Since owning the GFX for a little while I am quite sure I would have never been happy with the X1D. But..... that could easily be overlooked depending on the lens experience. Everybody raves about the GFX lenses but, as I'm sure some know, I'm more than a little fussy when it comes to lenses and I justify this with my thinking that the lenses are keepers for much longer than the camera body - which to me is just a throw away 2 to 3 years down the road.
The Fuji lenses have such incredible potential that I have found myself spoiled with even the smallest detraction from perfect causing me to send a lens back for replacement. They are wicked sharp but very different from my Digitar's with a more narrow DOF for the same angle of view and the transitioning from in focus to out of focus is very different with the Digitar's being much smoother..... I've learned to live with both.
I would like to hear from the GFX and Hassy owners regarding their experiences with lenses. Are they sharp edge to edge, corner to corner. What about skewing issues - the real culprit. None of these lenses are perfect as that would be impossible but both companies are getting much better with QC. Howard Cubell has had both systems, as I recall, so it would be interesting to hear from him.
I'm sure potential buyers of either system would be interested.....
Cheers......
