Hey man , I have an a7c as well and I’m looking at maybe swapping to an a9 for the speed since I’m photographing mainly dogs. since you said you had both would you recommend that ? I’ve heard the Dynamic range isn’t as good on the a9 as the a7c but honestly from all the photos I’ve seen I haven’t noticed it.

@Lonnie.G 6 күн бұрын

If you are looking for a bit more frames per second or AF performance (especially stickiness of the AF) with fast moving subjects, then yes, you will absolutely notice a difference . I’ve shot both side by side for sports and there’s a noticeable difference. The a7c is my B cam for those situations when I need a secondary focal length and typically only use it for the slower candid moments (time outs etc)

I'm also thinking about buying a GFX 50 sII, the reason is not that I'm dissatisfied with the Sony a7rIII, but that I also shoot analogue medium format. So this slower photography is not new to me. Do you happen to have a comparison between a fullframe camera with 40 - 50mpx and the GFX? The resolutions are now similarly high. Do you still see a difference? Your photos are great ! best regards BM

What an awesome video. I love my Canon 5D Classic. I actually sold it a couple of years ago, ended up regretting it and contacting the person I sold it to to ask if he was using it. He wasn't and let me buy it back :-) I've had many different cameras, including some Leicas, and yet I always keep coming back to the 5D. I have a 28/1.8 permanently attached to it, but today I actually got the 40mm pancake lens for it to try out. The only thing I don't like about this camera is low light autofocus.

@GerritADHS Ай бұрын

I’ve just bought an X-pro 1 a few months ago. I’ve always wanted one since I had first put my hands on one at a street photography workshop back in 2014. I’ve had Fujis a few years ago but as I got more into video work, I switched to Sony. But now, as I notice that I don’t really enjoy doing client videos, I’m thinking about switching back to Fuji. And to be honest, I wouldn’t go for the most modern line. I’d go for the X-Pro 2 and a solid line of prime lenses. Right now, I use my Sony Full frame equipment for work but I use my X-Pro 1 or the film cameras for my hobby. Why not combine them and enjoy work again?

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.

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.G 3 ай 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

@@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.

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.

@Lonnie.G 4 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.
