I use the first ever Fujifilm GFX.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Whattttt?! Never expected that swoon-worthy shout out! Crushing right back attcha Omar. Was so excited to see you shooting this camera in your last video, only to be topped by this one!

[@ogonzilla]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ogonzilla]

Loved the adapted lens bw photo of the kids. That got me started down the rabbit hole.

[@EddyMaynard]

Thanks so much for the mention! ❤

[@michaelajoseph6856]

Thank you. It was so fun watching the video. Brilliant images as usual.

[@ogonzilla]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MorningNapalm]

I've had this camera for 4-5 years and adore it. I keep thinking about moving up to a 100S or S2, but somehow I just enjoy this one.

[@bianx817]

I have this same setup and it truly is wonderful! Purchased the GFX50s back when it came out and never felt the need to upgrade the body. Reminds me of the Contax 645.

[@artur.charaev]

Thank you for the good vibes in each video Omar and congrats with new camera

[@kksweden583]

Been an amateur photographer since 1973 and my style of photography isn't close to yours but still I just really like watching your videos with that humor regardless of subject and of course, watching your pictures in those videos even if that's not my style at all.

[@mike216514]

2:10 50s blackout time should be 0.3 second, the reason yours is slow as such is because you turn on the colour chrome or enhancement setting. Been using this camera for 6 years for weddings and portraits and I still love it to bits. It has one of the best hand grip for a camera. Sadly I was informed that some parts of this camera is no longer produced so I have to drop it for the newer models😢

[@B0k3h]

You crack me up! Love the transparency and acceptance of how things don’t always go as planned. Thanks for the video, great stuff.

[@DJBastor]

I got the 50sii it is an awesome camera

[@zed91]

The picture of the couple is great. The lighting is so good, looks like a studio shot.

[@ogonzilla]

Thank you!

[@BrianK04]

@@ogonzilla Did you have to do subject masking or global adjustments to brighten them up on that specific photo (based on sooc its dark)?

[@ogonzilla]

@@BrianK04 global. No masking. Exposure up. Highlights down. 😊👍🏽

[@nicedward7544]

Great shots. I liked the "goofed" cemetery shot better than the edit.

[@peterujfalusi2764]

Hi Omar, great as allways! 😊 Maybe this helps speeding up your waiting time during black screen: turn of crome color and soft skin tones. It is that render time, that causes the problem - at least with my GFX 50R (that I love … and sell, as I have upgraded to a GFX 100 s for higher resolution, phase AF and IBIS - hoping this turn out as a good decision). Cheers, Peter, Austria

[@regularplayer1]

2:10 your gfx seems much slower than it should be, its not that slow, u may want to change your color chrome settings

[@stevengower7396]

Also, wanted to add that I love the audio of the city sounds. Often wanted to do the same in a very different scenario, in the woods. In seems so quiet until you stop talking, moving, and just listen. Suddenly there's a whole world of sound you haven't been hearing.

[@gcadiz]

0:48 that explains the quality and feel of the audio! I’ve been thinking of the same thing and have my eyes on ine of those zoom field recorders

[@sithbk0075]

Had GFX100s and pair w gf110mm two yrs ago and one of the best combo for portrait I ever used. Yes the combo were big and heavy but it’s all abt the result. Sadly I sold it due to shoulder injury but hopefully in the future Fuji will make smaller and lighter medium format.

[@AntonioPMFerreira]

Congrats Omar! You should try to use some Pentax 67 lenses on your gfx…you wouldn’t regret it.

[@angeloplayforone]

Congratulations with your camera. Great video about street photography in New York with an old GFX 50 Mpixel with manual focus lens.

[@benjhaisch]

Thanks for the shoutout! Was great to connect in NYC recently as well!

[@StarLightDotPhotos]

Will we get a Omar/Ben video??

[@ogonzilla]

Absolutely! Great meeting you!

[@robertjburns9206]

Nice to see my favourite camera getting a little love. You can reduce the blackout by disabling chrome effect. Enjoy😊

[@amermeleitor]

Omar i watched a video where you explain how to fix Sony skin tones. Could you make some kind of comparison between Sony, Fuji, Nikon and Canon cameras from the present? I think Canon and Sony raw color have changed a lot the last years. It would be interesting to see the differences today about raw color science with the same WB and / or auto WB

[@stevengower7396]

I love the Ca-Clack of the shutter. I use Peak Design anchors looped around the strap lugs, works well.

[@airlanggajati]

Love the tone

[@darksiderahb]

Stop influencing me to pick up Fuji’s “bigboi”, Omar!” 🤣

[@marekdzurak1867]

well for the prices now ...get a Xmas early gift :D

[@KNURKonesur]

I got a heavily discounted GFX 50R early this year... and now I'm selling all my full frame and apsc gear, keeping only the GFX and film cameras.

