 has always looked like the lens that I would most want to get into because of its speed and focal length (considering inverse crop as well).

[@DamianBrown]

I don't think you're far off, no. As for it being a speciality system, maybe as we're so spoilt for tech these days... it's a slightly slower and heavier style of shooting but with massively impressive results. I think i'd lean towards the f2 as well, I haven't had chance to really try it that much yet though! Next up is the 120, again f4 but still very capable.

[@MarcS4R]

my fave is the 110. looking forward to try the 45

[@DamianBrown]

Yes indeed!!

[@SoundsandImages]

Really liking this series of lens videos for the GFX, the nifty 50 is certainly a lighter alternative to the 32-64mm when travelling etc, tried it briefly myself but not keen on the focus shuffling thing it does.

[@DamianBrown]

Ye, i wanna go in depth with a few more before declaring a favourite

[@etismyname]

jpeg is cooked while raw is not. if you want to know the base performance, raw is the way to go

[@DamianBrown]

The problem is most quick tests that shoot raw process them to death. A proper pixel peeping, scientific performance test however would be best from raw but minus the usual edits.

[@inevitablecraftslab]

63mm for a 50mm.
Thats how medium format that system is.
