Shooting With The GFX 50R and Mitakon 65mm

[@andrewgifford7740]

That shot at 14:15 is captivating - great depth, scale and story. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@fitosub]

Great video Jon! I would like to listen about the 45mm f2.8 that I know you have it!

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Those images at around the 11 minute mark are amazing! Wow. Interested in that lens now

[@connorthompson05]

Hey Man, thanks for sharing. I started following you when researching the GFX 50R and the Mitakon lens. I love your style, even though it’s not my own. I find that to be very interesting how I love your look, but end up not trying to emulate it myself. That’s part of why photography, as an art form, is so fun… thanks again.

[@withfilm]

Solid work and great info about the files. 50R is def on the radar.

[@RostykMakushak]

Jon, thanks for this lovely video! I own GFX50R paired with GF50/3.5 However I just don’t enjoy the images that come out of this combo. Always was looking towards Mitakon - it seems to create that “medium for at look”. I love how you develop your photos, great presets - almost undistinguishable from film.

[@harraikhalsa]

Nice work! I loved the shots of Gary!

[@RuPeLaRi]

Thank you so much for the walkthrough. I've been searching for a while in how to go for a film look within Lightroom, and that is spot on. Great work. (Also, secretly wishing to buy a GFX50R).

[@YuseiYGO1]

Can you do more of this? This is really amazing! I am debating whether or not to get the mitakon, and this video is really helpful! Even better, if you can make a video of you shooting using the mitakon! Especially showing the focusing process!

[@hugomartinsphoto]

This was great, Jon incredible images!

[@SlavaVeres]

Really awesome photography! Please keep posting! I appreciate you sharing about your process

[@bendroege]

Been following your work for a little bit man! Great video, loved watching your process editing these photos. Keen to see more videos from you!

[@eag6074]

Will you make a video on your change to Nikon/Voigtlander instead of this combo and how it compares?

[@paulred158]

Very nice work . Great combo.

[@george_edward_]

Easy sub decision. I’ll have to try this lens and make a video on it. These photos are gorgeous

[@thearthurhitchcock]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Nice to see some of your workflow with this set up. Have been contemplating picking a GFX (currently running a 645Z) because of all the lens adaptations. Seems pretty like you’ve found a solid setup for your work with this. Congrats and keep it up! Will stay tuned for more for sure.

[@nicklaytonUK]

So sold on this camera and also, I have to say I really love your approach to your craft. I'm sometimes the one looking for punch in their images and a bucketload of contrast, and this approach says, 'hang on there, one cotton picking moment' (in the nicest possible way) and let the subject do the talking. Well, with a sensor and lens arrangement like this, it's easier. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your skill.

[@eliastahan2394]

Great video and techniques. Love your vibe and style.

[@CoanBread751]

Thanks for the detailed video. I love your work and hope you keep posting on here. Personally, I would love to see some content detailing your philosophy to approaching strangers for photographs or finding people to photograph in general.

[@JGphotoyt]

Beautiful photos man, just subscribed hope to see more in the future! Definitely going to at least rent this camera.

[@lishao578]

Also have 50R and this lens! I like the photos you shoot and edited. They really have film look! Could you please share your presets? I would like to try :-)

[@SlavaVeres]

Really awesome shots!

[@brubecktime]

Congrats on your first video, Jon! It is great to see you in KZbin! I am one of those psychos reaching out on IG to learn about this combo :) I love the look it gives and it is really close to the type if separation I like from the Pentax 105mm for 6x7. I you are searching for ideas: I'd be interested in seeing how you work with your models while doing these sessions, how you shoot on the Pentax 67, and also how other adapted lenses work/look in the GFX. I've heard good things about the Minolta 58mm 1.2, for example and some Voigtlander Noktons with Nikon mount. Greetings from Amsterdam Sebastian

[@doomstache]

Thanks for the kind words. I have the Minolta lens and will definitely make another video with it soon!

[@fernandolobina6459]

How are you compressing the images for web? I use photoshop and export so that they are 2000px max size, with a quality of 8. Buy sometimes the grain that is added seems to not compress very well. Any ideas?

[@Dscar1]

What about shooting close portraits? You use this as well? Funny I shoot with the Pentax 67 atm and am looking for a digital buddy for it.

[@doomstache]

This is as close as it gets for a digital buddy! I'll try and go over close portraits in the next video. It's really great for that!

[@Dscar1]

@@doomstache do you use a different lens?

[@_o__o_]

y u stop making video?

[@somchai3366]

Please make preset for Luminar Neo, your work are just the best👏

Really cool, thanks for sharing man

[@dmitrygornov2894]

Thanks for the video! What can you say about the moire of GFX cameras? Is this really a problem or have you never encountered it? (I read on DPReview about moire on FX50s)

[@doomstache]

Definitely not a problem for me! I never notice it. Especially in the style that I shoot

[@dmitrygornov2894]

@@doomstache thanks!

[@jomartingson]

Thank you Doomstache!!! Been following you on IG! 🧔🏻‍♂

[@jeanjoseph2288]

Hey Jon did shoot these wide open ?

[@grantmartel7955]

Amazing! Thank you so much for this content!

[@doomstache]

My pleasure!

[@murkom]

On the last picture - try to use luminance mask. You will be able to more precisely select the sky and nothing else (like the electric pole),

Pretty cool to click on a random youtube video and seeing my presets in use. :-)

[@doomstache]

The best damn presets available! I recommend you guys to everyone

It's an Optech USA strap

Thanks!

yo where's your voice at brother, turn that shit up.

[@PeteEdmunds]

Great video thanks Jon. The Dehaze idea is really useful, I’ll definitely give that a try. I found you over on Instagram and dropped you a message.
