Sensor is only one factor. The glass is a major part of the equation.

Just curious, did you sleep in your jeep, camp or stay nearby to get easy access for sunrise/sunset opportunities? Just watched the 3 part series for the first, wonderful approach and thorough technique resulting in stunning images. Well done.

dude ... where's your MIC ? u r on beach

Great video, I've been eyeing the Fringer and Canon 100-400 lately not really loving the GFX telephoto options that much. Not that they aren't great but the flexibility for the cost is just much worse than something like the Canon.

Wonderful adventure and photography session in this one. I definitely really liked what the fog added. My favorite image from here was the lone young pine tree away from the other pines. Excellent work.

Здравствуйте, очень хорошие у вас видео, вы классный фотограф, подскажите мне как начинающему, я хочу попробовать снимать портреты в студии, и мой выбор упал на Кэнон 5DSR, как вы думаете получится снимать на него портреты в помещении и с каким объективом?, а ещё мне понравился Fuji GFX 50s II, но для меня это очень дорого, я бы его купил с удовольствием, спасибо

Thanks for sharing your settings! Going to try to capture sunrise shots in a couple weeks. Looks like you were set a ways back from Movie Rd. Im also trying for a similar foreground of the prominent rocky alabama hills mountain (closer up though than yours) and with Whitney in the background and both in focus.ill bring my 24-70 and 70-200. How zoomed in were you for those?

I currently shoot with thr R6ii but was looking at either getting the R5ii or te GFX, i know you are using the original R5 but I was shocked how much clearer the GFX is compared to the full frame canon's, maybe I should look more at the GFX in future, thanks for the review

I love my 5DSR. The problem is if I want to get a WOW effect from upgrading it, I have to go to MF camera.

Fascinating color differences. I wonder if the magenta ink is indeed more or less correct. Also, it might depend on what you're using for the matrix for them. Ideally you use the same one like D6500, for comparison instead of auto which might average the 2800k and 6500k one and become more inaccurate in the middle. Although the less error with different profiles does mean closer to our eyes response - possibly. The old stats on DXOMARK showed that the 5dsr didn't have the most fantastic color rendering accuracy so I wonder what's up with the difference between the new and old. Also saw a comparison between the gfx50 and gfx100 and they seem to have differing color, the 100 more alike the R5. I wonder what color profile you used for these, I'd use a faithful profile for comparison since it's relative colorimetric and should be exactly true to life without any subjective adjustments from the manaracturer.

Brian, this video instantly calmed within seconds and just kept getting better! Kudos!

Just picked up a 5Ds. My suspicion on it coming close to the GFX 50s II was correct after viewing this. I paid a 1/3 of the price for it vs that of a used GFX. Love the ergo on it just like the other EOS systems and love the shutter sound. Thank you.

Thank you for your time and the review. I'm contemplating a fuji and was looking for a comparison. Maybe thats just me or my pc screen but I'm not seeing a huge advantage to the fuji files. At least not an advantage that would justify loosing all the canon ecosystem

The issue with medium format is that once you need long lenses, the format falls apart in viability. Where's the 100-400mm equivalent for medium format? The longest lens Fuji offers is the equivalent field of view of a 158mm. Hasselblad tops out at the equivalent of 105mm.

Hi Brian. First let me thank you for your insightful comments on comparing the Fujifilm GFX System with FF! As a Nikon Z landscape, wildlife, macro and small products photographer, I'm quite pleased with the sharpness, detail, and overall image quality I achieve with this FF system, as I shoot 95% tripod-mounted. That said, as an admitted sharpness and detail "fanatic", I've always had a keen interest in seeing whether medium format would improve image sharpness/detail, particularly in large (30" x 40") prints. I recently attended a local Fujifilm GFX seminar, and had the chance to use the same SD card in both my Z8 and the GFX 100S ll, in order to compare image quality. As expected, even from this unscientific test, I found that even in an 8x10 print, I could see much more detail in the GFX product shot. I realize that such an IQ difference might not be visible on social media, so my question to you is, at what print size would you expect to see a significant difference (improvement) in image sharpness and detail over my FF images? (I also realize that my Nikon Z system would be better suited for my wildlife photography (longer focal length lenses, much faster burst rates, faster AF, etc.), but I was contemplating using the GFX system for landscape, macro and small product work.) And just FYI, I already employ focus stacking on my still life work, which results in very large files with extreme sharpness and detail, but still intrigued by the potential of the 400mp in-camera pixel shifting of the GFX 100 S ll. And BTW, I too, live in the Boulder area, and have many images of the "Flatties"! Thank you sir!

