I've shot the D850 and all the top-shelf Sony products for year. I'm a working artist and I do predominately portraits. I also balance that work with a "day job" so funds are unlimited and I'm not a commercial shooter based in LA or somewhere, where rates are a bit more lucrative...
I've been curious of the DMF products since the GFX's inception. At that time, P1 products were super out of reach. I've wanted to explore DMF mainly because I can afford to now and I'm very much interested in a different process with shooting, better color production (skintones).
Today I could grab a GFX and the 63 for maybe $3500, which feels like a bargain. I could, however, also get a IQ250 back and maybe the 645 body or -- for thousands more -- the XF. The 55 non-blue ring I very much have in sight.
Anyway, besides the EVF versus OVF, why would anyone opt for the P1 in this case? I understand there are LS lenses, but excluding that criterion. I think I already know the GFX is the safer investment, but, if I'm being a bit vain, I'm always looked at the P1 with fascination. Thank you for reading
