Jack, I have to agree with Don (and same here I've been restricted travelwise due to Covid19). I got on board with the GFX100 and it is incredible. However, frankly, I am struggling with all of the options. I still actively use my H3DII39 and I love its simplicity. I am trying to mimic that simplicity with the GFX100 while taking advantage of the incredible features I never had before. For me it's been a steep learning curve.
I did a multi-week shoot in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine with side by side setups. The GFX100 allowed me to work well past sunset and the details in the shadows... wow.
I have to acclimate to new software too, probably no one here has that issue. I'll probably sign up for C1 (Phocus has been all I've needed).
I was working with it yesterday, forcing myself not to reach for my H and several things I really like, the zoom in focus check in the viewfinder is wonderful. Also, the ability to tilt out the LCD and compose is great (I know that's probably a simple feature). Shooting in the snow did give me some issues with flickering in the electronic viewfinder, because it's constantly trying to give me exposure - that can turned off, however it's nice to have.
I purchased the HC lens adapter and it works very well. I also picked up the Metabones adapter for my Canon lenses, nice! I also invested in some of the GFX lenses and they are top quality.
I have been wondering for years how long my ancient Hasselblad system will last and its been a tank. I wished there was an affordable upgrade path to 100mp with H, but I digress. I will continue to use it along side the new GFX.
Shout out to Peter for listening to my complaints and lamenting while figuring out which button does what. Last comment, thank heavens I can reassign the GFX buttons!
Be safe and Happy Holidays.

A Fuji GFX system is on my "want" list; ideally probably a GFX100 plus a 50R and a couple lenses. Lately, I've seen several very low use GFX 100's coming up for sale at attractive prices. My question is it seems like the ultimate MF platform, so I'm wondering at the recent slew of sales?
