Thanks for the comparison, been a 50R user for about two years now and I'm always tempted by the 100S especially now as used prices are dropping. I came from the A7rii to the 50R because it made me feel too detached from the process and because I adored the design of the 50R. So I've always been hesitant about moving to the 100S in case it would be just going back to that experience from the sony, or really just most modern digital cameras to be fair. Good to hear someone with a similar viewpoint with experience of both :)

Thanks for the comparison. I have the 12L and like it but I am looking at the 3.5 to replace the PD 3L (hate it) for when I want something small and light. This video help me a lot in making a decision.

Let's see that pants pocket it fits in.

nice to meet you, The, Thnk you- useful trip- )

A good photo is taken by the photographer... and not the camera... the X-T1 is more than enough. A good meal is made by the cook and not the pan! But how we allow ourselves to be manipulated by the industry! I will never sell my two X-T1's! Greetings from a Swiss living in the Caribbean❤

Wish I could go with you guys!!!!!!

I thought i was watching Fujifilm commercial.

360p in 2023? :o

That 11” MBA served you well, it’s amazing it’s still usable to this day

Cheers mate enjoy your machine!

Sorry, a large part of your video, the tripod was out of view, which I didn't find very useful.

I agree with you about both the X-T1 and 50R. I still own my X-T1 and it's my favorite camera ever, it's just a very special thing to me. I also have the 50S (and a 50Sii currently) and I'm deciding whether or not I'll sell my 50S and keep the new 50Sii or sell the 50Sii and keep the original. In almost every technical metric, the mark 2 is the superior camera, but that doesn't mean that much to me as they're both extremely capable bodies. The 5 mark 1 feels better to use in (my) hand and that shutter?!?!? I could probably write it a love letter lol, what am amazing shutter sound and feeling. I thought about the 100S, but I literally ONLY want it for the phase detect AF. I have zero need or desire for 100mp, 50mp is already such a silly high amount for me, adding double just seems so useless. I have downloaded various raw files from both the 50 and 100mp sensors and seem to prefer the rendering of the 50mp sensor anyway. The 100 is the superior unit on a purely technical level though. We don't always have to choose that though. I'm curious to see what I end up doing and which body gets sold. Shame they don't offer the 50mp sensor with PDAF, that would be amazing.

Pretty good camera !! Would you recommend it today in 2023. How about the lack of IBIS is it really a turnoff

Hey, I think you'd better ramp up and get the camera out and shoot some stuff down in the Florida Keys like never before. After all, they are good at getting Hurricanes, Storms, Sheets of Rain Pouring from the Sky. U could retest your Fuji gear to see if it can stand a little H2O. Sounds like Fuji's rep has been tarnished from the story I heard before from u. By the way, did u ever get that salt water gear fixed gratis of Fuji or did they moan & groan and what to charge u a fortune for their bad engineering? 😎😎

Hey Lazy Photographer! How did you keep your drone in sync with your vehicle as you traveled north? How many miles was this shoot? Amazing! By the way, I worked as an apprentice pipeline welder-welder helper on the construction of that pipeline, the Alyeska Trans Alaska Pipeline. It goes from Prudhoe Bay (top of Alaska) to Valdez (ice free port) almost 800 miles long. As an Alaskan, I was one of the few who worked in the Pipeliners Local 798 as an apprentice pipeline welder. Prior to that, I had gone to film school at California Institute of the Arts in the seventies. 😎😎

Thanks for this video.

I'm torn between the 50R and 50S ii and you just made the best argument for the 50R that I've seen anywhere online.

Iconic camera it produces amazing images even to this day.

I just bought this lens also, but I paid $2499 retail for it from my local photo store. $1800 with the filter is a steal for this new lens. I wished I would've found a used one, but since it is still a new lens, I thought it would be almost impossible to find this lens in the used department for a while, so I pressed the trigger. Congratulations for your new acquired lens and from your video it looks good. Now I have to get a filter for mine which is another $100, at least for a B+W.

Really impressive!

I would not change my GFX 100s for no camera in the world. the files are unmatched , only the latest Hasselblad X2D can be compared.

I used to own these lenses back in the mid 70s when I was in the service for my SRT-101 and SRT102. Bought the cameras for $97 at that time. I wished I kept these lenses.

Can you do a video with your photography ?

I like the look of the straps. The narrow width is not good for weight! My opinion. no imges to really compare!

thanks for the effort and the sharing. i still use my X-T1 nearly every day! thumbs up.

More viewers need the real testing in the feld..

Couldn’t agree more about the 50R. Gives me all the detail I need, and seems a natural “big brother” to my X-pro2. Interesting that, here in the UK, they don’t often come up for sale. When they do they fetch more that the 50S, which was more expensive than the 50R when new. I think folk are hanging onto them.

Nice expose. The Fujifilm 32-64 is in my brutally sharp category.

For all that have asked here is the link for the L-bracket/grip I use: www.ebay.com/itm/184208233043?hash=item2ae3aa9253:g:8m4AAOSwh8pdnb3D&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8KKE0Xa7v6QZintU6TBpLskJBov3vVa8suxjiQnNz8q0si4HDUzjQ%2FIubN96P5r8TKsGQJoQwXEV%2BHd3COSHUEkVZKmLX9%2BgprN%2BJaf7xU%2BMQk7QEcx%2B0OJa6%2BmjrCctg2VO%2Bw82WXqz%2BSu4RlUe4IgRBGoye0wXvTjKXqxxjBQlbQgHZ0y6B1KlgGsH%2Bi7y%2Bnd7qOZgOIM25Eo6nxZR7dRfgq%2FPrTdhfub%2BazoX8UwRmnch0qLQAerMq%2BvyzCv2ZRUX2oaQQaHhLACxfNT2r9myrIy%2F2Xbu1aj%2BnmTC8VOk0uLF3uyKppbd3QlxjMkv3Q%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5jO8dbtYQ

