You do know the GRiii has crop mode, right? You still have PLENTYYYY of MPs to work with, especially if it's just for causal shooting and sharing online. I have the crop mode shortcut saved on my left D-pad and I easily toggle to 35 or 47mm and the resolution is still :chef's kiss:

as a former fuji x100v owner i have to say - the gr3x is exactly my thing - i just had it with me on a city trip with my family and it is so small and inconspicuous that i came back with many more exciting pictures than i ever took with the x100v. funnily enough, even your actual weaknesses are sometimes the strengths - snapfocus at infinity is better in many shots than any aufofocus - the ricoh is very well thought out and has a great lens and much more reserves in the lights than a fuji - which can be very pleasant, especially when shooting at night.

From what I hear Fringer Pro is the best. Expensive but if you plan to adapt a lot of EF glass it sounds like it’s worth it.

Really enjoyed the video. As someone who came over to Sony (A7IV) a couple of years ago from Canon EF (6D) I’ve been starting to itch to try the GFX 50R, partly as a vehicle for my vintage Minolta Rokkors (such as the 55mm 1.7 and the 135 2.8) and other vintage glass, and for the aspect ratio and crop options. I like the idea of shooting a 55mm or 50mm lens and getting a 40mm - 45mm (35mm equivalent) field of view (I’m currently in love with the 40mm field of view on 35mm format). I also like the left-hand rangefinder style of viewfinder on the GFX. The idea of using Canon EF lenses adds another element of appeal. Which brand of EF to GFX adapter do you use? I’ve heard good things about the Fringer for the Fujifilm X-series, but hadn’t yet investigated the EF to GFX adapters.
@Lonnie.GАй бұрын
Fringer is regarded as the best. I have the Andoer because it was the cheapest I could find just to get my feet wet. It’s ok overall - great for the price but if you can afford the Fringer just buy it the first time and skip everything else.

It’s taller than both the x100 body and an a7c. It’s not as thick as an a7c but I don’t know if the differences either way with the camera body are meaningful. Attaching a lens to the xt-20 makes bigger than an x100 in every dimension. At the end of the day they are all small enough to not be a problem unless you need one to fit in a small jacket pocket (x100 at most, but Ricoh GR even better). Use whatever suits you the best

Yo, I love your content, but can we please retire the term "shot" when we talk about photography. Cameras aren't guns, we make photographs with them.
@Lonnie.G2 ай бұрын
Lol no. Its literally in Mariam Webster dictionary bro. A single word can have more than one meaning, it’ll be ok. “a : a single photographic exposure especially : SNAPSHOT b : a single sequence of a motion picture or a television program shot by one camera without interruption”
@bendude2 ай бұрын
@@Lonnie.G Just because it is in the dictionary doesn't necessarily mean we should continue using it. The International Center of Photography in New York requires their writers to not use "shoot" or "capture" in their texts because they evoke violence and alienate a lot of people. Language evolves, there were many words that were seen as okay and part of common parlance 50 years ago that we would never use today.

I’ve paid you more of mine than I wanted to….and I don’t mean that in mean or angry way - I barely have time to make videos, so forgive me if I’m not so open to the nitpicking on something that I tried my best on given the time I have. I’m nobody in the photography space so this is likely not the best place to start your crusade against established definitions of the word “shot” - it will make absolutely no difference at all if you were somehow able to convince me. As such, I’d rather just be left alone honestly. It’s moments like these that I regret even sharing my thoughts in a public space. I appreciate your initial complement, but know that it’s highly likely that one day, probably soon, this whole channel and all the content will disappear because I’m honestly just exhausted of all the nitpicking like this. As you can probably tell, this isn’t solely you and your “harmless criticism”. It’s death by 1000 papercuts.

@Lonnie.G2 ай бұрын
It is slow. I can’t answer your second question. I can adjust to just about any autofocus speed - which is what people have been doing for years with older cameras with and without autofocus even. It does change the way you shoot if you primarily rely on or are used to fast AF. Yes definitely has a fairly long blackout. It think the older processor requires a good amount of time to process and write the image and the shutter is large and not really built for speed. Despite this, it’s still a great camera but I wouldn’t want you to be misled into thinking it’s something it isn’t .

Dog slow. It’s perfect for still life/posed models. *Forget about moving subjects* - out of the question. Night time, long exposure, landscape photography on a tripod at f/8? Awesome.

George, this is by far one of the best reviews and overviews I have watched here or on any platform. You covered everything in an extremely professional and thorough way. Your delivery was outstanding. Your creativity was always incredible. Thank you for taking the time to do this, and for putting so much into the video, filming, production, and content. I recently purchased the 5D Mark 1 and Mark 2. I own several much newer cameras. I bought but lost the Sony A7 III, and using it made me not enjoy the newer features from more advanced cameras. I completely understand need for updated features. I use photography as a break away from running a national company, that works with higher risks youth, who live in poverty and deserve the best from myself and my team. I say that because my appreciation for photography is because it allows me to escape from deep thinking and always paying attention to the entire world. I only see the world through the view of my lens while my camera is in my hand. The simplicity of the 5D Mark 1 allows me to decompress and step back from the world. I also bought a few Leica cameras, for the same reason of why I appreciate the 5D. The difference between the Leica camera bodies I own and my 5D is the size and weight. My Leica cameras are all compact with attached lenses. These are my travel cameras. They are very portable. They do not give the level of excellence the 5D offers, but they do transform a trip to a new location in my own city or while traveling into a complete getaway.

I like the design of Fuji x100, looks very stylish, unfortunately I have yet to find a single photo taken by it that I also enjoy. Yeah, they all look kinda ok, but I have this feeling that even canon powershot would achieve this quality under right conditions. Photos do not look professional level and I don't believe this - it's a man behind the camera that matters BS. You clearly are a professional, but even in your hands x100 looks like something shot on a point and shoot(which it is by the way), while A7c definitely has this high quality look. There are some shots when they look pretty close, but those shots are mostly when both of them look "meh". Then A7c excels, but Fuji keeps being meh. Just my opinion.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes theoretically if you sync the shutter speed to the frequency of the lights it would help mitigate. I find it sometimes hard to match exactly though. If I remember correctly The a1 has a feature to let you customize the exact shutter speed to help with this - for example shoot at 1/48 which other cameras typically can’t do

hi, i'm in the middle of changing system currently. EIther Fuji GFX 50r or leica, is my only 2 choices. My question is, how hard is it to manual focus with it? especially with that mitakon. I dont do landscape, but I'd love to take a family photograph during family events, and travel purpose. So I wont need the wide angle lenses, I'd just buy the mitakon and 1 AF lens if i go down the GFX route. Please advise on how hard is it to manual focus. especially at night or at indoor. thank you kindly, and what a great video.
