Well in that case you could well start living on the street., yes one ought to wait a long time to get it secondhand, but my mind, most of the time, ain't constructed that way, so starvation might become a tempting offer
And the thoughts of street and casual with the 50R are really triggering me...
well, time will solve the headache...
, yes in that case one didn't have to worry about getting out of the door or not, and everything would be available there right at/on your feets,Well in that case you could well start living on the street.
Find a cosy bridge to make your new home: you can easily take snaps of passersby and/or (other) photogs who share the same dream ...
One major caveat: what to do with the wifey ?
Oh well, you'll think of some something I'm sure ...
congrats KH !!!

Thanks guys. This is now my 5th ILC system of a different kind.Welcome to the club KH:salute:
Nikon F, Leica M, Olympus m43, Sony E and Fuji GFX.This is now my 5th ILC system of a different kind.
Maybe it’s just me but I thought the Fuji menus weren’t all that different from the Sony menus.... there were fewer options but the structure seemed similar (which wasn’t bad for me because I figured them out pretty quickly). Being away from Canon for a little over 10 years now (on a daily basis) I didn’t find picking up the EOS R to be quite as easy to pick up initially but it eventually came back to me once I remembered their naming conventions for the same things.Thanks guys. This is now my 5th ILC system of a different kind.
Yikes, these Fuji hardcore engineers don't even think of displaying the Firmware version number of the GFX 50S somewhere in the menu! :banghead:
Anyway, I just updated the Firmware of my 50S from version 3.0 to 3.2.
And it still seems to work. Amazing! :thumbs:
But there are certainly bugs in their system. :banghead: :thumbdown: :shocked:
Sometimes my 50S goes into wild spasms when it doesn't properly switch from the LCD to the EVF. :banghead:
WOW! I have never seen this in any of my other camera systems! :facesmack:
On a familiar note, at the top level the 50S menu is structured similarly to the one of the E-M1.2.
That's all good! :clap: Sony should use that idea as well. :grin:
As Bart demonstrated in starting this thread, the GFX 50S certainly is capable of delivering superb IQ! :thumbs:
So Bart, how about getting back to my question from yesterday:
"How do you assess the native lenses you have experience with, and also the others you have not tried yet?"
Your initial response was after all. quote:
"Pffff ! Questions, questions, questions !Do remind me tomorrow, will you ?
I'm off to bed now.
Nighty-night." :ROTFL: :watch:
I find that to be spot on though I’ve only used the 45, 63, 32-64, and the 110 myself. I also agree that people should “unlearn” focus and recompose techniques in general on Mirrorless since you have AF across the entire sensor be it PDAF and/or CDAF.FWIW : I can't summarise in words more concise than what was posted by Mr Lovegrove in the review pointed to in above link - to quote him which mirrors my experience with 23/35-63 zoom/110 and 120 so far:
GFX lenses are flat field meaning if you point one at a brick wall 2 metres away and set it wide open focussed at 2m it will create a sharp shot edge to edge and corner to corner even though the corners of the frame may be 3m from the lens. The focussing distance changes as you the pan away from centre. That’s why a focus and reframe system of focussing doesn’t work with GFX unless the lens is stopped down somewhat. Incidentally it’s also one of the main reason SLR users tend to get back focus issues. With an SLR, only the near centre focussing areas are sensitive and accurate due to the way the prism operates. With the Fujifilm GFX system all the focus zones are as sensitive as each other even right into the corners and that is why focusing errors are a thing of the past.
For composed thought through shooting the GFX lenses do not lose ground to any other lens manufacturer in MF. Again - these systems can be used for snapshots but show themeselves at their best when a photographer actually is takes time to make a shot.
Thanks Tre, I don’t have any of the 4 lenses you have used, namely 45, 63, 32-64, and 110. From what I have read the 110 seems to be highly regarded by some folks, primarily as a portrait lens. The 32-64 is described as a work horse, whatever ,that means. For the remaining two primes 45 and 64 there seem to be some doubts about their focusing performance. Optically they are considered fine but slow. What’s your take on those lenses? I would really appreciate your guidance. TIA.I find that to be spot on though I’ve only used the 45, 63, 32-64, and the 110 myself.

For the E-M1.2 Olympus introduced a left hand column, a short hand notation for groups of functions detailed to the right individually. One can go down those 2 columns either by groups or individual functions.Maybe it’s just me but I thought the Fuji menus weren’t all that different from the Sony menus.... there were fewer options but the structure seemed similar (which wasn’t bad for me because I figured them out pretty quickly).

You know, it's such a smart statement as there will always be a tomorrow after tomorrow ...So Bart, how about getting back to my question from yesterday:

So tomorrow it is - savvy ?
:ROTFL:
No worries, I'll get back to you, K-H.
But seriously answering such question takes a bit of time ...
The 32-64 definitely focuses faster than the 63 because it has linear motors but the 63 was still useable to me. The 32-64 gives an obvious advantage of having one lens to cover 25-51 (35mm equivalent) and give you that one lens solution in the mid range. I could see the 45 and 63 being more attractive if they were f/2 lenses but you’re only losing one stop with the zoom so I’d go that way myself if I bought into the GFX system.Thanks Tre, I don’t have any of the 4 lenses you have used, namely 45, 63, 32-64, and 110.

Ahhh. I got it. So you’d prefer the addition of subgroups to the menu system to cut down the number of pages initially seen and for the options to be further grouped together if I’m understanding correctly.For the E-M1.2 Olympus introduced a left hand column, a short hand notation for groups of functions detailed to the right individually. One can go down those 2 columns either by groups or individual functions.
Fujifilm does the same.
Sony has at the highest level 6 panels, arranged in a 3x2 grid. If one goes into one of the panels, one can go by group or individual function horizontally through all of them. That seems a bit contrived to me, workable but clumsy. :facesmack:
Thanks Tre. Sony should get rid of their 3x2 top level panels.Ahhh. I got it. So you’d prefer the addition of subgroups to the menu system to cut down the number of pages initially seen and for the options to be further grouped together if I’m understanding correctly.
Thanks Bart. Very interesting.Comparison by Kasson: Fuji 110/2 vs 120/4 on GFX-50s
I forgot about his testing. I read through quite a bit of it earlier this year.Comparison by Kasson: Fuji 110/2 vs 120/4 on GFX-50s
So does this mean you’re skipping out on the 400/2.8 GM now?Thanks Bart. Very interesting.
