Ich kann dich nicht verstehen, aber ich kann es nachfühlen, habe die 50r und bin sehr zufrieden, obwohl sie keinen IBIS und ein beweglicheres Display hat. Ich besitze sehr viele Adapter um möglichst viele ältere Objektive zu benutzen, das lässt den hohen Preis verkraften, habe drei sehr gute mamiya RB 67 Gläser plus Adapter (leider sehr groß schwer und unhandlich, nicht ohne Stativ).
I would like to see that video about the vintage lenses btw. Just to let you know, I didn’t see a link show up in the video. I’ll go look for it of course. :)
@@CryptoJones I just bought the 50S for about 1500 on FB market place. It is insane to have a medium format camera that is somewhat still capable for less than a brand new XT5. I love it so much!
I love my 50R. Coming from LF and the Hasselblad V-System, the old-school dials are very intuitive to use. It's a good thing for my bank balance that they haven't brought out a 100R with IBIS. One thing about the large sensor is that you can crop quite aggressively without losing detail.
Thanks for such a detailed review of GFX50R. I own this camera. I have paired it with GF50/3.5 lens. It works great for me. And for the past two years I have been carrying with me almost DAILY as I am working on one documentary project. But in general I really like the way the camera looks, feels, works and produces images. GFX50R is a great way to get into digital medium format. However I still think about buying one day an old used Hasselblad with a true medium format sensor size. I really like that CCD-sensor look.
Man - preaching to the choir! CCD sensors have been blowing up lately and for good reason. They just have such a unique look. I REALLY want a hassy or a Leica but just trying to save money and work with what I got for right now 😮💨
I like it over gfx50sii the minimalistic approach of latest Fujifilm gfx systems without intuitive way to set the exposure comp, aperture is a deal breaker but i see gfx 50r is what i like in traditional Fujifilm cameras
I’m finding your videos and gear / photography discussions a very good, interesting watch and listen. I think it’s because you’re not forced feeding views and opinions, oh and gear. I’m pretty much on side with all you say, I now focus on the glass for example, but that’s because i’ve worked my way up to being able to competently manage a higher end capable camera, well it was when I bought it by comparison, which has what I believe is a pretty good sensor that gives the glass every chance to shine. I do love that camera’s contrast detect AF sensor for stills btw, and some video. However, like you I also shoot video on an S5ii, i’m not shooting sport though!! wish you all the best with your channel. 👏
I really appreciate that! And yeah I feel like there is enough TH-cam content out there on gear. I just want this channel to be focused on making photos regardless of what camera equipment you prefer!
I love my 50r!! One of my favorite things with this camera is the adapting older 35mm film lenses. The two i really like adapting is the Canon 28 f3.5 & Minolta 45 f2. i honestly prefer adapting and using other lenses over the native fuji offerings. theyre solid lenses but ive never seen anything from their line up that made me want to spend that kind of money.
I really wish they made a true optical rangefinder with medium format and a fixed lens. Even just a medium format q2 with a slightly tighter lens would be good enough. It would be the perfect tool for an artist. I’ve been an art photographer for 15 years and there has always been hype around leicas and mamiya 7s for good reason to be honest. It’s largely the lenses, the weight and the viewfinder experience. Over the years, that’s what I’m finding it all comes down to. And maybe also the aspect ratio. I need the resolution for prints but It might be a good time to experiment with m 4/3 if you really don’t need that resolution.
I completely agree. And just your own comfort with the system. But weight/size and lenses are the biggest factors when picking a camera for me. I get what you’re saying about Leica. I feel like in so many ways it’s the perfect camera - minus price
very true. I got gfx50sII last year as my "fun" camera and have been going back and forth on keeping it vs selling it as it feels slow and clunky compared to my canon mirrorless. but there's something about the experience everytime I take it out and shoot with it. so I'm keeping it for now :-)
It’s such a blessing and a curse to have a camera like that. Like you want to try something new but it’s impossible to give up this camera that brings you so much joy!