I've just returned the AP-20 which was super solid but had a centre column. I'm thinking of going for this instead. Nice review 👌

Thank you for your video! I am tormented. I own a GFX50s, loaded with vertical grip and swivel viewfinder adapter and used it for a couple years for work. Is like new, not one blemish on it as I baby my cameras and want them like new always. When the GFX100 came out I jumped on it immediately and never used my GFX50s again. I have been thinking for the longest time to trade my GFX50s that I never use for a GFX50R as a daily shooter/street photography machine. The reality is that the GFX100 amazing as it is, is NOT a daily carry around camera, and so isn't either the GFX50s even without the vertical grip. Yes sure I "could" take out the detachable viewfinder and make it a smaller package but I cant shoot without a viewfinder.. I cant understand people doing photography with just the back screen LCD as 99% of people now-a-days do, I just cant do it. But given the age of these cameras, is it a good idea? I know I will get the same quality as the GFX50s, which is great, but then again this is an almost 10 year old sensor and a 5 year old camera and I just dont know if this makes any sense or, if in fact makes ALL the sense. Ive played around with just about ALL of Fujifilm's X cameras but, the APS-C thing is not for me.. I know some people will throw rocks at me for saying this but, Im sorry the APS-C quality is just not there no matter how you look at it, SPECIALLY compared to MF. Even the new X-H2S and TX-5 with the new 40MP sensors, sorry, the IQ cant be compared in any way with what the GFX cameras bring to the table and my eyes just cant accept anything inferior at this point. And as far as FF goes, yes there are AMAZING cameras out there that out solve the 50MP sensor on the GFXs like the Sony a7RV I played with a few days ago.. spectacular camera and files but.. its a computer! Its not a camera.. I have ZERO inspiration to go out and take photos with it, is that simple. So.. will I be happy with GFX50R? I know its a classic already and sensor age and resolution aside (both doesn't matter actually) the camera will surely take amazing photos for decades to come plus Fujifilm WILL NOT replace it or make another GFX rangefinder again! Since Fujifilm's new CEO stepped-in a couple years ago, everything changed and this is NOT the same company we used to love for their uniqueness, regular firmware updates and photographers' niche strategy. Its all over. So I feel with each passing day that the GFX50R is a camera that makes potentially more and more sense and will something of cult soon enough. Should I jump on it? Thanks again for the video and enthusiasm.. we badly need some honest and true enthusiasm in a word that has become so f...d-up these days all across the board :)

I just came across your channel and watched some of the videos, in one of them you mentioned not getting into the GFX system and rather use the money for vacations (which makes sense), what made you change your mind?

I dropped mine and sent it to Fuji for repair. The estimate was a little high but I loved the camera. In about a week they sent me a brand new one for the price of the repair. Great service!

I'm 63 and a newbie into the world of photography, and I just purchased an X-T1 on Ebay. My budget is limited and for me I think this camera is the best bang for the buck. Can't wait to get into my hands and learning how to use it! There's something about the analog, and manual knobs on top that attracted me to it. What are the other cameras that you use? You didn't say what brand or model? They look great! Quite a collection!

Solid video, i just picked up a Used Fuji XT3 and makes me want to sell my Sony a6400 and get a Fuji XS10.

I had Olympus OM2 & OM4 in the early 80’s, then canon eos film bodies, then eos digitals, then sony A7R3, then about 3 years ago added a 50r, an subsequently an A7S3 and a Leica M10D. I still have my old cameras. I have to concur that the 50r is something rather special. I would have a tough job deciding between the Sony’s and the 50r though, because, while I think the 50r is more enjoyable, and has given me my best images to date, I think the Sony’s are better ‘all rounders’. It would be a really tough decision for me to make. The AF on the 50r let’s it down as an all rounder, but I almost exclusively use the 50r on a tripod and in manual focus, so the AF does not worry me most of the time. If I’m going to shoot a subject where AF, IBIS or long lenses would be beneficial, then I grab the Sony. For nigh on everything else, I grab the 50r.

I pray we get a stacked GFX 50MP sensor for next gen GFX bodies.

How do you process in CaptureOne and catalog in LR? I would like to do that as well. Thanks for the videos.

What’s the grip?

Nice to see that some others are still using X-T1. I haven't seen one quite as battered looking as yours. I have one which I still use in spite of also having an X-T2 and a X-H1. I am a careful amateur, so mine does not look so worn as yours. Just a small point of detail: I think I heard you say that you bought yours in 2012. The X-T1 was officially released on 27 January 2014.

My x-t1 is my all time fav, especially when coupled with the 27mm f2.8. Great video mate!

While the 50S II is my first investment into the GFX system, nothing compares to the aesthetics of the 50R. I hope Fuji isn't done with the rangefinder design for GFX.

I traded in a Horseman LF film camera and several lenses for the Fuji GFX50r and the 32-64 lens. Then I added the 100-200 OIS. Very happy with the change.

I have two of them in immaculate condition I traded a Nikon D750 in for. Not one complaint. Well…maybe autofocus not the greatest, but it’s a nitpick really. Beautiful images, plenty of resolution at 16MP and my f2 lenses are spectacular for my purposes. I haven’t yet seen a reason to upgrade to the newer bodies aside from image stabilization. The X-T1 offers images that just have something special. I can’t put a finger on it, but I see a difference with my eyes as compared to Nikon full frame images from the D750.

Thanks I just took an xt5

The X-E4 with the new 27 mm f2.8 is a very nice walk around combo… they can be purchased as a bundle…

Saw your 50r video.. was wondering if you could share your recipes that you have on there!

Can't hear you. Please sort your audio out.
