That intro was aesthetic AF! How's the manual focus experience on the GFX 50R? I've heard it's not great on the newer cameras even the GFX 50sii and doesn't get good till the latest cameras. I'm thinking about getting the 100sii.

[@PatrickHRogers]

thank you so much! I personally am perfectly okay with the viewfinder. sometimes it’s a little slow switching from EFV to LCD, but that’s in comparison to an xt5 or xh2s, so the comparison doesn’t really make sense when you consider how old the 50R is. so it’s quick enough for me! quality wise, i think it’s perfectly fine too, as long as my diopter is set correctly, im able to see my focus peaking very well

[@EricAdeleye]

Excellent work.

[@PatrickHRogers]

@@EricAdeleye thank you!!

Enjoying your series of Fujifilm 50R. I have to ask though, the background music on these last 3-4 videos have been a hit. Is it just instrumentals or where do you find these?

[@PatrickHRogers]

@@DCFotographs thank you so much!! I use Artlist for all of my music!

[@techinblack]

preciate it!

I prefer mitakon 65mm... Similar dof in a wide view PERSPECTIVE (medium format like) ... I think mitakon needs to do something like a new 45mm or 50mm with similar Dof. THAT'S COULD SOLD OUT QUICKLY

[@PatrickHRogers]

@@raily9713 yeah, I would’ve loved to have something equivalent to a 35 or 40mm in the setting i shot in!

[@snowkombat263]

[@PatrickHRogers]

@@snowkombat263 i use adobe premiere pro to colorgrade all of my videos!