[@joao.s.cardoso]

Last month I decided to try film and shoot some rolls I had on my fridge since.... 1998. Got an F80 with a couple of lens for the price of an SD card. Had fun. A friend told me he had some 20 years old camera gear on a bag that was pretty much with no use. Loaned it to me. Got an F5 on it. Plus an 18mm. And a 85mm 1.8 with lots of character (read fungus). Had fun again. This was getting problematic. Saw an F3+FM10 bundle being sold. Made an offer, Got a great deal with the DW-3 waist level finder. I'm now officially in trouble, Send a couple of Ektachrome to develop, have a Fujifilm 100 on the F3 plus an Agfa 100 on the F80, and 2 TRI-X probably in really bad shape because it was not on the fridge. So Omar... don't try film. Really don't. This is quite addictive. On man... I need t go and take a few more pictures with the F3. The shutter sound... and the F5? I need a fix. Bad. And now on a serious note... I now take my X100V (or X-E4) and a Film camera and obviously I make more pictures with the Fujifilm but I'm having a lot of fun with film. Its a whole new mindset. Every pictures costs you money. So you tend to try and be sure that its something you really want to spend money on. We don't know what will be on the film, we don't even know if the film is reasonably ok to have anything on it when using expired film... but I'm counting the days to get the Ektachrome back and see the results. I was not new to film. Back in the late 90 early 2000 I developed my own film at home, printed it, the works. I would send hours to print 4 pictures on 30x40cm paper. Perhaps I should start to develop again at home. Did I said I was in trouble already?

[@KNURKonesur]

There's also a plethora of vintage "full frame" lenses that work on a GFX with no issues via a cheap adapter. I got a Minolta Rokkor 58/1.4 for $30 and I love it. Considered the Mitakon as well, but it's too clean, the bokeh is too buttery, and I like my bokeh surreal and punchy, so the double gauss design in the Minolta works perfect for me. Otherwise a Carl Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 also works great, but it the angle of view on GFX was just on the edge of my sweet spot and I didn't like that as much, even though the contrast and bokeh are tasty.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@wilsonsantos384]

I have both, camera and Mitakon lens, I don’t care about the Black out, its amazing IQ still.

[@DyablommeHaywood]

Great vid! Makes me wonder how the GFX 50S II Compares to the OG.

[@jackofblades6736]

Traded the 50s to 100sii. Happy that the dual picture can be swapped.

[@StarLightDotPhotos]

I use my GFX 50s for scanning 120 film!

[@marcusbeasley3212]

I was not expecting the 50S to be that much slower than the 100S. You can put a man on the moon in between shots. Nice shots though. I've done some street stuff with the 100S and like it. I'm just not using a manual focus lens for this stuff so more props to you on that. Same with my portrait stuff. I just don't have the time to be "that" slow.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

nice video 🙂 I had the 50R for 2 years. wonderful camera for landscapes it's well worth picking up the EVF attachment - it's bit of a game changer

[@MrThestokers]

Great video, I reckon you're about 6 months away from a Rolleiflex, you know you want to try one 😊

[@Juventinos]

get a hasselblad H3-39 it's cheap now. try it make a video. what a camera.

[@lawyerdch]

Love your content. And I don’t even shoot fujifilm. They appear to be a great company with great cameras. I like my Nikon Zf, however. Q: how do you manage used cards so they don’t get mixed up with unused cards? I keep my cards in a nice case with those clear plastic pockets, but it’s a pain keeping track of the used ones vs. the next empty one to put in my camera.

[@pawpaw324]

I just picked up that lens for my GFX 50S II. I still need to take it through it's paces. However, the lens is a complete tank!!! I feel like I'm wielding Mjölnir.

[@TylerCordaro]

Try it side by side with the hasselblad x1d ii 50c

[@MattAnART]

Great video! I think seeing the first digital Fujifilm camera would be interesting too

[@cremersalex]

That's the one I have! I also had the Mitakon lens but I sold it because the combo was too heavy. However, seeing what you've done with it makes me regret that I sold it.

[@larryleung9514]

Nice video as usual Omar, I know the older 50 series bodies are slow (I had a 50R) but I found a V90 class card sped up my 100S noticeably even though it doesn't call for it.

[@marekdzurak1867]

I was for shopping wanted GFX but 100 or 50 S II ? almost same price I decided for 50 Mk 2 and I was right Medium sensor on smaller side with 50 mpx is ideal

[@StarLightDotPhotos]

The OG 50s also has a battery grip available!

[@jonesnax]

So weird, I was out shooting today with that exact set up ! 😍

[@hubertcole1645]

Love your stuff … need your opinion since you are a professional event shooter … best Fuji jpeg sims BW and color for people? I usually shoot raw/ jpeg but for family events looking to just do jpeg. I have xt5 and x100vi. Thanks😊

[@troz856]

I use a 50R and really enjoy the analogue dials and the filmic experience. I wish Fuji would make a 100R with exactly the same controls and IBIS. I'd buy it like a shot.

[@KNURKonesur]

My thoughts exactly. Maybe not even a 100R but a 50R II with IBIS, slightly smaller body, better low light performance and maybe bigger (optional?) grip.

[@jacquesnel8384]

Wonderful !

[@tgamron]

The GFX50 has a nice look.

[@classic.cameras]

Omar did you send any of these photos to the people? Like the fellas or the couple?

[@ogonzilla]

I offered

[@RSA548]

​@@ogonzilla Sometimes that's all you can do, lots of people are simply not interested. I was walking around with my x-t3 for the first time a few years ago, took some pics of a lady's dog for her and I sent the photos back to her via email. It was a nice interaction

[@roccobot]

​@@ogonzillado you ask money for those, in case?

Don't sleep on those photos where you missed focus. If you look at old street photo books the focal point is often super off!

@@MaxR. Maybe my GFX 50 is different or faulty? Because, with Chrome on, I really have to wait longer between taking pics.
