Thank you so much. Glad I found your video having watching a lot of GFX videos. I am an enthusiast, so my budget is limited. The 50S is £1630 and 50S ii is £600 more… I feel that a 50S will be more than enough for me, I may reach out to 50R at £2070 for the small weight gain as it will mainly be for travel photography (architecture, “street” maybe). Wonder if you entertained the idea of the 50S ii…

Very good shots! And just acquired one of these, and immediately after fell in love with the simplicity of the whole process. I have tried out many mirrorless cameras, most recently the R6II and I can't help but admire the photo experience when I use a 5D classic.

Hi, great video! And great results. Wondering from your experience what Canon Picture Styles gives best result for producing JPGs which is closest to the final result you get after RAW processing. E.g. in this task - golden hour portraits, what PS you would use? Standard / Portrait / Natural / Faithful? If just a light color grade needed perhaps those color shifts for some channels (orange/yellow/green) can be done in Picture Style Editor and upload custom one into User1,2,3 slots?

A bit of a narrow take on the "third party & vintage lenses" usage - which is one of the more popular motivations people buy these cameras. Surely you can see how people - for fun AND for professional assignments - prefer a more vintage and characterful rendering instead of a clinical sharp one? Focussing manually is hardly "tinkering or mocking about". If you only do clear-cut studio photos, that's not your thing, obviously. Remember, in the film days, nearly all medium format lenses were manual focus, especially on the larger formats starting from 6x6 and 6x7. They were hardly "mocking about" in peak film era, surely? Today, people just want to use the same tools - but on digital. I mean, for my work this GFX system is unusable. I'm not gonna tell you you're just tinkering with a camera, now am I? Different tools, different jobs.

It’s really not a narrow take: this video is, in part, about the camera’s use in pro photography. People are free to use whatever lenses they like, of course, but it wouldn’t really fly with what I do, and I suspect that would be the case with many others.
@caleidoo

@@DavidShoukry It doesn't matter what the ratio of people only using native glass vs vintage glass is, when people get hired as photographers or sell their images, they are pro photographers. Given that the 50R is way more popular than the 50s - and ironically, more expensive than the 50S now used - and almost every single person owning a 50R is adapting old lenses to it, you would be surprised by how many people get paid while using non native lenses.

Going against the comments grain here because I could pick up a repeated undercurrent of dismissal and disdain with what you class as "amateur/hobbyist"... feeding an incorrect narrative relating to skill simply because you choose to photograph as a source of income for your family. Lets be clear - this camera more than any other is not something an "amateur" would invest in as an outright purchase. If someone is buying into this system for non-paid purposes, then they already have a secure, disposable income and this is either a luxury item or a tool to further their art. They would also have to consider themselves quite skilled photographers to reap the benefits of a relatively expensive MF system. This brings me to depth of field: most small event photographers choose safe F10 type depth because nothing can go wrong with client interpretation for the paid work - the camera and lens are primarily delivering the output (and this one delivers in spades). Nothing wrong with that until it is pitted against Shallow depth of field as just being cliché. Photography is a much loved art form for many... and this camera system offers deep possibilities with art. Apologies, but I'm not going to let fellow photographers get trashed for their decisions and preferences.

Nobody is trashing anybody. Thinking there’s no difference between the needs of pro and amateur photographers is shortsighted and unrealistic. And if you think there’s any disdain/dismissal from me towards anybody, amateur or otherwise, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. Have a great day!

I've been shooting Canon since I went digital years ago. My R5 is far and away the best overall camera I've ever owned. And since I'm adapting EF glass to it I'm used to using an adaptor. I've wanted the GFX since it was announced. Like you said the prices have been dropping. I finally picked up a 50s two weeks ago for less than the new fuji x100vi. I do a little editorial/portrait and a fair amount of architecture so the slower pace is not an issue for me. I just completed my second shoot with the camera and could not be happier. Especially helpful for architecture was adding the tilt adaptor to the viewfinder. I was glad to year your comment about this body vs the 100mb body which confirms my investment in this one. Solid review David and confirms all my initial thoughts.

Its been a while since there were comments on this beautiful video, but I was wondering how big you can blow up the photos from the Canon 5d classic? My photog "mentor" and friend is saying you need at least 26 mp to make big wall portraits 40x60 inches? My friend learned during film days, so has been thru all the three recent phases of photography - film, digital, and mirrorless. So I hate to doubt her, but is this true? It seems like Canon would not have produced a.full frame camera that you could not enlarge to billboard size, if needed, by their pro photographer customers. Of course, on an actual billboard, it would be okay to lose details. But wld a 5d classic make images you cld blow up to say 40"x60" and not lose fine details or pixellate?
@DavidShoukry
@DavidShoukry 10 ай бұрын
Hiya, I think A3 is probably about the biggest size for prints (without upscaling or similar). When this camera came out (2005) it was probably the most accessible digital camera without spending serious money. I think at that time the billboard stuff would have been Hasselblad MF etc.

thanks for that, a good review, one note, there is ONE case for adapted lenses, that of a sinar, or other LF monorail camera, giving the chance of using Shnieder or Roddenstock lenses, and if these are good enough for 4x5/5x7 or 8x10 film, it should be good enough for this sensor, shouldn't it be?

Hi David, came to your channel by chance and have noticed you haven't uploaded any videos for over a year. I'd be interested to learn your thoughts about the new GFX 100 II. Fujifilm has brought medium format very close to what full frame can offer in terms of usability, AF speed and accuracy, etc. To the point that in can practically and realistically be used for wedding, street photography, and such genres that require a bit more speed and reaction. I'm not promoting it by the way! I'd be curious to find out if you've used it and your thought on it. On a side note, amazing pictures! Love your style mate. Cheers, Ray.

I love the style of these portraits. To me they seem reminiscient of late 19th/early 20th century portraits and some of the colours have that hand touched look which started to appear at that time. Does the 50S add to this effect over the Canon?

Ah that’s so kind of you to say, thank you. The colours from the 50S are hugely superior to Canon, in my opinion, and I think that’s the real benefit of these cameras. I’m not sure about the hand-retouching thing as I’m certainly no expert!
