In addition, it provides shutter for use on a view camera and compatibility with even UWA lenses (wider than ever) that will cause no color casts.if you don't need flash sync speed above 1/125th, no brainer the GFX, much cheaper and it will be the A7 of medium format with a millions of adapters coming up for all mounts with 35mm format and bigger.
I believe (personal opinion) that 33x44mm sensor is perfect for use on a view camera, due to far more lenses being compatible and ability to work with wider lenses than any other sensor size.Looking at the two new mirrorless cameras I have just acquired a CFV-50c.
Primarily for the long term option of returning to an Alpa STC/SWA and
a couple of HR Rodies.
I do have a A7RII and Loxia lenses as a travel cam.
There are a lot of folks moving in the opposite direction ....
The CFV-50c will be swapped down the line for a larger sensor back.
Not a cheap alternative but it does allow a few more options.
And I never got over my 30 year love of the V cameras.

Talking about wide angles - I agree. For single exposure, 44x33 gets movement with Rodenstock 23HR, which is filter-friendly, and at the same time, wider than 54x40 with Rodenstock 32HR, which is filter-unfriendly.I believe (personal opinion) that 33x44mm sensor is perfect for use on a view camera, due to far more lenses being compatible and ability to work with wider lenses than any other sensor size.
One can share the same lenses for all his tasks if he uses 54x40 sensor on a "non-movement" DSLR and then 44x33 on his view camera. After all, if one uses a tech camera, the abilities one adds, is far more important than using a larger sensor or improving on (details of the) image quality.
Last sentence is yet to be verified. Fuji is well-known for its highly inflated ISO numbers.You have to compare it to the IQ3100!!! I couldn't find the link to the actual comparison test, just the "article" on mirrorlessrumors.com That last sentence though... :ROTFL:
Fake news? Define "highly inflated." ISO is a standard. You can't use it if you don't follow it.Fuji is well-known for its highly inflated ISO numbers.
are you using a CF filter with the 23 ?Talking about wide angles - I agree. For single exposure, 44x33 gets movement with Rodenstock 23HR, which is filter-friendly, and at the same time, wider than 54x40 with Rodenstock 32HR, which is filter-unfriendly.
Just to be clear. I was NOT agreeing with the comment. I was laughing at the statements in general.Last sentence is yet to be verified. Fuji is well-known for its highly inflated ISO numbers.
As a side note, CCD digital backs (e.g. 80MP and 60MP from Phase One) also seems to use the trick of inflated ISO numbers to hide its impotence of low light (supported by dxo numbers as well as forum posts about having to push in post-processing).
If you are looking for a good scientific article in English, I don't know. Though I know a good article in another language.Fake news? Define "highly inflated." ISO is a standard. You can't use it if you don't follow it.
Yes, for long exposure, a center filter is mandatory, otherwise the vignetting is too harsh.are you using a CF filter with the 23 ?
i will test an iq150 tomorrow with my 28HR but don't have the center filter.
What strobes are you using and do you achieve full power at theses sync speeds? Usually with HSS power is reduced. However, if Elinchrom makes an adapter for Fuji then you'll achieve full power sync with compatible units.The GFX does support HSS with the Fuji EX-500.
I have used HSS with the X-T2 up to 1/1000 and it worked quite well for my application.
May not work well for studio work however.

They (Elinchrom) are working on one.What strobes are you using and do you achieve full power at theses sync speeds? Usually with HSS power is reduced. However, if Elinchrom makes an adapter for Fuji then you'll achieve full power sync with compatible units.