Looking forward to it. Im on the fence, 50r with 50mm or X100VI. Ive got bigger hands and enjoy the xpan option for the 50r. Do i need ibis? Heard the 50r has lag/blackout? Might not be that bad,@@george_edward_
I mean this as an honest question, how does Fuji affect the colors in RAW files? I don’t know and I’m always confused when people who shoot RAW say they like Fuji’s color science. This is how I’ve learned that a camera takes photos when using RAW: light hits sensor, sensor creates analog signals, analog signals get converted to digital signals/data, the data is stored as a RAW file. Then when you import the RAW files into Lightroom, Lightroom will represent the data in the RAW file with a very flat look and will be using one of the Adobe profiles (probably standard? I’ve changed this on mine so I don’t remember which is the default one). How does Fuji affect the colors in this process? Does it happen when the analog signals get converted to digital?
It can be about either the sensor's sensitivity to specific portions of the visible spectrum or about the algorithms used to create color from the monochromatic luminance information collected by the sensor. But it is almost always about how both are combined to produce a viewable image. You can take the same raw image data from the same camera and run it through two different processing pipelines and get two different results. Similarly, you can take the raw data from two different sensors imaging the same scene with the same lens and run each through the same processing pipeline and get two different results.
To be sure, you’re not stuck with just the Adobe profiles. The RAF files from the GFX will show “built in” profiles in Lightroom and you can choose to apply any of the film sims to it that you would otherwise do in camera if you were shooting jpg.
You will see at most the difference from a non Fuji in the sensor difference. Most cameras on the market use a Bayer array whereas Fuji makes their own X-Trans Sensor which has a high ratio of green sub-pixels compared to a bayer sensor, but as to what exact effect that has to the “look” to the raw files… probably nothing tbh. But I’m not a Fuji owner so I can’t tell ya for sure.
Something to note as well, the GFX lineup doesn't use X-trans if I remember correctly. The X-Trans is used for the crop sensor lineup from Fuji but they've stated how it isn't necessary for the larger GFX sensor@@EricStarick
Thanks man, appreciate the video, but had to chip in... you start by saying you don't change any of the manual dials but then contradict yourself with the Lumix S5 & it's minutiae?! Tbf, I reckon any decent camera in the last 10 years can be setup to use the exposure triangle intuitively with a manual lens... I currently shoot with a Sony A7 III & Olympus EM-5 II (CY Zeiss/Leica-R/Canon FD) for street & environmental photos. Considering Fuji to investigate the film emulations but more so medium format for the reasons you mentioned. Is AI a threat to that medium format look using phones, M43 or APS-C... ?
Something about the lumix for photos and videos isn’t intuitive to me. You have to set up custom modes which works great once setup but otherwise you have to mess around the menus for much longer than I would prefer. Fuji to me just feels more intuitive all around. And as far as AI is concerned. I don’t know if threaten is the word I would use but it will definitely change the space for sure
@@george_edward_ Yep, that's why I really want to get my hands on a Fuji. Glad to hear your perspective on AI as not a threat but a change of space, a more balanced approach to AI will serve us in a more proactive way than fear.
I’ve been debating between the 50 S and the 100 S2, have you ever tested the difference in dynamic range between the two of these? The 100 S puts out 16 bit versus the 14 bit of the 50 s
The 100 does have more dynamic range by half a stop ish. Also has phase detect autofocus on chip. The older 50mp chip that the gfx 50's, Pentax 645z, and hasselblad 50 only has contrast based AF.
Nice video dude... I ummed and ahhed on the 50R and ended up buying the 100s. I got a good 2nd hand deal. The auto focus is superior, and the images are extreme as you can crop if required for days! But I did expect that you could reduce the resolution down so you didn't always have to shoot at 100mb. Oh no... every shot is massive. Great for work, but a pain in the arse sometimes when using it for recreational snaps. I will get a 50R one day as it's a visually it's a masterpiece, which big brother isn't. I've a mixture of GF lens which are all superb. But I have got some 67 Pentax glass which so smooth. Nice work mate.... keep it up
Thank you! And yeah they’re all awesome cameras so it’s hard to go wrong. Hopefully eventually they’ll do another rangefinder body camera because I love this thing so much. Only camera I want more than it is a Leica but idk if I’ll ever be able to get one
Without upping the sensor size the doubling of pixels means less room for dynamic range and an increase in noise at any given ISO because eit the smaller pixels. I've seen recounts of this from others that had the 50, then went to the 100, then back to the 50 because the image quality was "better". I find that believable, on paper it makes sense and whenever you dealmwotj massively crowded pixels, at any sensor size, you've experienced this. What good is cropping if the more you're dropping the more you're seeing the effects of an overcrowded sensor? Depending on the work, I'm sure there's a place the 100 (I or II) has advantages. It isn't in the studio and it isn't in the street, but I'm sure it's somewhere.
