Bronica SQ-A vs. Fujifilm GFX 100S (MEDIUM FORMAT BATTLE)

[@DavidComdico]

The Bronica for sure but which lenses?

[@valenciosmall1683]

it definitely looks like you are very proficient with your Bronica, much more so than with the 100S, so was I with my Pentax 67 but I am so in tune with my 100S that I don't even think about my Pentax

Appreciate the comment! I’ve been using the Bronica for almost 3 years and the GFX is new. I’m not a huge fan of the colors and need to find a raw workflow that suits me, otherwise I’ll be going the direction of the X2D - what do you use in your post-processing workflow?

@@camerandotclick I use capture one and have it dialed in just the way I want, it looks like if you back off the saturation a little you will be looking more like your bronica files, I have my 100S working so good for me that even having several other cameras I always go to the 100S , tried the 50S for a minute, that's one camera that I absolutely hate, some get it for its smaller files, if I want smaller files I just shoot the 100S in 35mm mode or convert the 100S files to Tiffs at whatever size I want and delete the larger 100S raw files, capture one might be the solution of you, I shoot mostly tettered and adjust the 1st image to what I want and every other image after that is imported automatically with those corrections

@@valenciosmall1683 very nice I'll have to rerun the files through C1. I typically only use it to tether and colorgrade with other software. Overall, I noticed the 100S was actually more sensitive in pickup up subtle greens and yellows that were blended into the backdrop's orange color because of reflections in the studio space I was in. Weirdly, by being less sensitive in that respect, the film rendered that color better. I can't wait until someone releases a mirrorless camera with a square sensor. Seems like only a matter of time.

@@camerandotclick You can set up your Capture One and your 100 S to shoot in a square format you might lose some resolution because of the crop but it’s 102 megapixels so you have plenty left over

[@camerandotclick]

@@valenciosmall1683 Yep I've seen the crop modes! Loads of cool options. Really waiting for that larger sensor and equivalent depth of field that you get when you move towards larger formats. I've even seem some cool 4x5 cameras being adapted for AF motors. Exciting times.

Wow, Bronica amd portra combo looks significantly better in terms colour and general essence.

[@camerandotclick]

Yeah really surprised me too - it’s my preference the longer I look at the images too