Great video. Liked the last photo 👍🙂🌳

I also own these 3 cameras. I take photos for different purposes with the camera that suits me best. The Fuji has the best image quality. This is particularly evident in Capture One. Fuji RAF should be edited in Capture One. The lights, colors and sharpness are then significantly better than is the case with Lightroom.

your images were not sharp, good color, missing focus point ..maybe you used high iso, camera not on tripod...

5dsr for me matched the newer camera although 10 years older.

Going to buy the canon now .

Enjoyed this video as much as Part 1! What is the name of the rock formation you photographed at the end of the video? I'd love to check that out while I'm in the area next month. Thanks for your videos and inspiration.

Stunning images. I am headed to Alabama Hills next month for the first time, and am excited to see the area. Hope to get some good shots, too. Thanks for the inspiration!

Canon shooter here and just picked up a Fujifilm X-T4 for street photography. Fell in love with it and found out about the Fuji Medium formats. Currently have a guitar listed for sale to fund the new to me Fuji GFX 50s.

There is a plastic rear baffle on the 100-400 that is easily removed and will eliminate any vignetting.

Love the intro! Beautifully introduces the mood of the whole video. And great shot of that lone tree!

Interesting! I've never seen anyone else use Canon glass on a Fuji. The pano-aspect image with the birds is my favorite, but they are all very nice. You certainly had that owl's attention. Good video work to my eyes too.

Amazing! That owl at 0:25 is incredible and the colors in the sunset shots at the end are so so good!

This was a great video, Brian! Great to see you out even more! And those sunset colors! Man, I'm jealous!! I love that panorama crop of the mountains at 9:13! Keep up the great work, and it's great to see River again!

Missed this film while we were away travelling Brian so catching up - stunning conditions to shoot after a break away from the camera and the images just got better ! My two favourites were 08:56 and 09:16 which would look great printed - take care and all the best.

Beautiful intro Brian and loved seeing the all the wildlife over there. Loved the side light tree image and my favourite was the dramatic sunset with the swooshing illuminated high clouds - just a grand explosion of colours! Enjoyed all the images and explanation of the vignetting - great to see you out and all the best>

Really liked this video. The video quality itself and the photography 👌

Great volg Brian. The panos are my favs, but there's not a picture I don't like. I've mentioned before I love your easy, relaxed vloging style, which is so easy to watch. I look forward to the next one.

Love those last two images, fantastic! Nice light! good to see you in the field. Take care, buddy!

Hi Brian, great video. New subscriber. What make of L bracket are you using for your GFX? I’m struggling there and am not quite ready to spend the dough on a RRS but I will need one that doesn’t torque out of place.

Bro you are way too calm for that amount of epic light. I would have been sh#@*&itting myself all morning. I kept waiting for you to take off one of your gloves to reveal a titanium Terminator endo-skeleton. Very nice pics.

Do you not like the focus peaking of the GFX, figured you would use that with manual focusing?

Lovely images from that afternoon and evening. I especially like the last one, nice composition. A nice surprise to see a new video from you so soon after the previous one. I need to go out and make a new video. It has been a while. I've been shooting a bunch, but haven't been recording any of it.

Great drizzly and atmospheric conditions. I can see why the image at 9:20 is your favorite - I found it fantastic as well.

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. sub & 👍88

Nice shots Brian. This video really has a seasonal transition feel to it with the yellow grasses fog.

Rainy day is also very beautiful and wonderful in Boulder, Colorado. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice day❤

So relaxing to watch! Great work ❤

Where's the dog!?

Good to see another vid from you! Looks like an amazing CO day. I think my favorite was that shot at 9:17.

Really cool video Brian! Very immersive feel throughout and wonderful images to tell the story of your rainy, atmospheric morning. Here's to many more awesome mornings with no crowds!

Just what I needed, a little time in the great outdoors! Watching this. Makes me realize I much I miss fog and mist in the mornings; it’s been a long time. I love the quiet subtle sounds of nature in the background! BTW, the last image was my favorite. I hope to be out this weekend. Thanks for sharing, buddy! See ya on the trail!

My son and I were in Boulder last Sunday! As always, amazing video and beautiful photos Brian!

You have motivated me to try some different aspect ratios. It is something I almost never do but several of these shots really brought out how well it can work. Looking forward to cooler weather here in SC Foothills. I hate summer in general and the heat, humidity and endless green that comes with it. Really saps my motivation to go out! Enjoyed it Brian.

Nice images!

Nice to see you again Brian. Great work as always. Always enjoying your videos.