Hey, nice video George! Just bought this camera, got the body but I'm still waiting for the lens to arrive. One question, I've read that if you de activate the Color Chrome Effect it works faster, I tried it and it seems to be right. Apparently only uses this correction to Jpeg files. Have you done any testing with this? Thank you, thumps up!
No I haven’t but that’s super interesting! I dont take jpegs on the 50r so I imagine I am bypassing that issue but that’s a good trick if speed really becomes an issue for people
I’ve never shot medium format before but I keep seeing medium format cameras on sale. Do I need another camera? No… but you may be the straw that broke me. You’ve got me very very curious! Great video!
Thank you! And I mean once you have one good camera do you ever really neeeed another? Probably not but always worth trying to find what suits you and your photographic style! I can’t recommend it enough. If you have any questions lmk
My 50r sensor was damaged or something and I have a line of dead pixels. I just fix in Lightroom. To expensive to fix and it still works good enough for me. Extra step
Excellent review. This size and shape reminds me of the black Leica M5 35mm I once owned. I'd been looking at the Fujifilm X100 series but tired of the hunt and gave up (thanks, TikTok). This looks to be a super-charged arse-kicker version of that anyway, so definitely considering it.
I can pick up the GFX 50r + Fujifilm GF 63mm f/2,8 R WR for $1500. Good deal? Currently using the Lumix S5 but would love to try out (semi) medium format.
I think that is a fantastic deal. $1500 for a powerhouse combination. I use the lumix s5ii for all of my video work but for my photos the 50r is my perfect camera. If you have the money to spend I would totally give that combination a try!
Every camera in the world has settings to organise but you do it once, for the most part, and then just shoot. And all cameras have crappy menus except Blackmagic. As you say, photography is not about numbers. And I am not printing giant photos for galleries. So a mega number of megapixels is not compelling. Like most photographers I prefer aperture-priority, since this is the most natural way to work with a lens that has an aperture dial. The presence of a dial for shutter speed is useless. Removing it would be one less thing to think about (following your own logic) so long as dials can be freely assigned. So I chose Lumix over Fuji. Can still adapt any lens I want. Have IBIS which is insanely freeing. And oh yeah, I get USB charging. :-) I am still interested in GFX but wonder why only the SLR style bodies are getting updated?
I just started experimenting with adapted lenses on the lumix and so far I love it! Excited to make a video about it. Also I couldn’t agree more. The 50r has such a strong supportive following that I know a newer model would do well
@@george_edward_true, and you even do not need the summicron, keep the ultron or nokton and pair it with a 28mm more flexible than a 50. there’s a reason why the Q series holds a 28 and not a 50 or a 35 but less is more you know…
I’ve used this camera for countless photos. In the future I’ll be sure to put more examples in the camera review video. In the meantime check out my other videos with hands on usage if you need more clarity
lol. Pretty sure it doesnt get any easier than panasonic's layout on the S5. Shots fired ;) Coming from someone who doesnt love the camera, but its SO easy to shoot with
😭😭😂 fair enough. I deserve it. I just always mess up when switching from photo to video mode cause I never remember to switch from log to standard. And I know you can create custom modes but I somehow mess that up too 🤦♂️
I really wish Fujifilm released a version 2 of the 50R. But I think I’m never going to sell this camera though.
You and me both man. I’ve considered selling this camera a few times and truthfully I don’t think I can. I just love it too much
@gothamindembaum Phase detect autofocus would be a huge bonus, and maybe the most important one : USB-C charging
Would love usb c charging

The Fuji GFX 50R is destined to become a cult classic.
It’s truly its fate
I bought the GFX 50s over the 50r because of the better ergonomics and the ability to add a battery grip. I paid $1750 USD in Feb/2024.

Why does no one when reviewing the 50R say anything about manual focusing?
Definitely a miss on my part. Honestly - focus peaking on the gfx is great and it's auto focus is reliable, just slow.
